Any advice?
The way I like to judge folding bikes is on "backpackability" where I do ( 100,000 / ( weight + depth ) ) which gives the highest score to the bike that has the lowest weight and the shortest distance off of your back when folded. The Hummingbird single-speed has the one of the highest scores in my spreadsheet of all the folding bikes on the market.
