I own a BF Tikit, a BF NWT and a Dahon D7. All of them are folding bikes since they all fold up. The Tikit is the easiest by far, the D7 next and the NWT last.
The NWT is the one that provides the highest quality ride and would be the one I would tour on.
Although they are all folding bikes I'd classify the Tikit and D7 as commuter bikes and the NWT as a travel/touring bike.
