So, if you're somewhere in between extremely easy totability and ride-quality...

The least cumbersome to tote around on foot are the Mobiky, the Strida, and the Carry-Me, but you sacrifice gear range for that easy toting, and there are few upgrade components and accessories to choose from because of their highly proprietary designs. The Brompton and the Dahon Curve SL are somewhat more difficult to tote around on foot than these three, but offer a broader gear-range and a wider range of upgrades and accessories.
