But they have normal size wheelbases, my Moulton even has a wheelbase larger than the majority of bikes with over-sized wheels. Likewise my Swift has a wheelbase longer than most road bikes. By using that term, you perpetuate the myth that folders are toys, kids bikes, small bikes. Some folders especially some Chinese offerings are really small, I concede. but they are not the norm.
