The XP Lite is exactly what I want, with NO GEARING (single speed baby).
You're going to LOVE it. Belt drive & street tires just make this PERFECT. Belt drive on a folding bike really makes a ton of sense. The way this bike folds, it's just not comfortable to do it from the non-drive side. But then? → chain grease on your arms and clothes.

When you get a discount code, order the comfort package. Or at least get the $25 'GREAN' seat from Amazon. (I think the seat + shock seatpost is worth $100. The shock is not super-effective like a Suntour NCX, but it makes a difference on those sharp bumps) That stock seat is really bad.

I see they put a BMX-style handlebar on it too; very nice. Are you going to ram the seat all the way down and set it up like a BMX, or raise it up and get decent torque from your legs? Do come and report back when it arrives.
