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!

250lbs isn't a "Clyde" ...
Have you considered the beefy, crazy expensive Brompton G series? It's definitely compact, for a 20" wheeled folder. It would be much easier to store in the vehicle. It would probably be less expensive for you to purchase in the UK, and I believe you being a first responder might warrant a discount.
Stay safe over there!!!
