It's an usual brand (in the US). I've never heard of it.

If your folding bike folds in such a way that a wire won't work, I can understand that's a little different though.
Just don't have much experience with a wireless speedometer...
There is
analog wireless and
digital wireless. The "false stats" problem only really occurs with the analog ones. The digital ones work fine.
Wired computers have one battery and wireless computers have two. Having two batteries is more complicated but not by much. Wireless does give you the option of being able to move the display head to different locations easily.
Wireless seems much simpler to install if you are doing speed and cadence.
