I built an electric "Mongoose Paratrooper" folding bicycle to use for transportation and its ability to fold and fit in the back of a small aircraft. It's worked great so far for this purpose, but every 50-100 miles or so the chain starts skipping gears. Usually it starts in the middle gears and higher gears under load (4-5-6), but it has done it on all gears except the lowest one.
When I bring it to a bike shop, they replace the chain and the cassette, and send me on my way. This works great, sets be back $30-40, and I have the problem again a few months later.
What is the proper fix to improve the reliability of the bicycle?
This bicycle is used to get me into town or around the campsite, but not much more.
