XLR99 they don't fold very compactly. Here are the dimensions on one of mine folded. 46"x34"x16" You could get the 46" dimension down to around 39" by loosening the handle bar bolt and rotating them downwards. Another factor that will affect the folded size is the year of the bike, they used at least 4 different types of handlebars that I am aware of, and some will fold down smaller than others. I use the fold on mine primarily to stuff it in my pickup or keep in a corner of my motel room when I work out of town. Here is the only picture I have of mine folded at the moment. Notice how far out the handle bars project. If you are going to be using in a pickup or car trunk the Twenty is a good choice, if you need a fold for multi modal like a bus or train there are much better choices out there.
