I hadn't heard of them before seeing your post. They look interesting, and the pricing is certainly reasonable. The 3-speed TST1403A is only $175, folds to 25" x 19" x 10", weighs about 26 pounds, and would easily fit in the baggage compartment of a 172.
I haven't been able to find any reviews, but at that price I'm tempted to order one. Even the most expensive model, the ZP2005UST (5-speed with rear shock suspension), is only US$195.

EDIT: Well, I just ordered one (TST1403A) from the zport website. I'll post a review after it gets here and I've had a chance to check the build quality and see how it rides.
