The Dahons fold up quick but the end result is a little bigger than the Hummers folded, but you don't need to take the tire off.

The Dahons are a little lighter too and have better quality components in general. Which would other members recommend and why?

Dean,

I have a 1991 Montague M1000 BiFrame that I prefer to the current Montague models. I bought it new, and it has proven to be reliable and troublefree. It's true you have to remove the front wheel, but that is a five second task. Components are mid-range Shimano, so the quality is very good.
