You've ignored my point that weight alone does not determine how easy or difficult it is to carry or maneuver a folding bike while on foot. The size/shape/weight distribution/method of carrying while folded are not to be overlooked.
Simple experiment: try holding a gallon of milk in two hands with your arms outstretched. Now bring it closer to your body.
I'll wager that a Mobiky despite its 30 pounds is a lot easier to maneuver in a subway or on an escalator than my relatively light Swift or a folded Dahon Mu.
