As I understood the OP he is not interested in those (and even less if they are not made from steel). That's why I recommended the Bernds: Steel frame, handmade from scratch in Germany.
The Airnimal Joey frame is made from Aluminium by Pacific Cycles in Asia (and for that reason not menioned by me) but one of the most robust frames I know of.

There are a couple of high quality folders made in Europe, most produced at smaller scale and unknown to people outside Europe or even their specific country of origin.

Probably depends from how you define "taller rider" - as the OP is almost 2m I do have very serious doubst (and we did not talk about weight yet - if someone of that size is not very slim this will rule out a lot of folders due to weight limit of the bikes).

Dahon and tern do use a lot specific parts and often even proprietary derailleurs. Dahon spare parts are impossible to get hold of. Both use front wheels of 74mm OLD and children's wheels are really not an option for someone of the size and possible weight of the OP let alone for a bike that serves as replacement for a car and must thus be robust.

It is nice of you trying to open more options - just be aware what the situation in Europe is regarding parts for Dahon (and partly Tern) as well as the size of the rider which is way beyond what most folding bikes were designed for.
