Thanks for the detailed info on the Joey! I hadn’t realized that it’s not at all rollable when folded - I believe the 3 others in the thread title are, including the full-size Change (though it apparently takes some practice).

As far as packing for travel, when you say “small case”, are you referring to carry-on size? I think if the Joey can’t be easily packed into regular checked luggage and also isn’t rollable, that would be a significant disadvantage.

I agree that my husband should ideally be involved in the decision, but he hates spending money on himself (that’s why he hasn’t been able to bring himself to buy his own bike yet). I figure that if he doesn’t like the bike I choose, we can always return it and get another. He’s 180cm (5’11”) and normal weight, so hopefully all the bikes I’m considering would suit him.
