I find it a pity for a lightweight fast bike as the Pakit to use such a poor gearing.
I do not like to have to dismount the possibly dirty front wheel to have a compact fold of the bike. I prefer by far, the folding of the Brompton.
Ah, I see on the IGH. I'm not a fan. As to pakiT folding, I never take off the front wheel. Not necessary at all to fold and store or roll.
