So let me get this straight, you want a toy for amusing yourself at your hotel but you're turning your nose up at what you think are "toy" folders?

Bikes like the Strida were designed to be and are some of the most practical machines in existence. They are not toys.

But it sounds like you want something more in the vein of a toy superhero bike, so by all means avoid the smallest folders and get a Brompton.
