It says "Safety disc brakes", that usually means b@stard size offset 15mm. EDIT: GAH! Yep, video says they're offset. And usually the factory cable calipers are junk.
What would they not do that you would reasonably want them to do in a $900 bike?

Replace to smaller chainring?
Geez, sometimes I feel like you look at every new folding option with the intent to pick it apart, so you don't have to buy it.
For my part, the Deltech cable is super-ugly, but maybe I could overlook that, since it is 1/4 the price of a G Line and probably rolls more efficiently too...
It's got the chunky tires, disc brakes and seemingly rugged build.
To add to John's original thoughts, it might also be a Bike Friday Diamond Llama alternative.
