Did I say weight? Mobiky is 30+ lbs, but that's what I get for a bike with a jackshaft and IGH that can fit in an umbrella stand and has an even funnier fold than the Bromie.
I have 2 26" foldies and ,to be honest, I am not sure why, I can take the front wheel off a 26" MTB and get it most of the places the Montague or Matrix goes.

I think all foldups/mini-velos are created for 5'4" people.
