Depending on these two criteria,you might want to consider a regular bike with couplers that allow it to be disassembled.
Speed of disassembly I don't really think is an issue, I will probably only be folding it infrequently, but I am looking for it to be compact, so am looking for a smaller wheeled bike for this bike of mine. For the next year and half, I am looking at trying to squeeze it into the back of one of our ambulances when we change locations here in Ukraine, and they are already pretty full with our medical, military, and personal gear. And, if I purchase it in England, I will need to fly with it to Poland, and take it on the train or bus from Warsaw to Lviv or Kyiv, so I need something that can become pretty compact. Smaller than a 26", 650B, or 700C wheeled bike.
I am hovering around 250 pounds these days, 6' 2" and shrinking. Broad shouldered too, so I usually run rather wide handlebars.
THANK YOU!
