commute to work 6.6 miles in 40 minutes, is this ok?

Hi everyone,

Glad to find a forum dedicated to folders. I just have started cycling to work since last week. My journey is first cycle to a tram station (3 minutes), take a tram to a train station (10 minutes), take a train (15 minutes) then cycle to office (40 minutes), I ride a Decathlon b fold 7 (20 inch wheels, 7 speed). It takes around 40 minutes for 6.6 miles one way. Mostly flat, many traffic lights (London zone 3 to zone 1). My bike is kind of cheap compared to the big brands, so just wondering whether the expensive ones can perform better? I do got overtaken by most big bikes but often can catch them at the red lights
