I removed the kickstand from my Mu Sport as I figured it to be useless for me. Plus the kickstand gets in the way of the handlepost when folded (inside fold with telescoping handlepost full down). When I put the bike anywhere, I also usually lock it on to something, so just lean it against that. In some hurried situation I rotate the pedal back in position against, e.g., a curb. Holds up as well as a kickstand. Otherwise I usually just put in in "fold stage 1", just fold it in half by a 180° fork rotation bringing handlebar and seat together, then it stands balanced on a pedal plus a wheel. This is neat and also serves partially as a theft insurance. Also this is the best fold to wheel the bike around. This fold stage just takes 1 sec. In the subway I usually quick fold it around a pole. "Fold stage 2" includes folding the handlepost and standard fold the bike in half (takes ~4 secs), then it stands as a tripod, again using one pedal as a stand (and the seat as a wheeling handle). This tripod is quite stable and also works in subways or trains (without a pole). I also use this when I enter a store, for example, to quickly buy something while putting the bike aside in a corner. You can slide in the seatpost as well (full fold) but this mostly is not needed.
