The price is very preliminary. They may lower it to be competive with folders and similar bikes on the market.
If you disassembled the bike you could fit it into a case for travel. No worse from that standpoint than folders.
After all, it is being marketed as a travel bike.
Now if the price is lowered, it could be a contender and I expect dealers to offer a modest discount on it.
We'll have to see what the market it is in the event it is produced.
