The range is huge. Folding bikes are a compromise between portability and rideability. The more emphasis in one area, the less in the other.
My Airnimal with an aluminum frame is a bit over 30 pounds, 24 inch wheels, the designers emphasized rideability over portability. Most of the components are the same as on full size bikes. But a folder that is designed to be easy to carry and store under a desk will be much lighter, especially if it was quite expensive.
A vintage Raleigh folding bike will be quite heavy.
