If you replicate spindle-to-saddle of other bikes, then the saddle itself will end up lower to the ground. You would also have to be more careful about crank arms or pedals hitting the ground if you pedal through a turn, assuming you use the same crank arm length as on normal bikes.
This is basically what I would expect. I'll also note that folders generally have smaller cranks than full size bikes, so this will affect things as well.
