I had an old Moulton F-frame with 16" wheels and a front rack mounted to the frame. This put the luggage at roughly the same height as in normal lowriders. I loved that rack! Bromtons also have the low, front mounted frame. Genius! Currently I have a folding bike with 20" wheels, that sadly did not come with frame mounts for a front rack. So I have fitted a small front rack to the fork, but it's still pretty good. With 20 lbs of groceries strapped on top I start to notice a slight change to the handling, but still not bad. If I mounted panniers on this rack they would be even lower and no doubt I would notice the weight even less..
