The Moulton provides wonderful riding comfort with its tunable suspension and surprising speed on ther road. I have been riding Moultons for over 25 years and even the 1965 Stowaway astonishes me with its handling and comfort with relatively primitive suspension compared to my 1973 Mark III and the 1989 ATB and even the 1995 Pashley/Moulton. The newest models feel like spaceships that you can pack up in a small box and take with you anywhere. You will not be disappointed if you buy any model.
Don't forget the Bridgestone/Moulton model either as it is the least expensive model.
