Sorry,2 pounds. Checked my chart,and according to my digital fish scale my S6L weighs 25lbs 13oz,and the Flyby weighed 27lbs 14oz. The Bommie is a 6sp,all steel,fenders/minipump,with Kojak tires. The rear wheel of the Flyby,w/o tire weighed 5lbs 6oz on its own.

as somebody else here demonstrates .... doesnt seem to be all that difficult to me....
Interesting. Never thought to try that. However,the Brommie still rolls much easier;you just slide it around or pull it by the handlebar behind you like rolling luggage. The vid shows you having to balance the Dahon like a handtruck.
