It's just... weight is the whole game. It's WAY more important in a folder than regular bikes because carrying weight is everything when multimodal commuting. You can't build a revolutionary lightweight titanium folder with bigger wheels..then it's not light! Now it's just another 24-inch-wheel folding bike that's going to be kind of a bear to carry unless you get the singlespeed. Which means you should just buy Linberl's mostly-steel BF PakiT and enjoy its "regular bike" ride.

Sorry, I just didn't expect this guy to get this far and miss the one target he HAD to hit. I don't get it.
