Is the frame steel or aluminium? I would guess steel judging by the thinness of the hinge plate. It's nice that the bike has tabs for mounting racks. Are you going to use the bike as a commuter or light tourer?
The whole experience feels a bit odd. I just worked out how to unfold it and rushed out to try it out. I've still got to find the best riding position. I think I'll use it as a pootling around bike. Can it really be used as a tourer? I can't imagine riding it for long distances.

I think it is steel.
