Go for it! They are super affordable as far as folding bikes go, mainly because they have a bad reputation for ride quality. I think this is because a few of the key stock parts are not great. The stock saddle is a great example. In addition to weighing 10lbs, it has a bizarre, drunken-sailor way of swirling back and forth in a sea-sickness inducing motion that would put anyone off. It was the first thing to go when I brought my bike home.
