The gearing on the Gunmetal Grey EEZZ's in the USA is very capable. My wife and I have done some mini weekend rides together and she was doing the hills and flats with aplomb.
The difference in the fold of the EEZZ and the Qix is that the EEZZ has a telescoping seatpost which in turn engages the hinging chainstay and drop bar frame aspects of the EEZZ. In the Qix it is a single seatpost that does drop, but no further.
The EEZZ really gets small because of the seatpost / hinge aspect. Smaller wheels too of course.
The Qix has the value of being able to easily roll while folded.
Both bikes have fast and competent folds to be sure. EEZZ (and single speed Jifo) in stock now. Current pricing is really nice on them also.
