I regularly travel between California and Bangkok every few months and I'd like to find a versatile, strong and convenient folding bike that I can bring along.

I am looking for a multipurpose bike. Something that I can use to get around the city or go for a workout ride or something I can use load up to take a multi-day ride outside the city. But most importantly, something I can bring with me back and forth between San Francisco and Bangkok.

I've been researching for several weeks now. I considered the Montague Allston for a while but then I came across the Tern Joe and Tern Eclipse.

They both seem like great options but the eclipse seems like it's much more speed oriented while the Joe seems more on the beefy, rugged side. What considerations or compromises would be suggested?
