If you would like to define folding in terms of ease, you are welcome to. Let me ramp that ease thing up. Since my Tikit folds in five seconds and my Helios P8 folds in 35 seconds minimum, I'm going to declare that Dahons and Bromptons aren't folding bikes. I consider them small bikes that separate at certain points in the frame. :-)
However we like to redefine terms, I'm not sure if it gets us anywhere. It seems to me that this guy's not looking for a quickie commuter folder. He's looking for a conveniently packable long-distance tourer. The NWT seems to be made for that, "folding" or no, don't you think?
