It looks like a great bike, and has gotten a lot of good reviews, but it doesn't seem to fold into a small package. It would be best suited for car/air transport or closet storage rather than getting into businesses. It's made by Pacific, which makes the smaller Birdy as well. The quality of the engineering on the Birdy is outstanding.

But if I wanted a big folder, I would only go with the Reach if suspension is desired. Otherwise, I'd shoot for a Bike Friday (a little more expensive for the same components) or a Swift (a lot less expensive, well built bike with only a slightly larger fold). Both of these latter bikes produce a rough ride, though.
