Also, perhaps it makes sense for US folks as options for foldables are more limited as well as max weight concerns.
A CRIUS SMART is 7.6kg for the single sp and 8.6kg for the 3sp IGH.
Its fast to fold and easy to handle as its very light. (I have the 3.0)
Folded, it can be pushed around and it certainly can be carried in any bag if necessary esp if one adds removable pedals (eg. like the MKS ones)
To me, laziness is king.
More so in the tropical weather I'm in.
Stooped over to fix up the bike after a ride from home to the train station for example and I'd really not want to be sweating too much in the humidity and heat fixing up the BF.
You certainly have a wider selection in SE Asia. Makes me wish my uncle was still living in Malaysia--used to pop over via Singapore when I was living in Japan. Hadn't heard about the Crius--googled it and it looks like ThorUSA is taking pre-orders.
I agree with Linberl--the Pakit is slightly oranges to Crius' apples.
