The problem with the Ori Bikes is that it's difficult to find a dealer outside of Taiwan.

One consideration about traveling with a folding bike is the durability of the components when folded. For example, I've traveled a few times on "speed" boats and small motor boats to get between islands, with the bike folded and loaded into the back, surrounded by luggage from other passengers. They're all tossed around by the waves, bumping into each other. Also, had the bike stowed in the cargo hold under buses and stuff is sliding around.

One issue I have with the Bike Fridays and the Ori Bikes is that the ends of the stays or forks are exposed when folded, which could be easily damaged by shifting luggage.
