Speaking for myself - my comments are founded on owning a Dahon and a couple Tikits as well as using Bromptons on multiple occasions. I've tried rolling the Dahon using the seatpost and the bars both of which are not remotely as easy as rolling a Tikit using the handle provided. Folding is not in the same league, neither is construction, design, handling while riding or fit for a larger rider.

If my Dahon was comparable to the Tikit I wouldn't be a Tikit owner.
