ODSPTER Folding bike transport bag, 20–22 inch review
A transport bag for 20 to 22 inch folding bikes in 600D polyester, measuring 85 × 33 × 69 cm (33.5 × 13 × 27.2 in) and weighing 1.2 kg (2.6 lb), with an adjustable shoulder strap.
Our conclusion The right bag for a folding bike on public transport. Not an aircraft hold case, and it does not claim to be.
ODSPTER’s bag is the practical solution to the folding bike’s real problem: it folds, and then it is a greasy object you have to carry.
What the manufacturer publishes
High-quality 600D polyester fibers, described as very solid with high tear resistance. Dimensions of 85 × 33 × 69 cm (33.5 × 13 × 27.2 in), suitable for 20 to 22 inch folding bikes, weighing 1.2 kg (2.6 lb). Easy to clean with a damp cloth. An adjustable shoulder strap and a large zip.
What 1.2 kg (2.6 lb) buys you
An airline sports allowance is commonly 23 kg (50.7 lb). A hard case can weigh 10 to 12 kg (22 to 26.5 lb) of that; this weighs 1.2. On a folding bike at 12 kg (26.5 lb), the whole package is inside the allowance with room to spare.
What a soft bag actually does
It keeps chain oil off everything else, stops the bike marking train interiors and car boots, and makes a folded bike something you can carry into an office without apologizing. It does not protect against a baggage handler.
The size constraint
Twenty to twenty-two inch wheels. That is Brompton-and-larger folding territory. Smaller folders and full-size bikes are different bags — both are in this hub.
Availability
No such listing: the American Amazon shop answers the reference with a search box rather than a page.

Strengths
Published dimensions and weight, which most bags in this category omit
1.2 kg (2.6 lb), so it barely counts against an airline sports allowance
A large zip opening and an adjustable shoulder strap
Compromises
Folding bikes 20–22 inch only — not a full-size bike bag
Soft polyester offers protection against dirt and scuffs rather than impact

The questions riders ask
Will a full-size bike fit?
No. ODSPTER states 20 to 22 inch folding bikes and gives the bag as 85 × 33 × 69 cm (33.5 × 13 × 27.2 in). The lamaki in this hub covers 14–20 inch; the EVOC and VEVOR cover full-size bikes.
Does it protect against impacts?
It is a soft 600D polyester bag. It protects against dirt, scuffs and grease on other luggage. For genuine impact protection in an aircraft hold, a hard case is a different product.
Our score
7.2/ 10
The right bag for a folding bike on public transport. Not an aircraft hold case, and it does not claim to be.
Who buys this one, among bike gear
Folding bike owners taking a bike on a train, into an office, or as airline baggage.
