Performance:
The running speed, stability, rideability and sturdiness of CarryMe are much better than the A-bike.

Foldability:
The speed and convenience of folding of A-bike are much better than the CarryMe. The A-bike takes less than 10 seconds in folding or unfolding. My neighbor takes 30 seconds to 1 minute to unfold and secure all the locks of his CarryMe DS each time.
