Plus, it needs a set up once out of the box. The folding hinge on the frame was so tight once she unfolded it, she had to take it to the LBS to get it folded again.

After I saw it, and saw her problems with it, I definitely changed my mind about getting one. I went with the Dahon Curve D3--I got a 2007 model for about $350 with shipping. I'm very happy I spent the extra money.
Excellent, thank you for that bit of information. Finally a bit of a hands on review to have something to work with.
