Bike shops that carry small folders like this are few and far between here so you can't really even try them first.
The reason why I mentioned the Brompton and Birdy are they fold small and fit most. They are expensive and that is a downside.
I never saw any shop selling Zizzo in Europe!
I don't think that this brand is selling bikes in Europe?
For the ETRTO305 folding bikes, you are right they have usually a very short frame that doesn't fit for most US and European cyclists.
