Best folding pedals

Hey all, I'm looking to get a set for my Dahon folder. I currently have the MKS EZY pedals. A good pedal to be sure but I think I would prefer folders over these detachable..decent tho they are its small extra to keep an eye on.

I wonder if any of you seasoned user have suggestions as to a sweet dependable- well performing- grippy set?

The Brompton pedal uses one big sealed bearing, with a solid plug that goes thru
the bearing
to thread into the crank arm, they fold very flat and protrude little , pretty much the width
of the bearing.
on the Brommy, it only needs a left one, but you can buy a second
plug threaded to go in the opposite crank arm , and fit 2 pedals on that way ..

SJS stocks the parts, in UK, and can ship a pair to you. [worldwide]
steel core, and big sealed bearing don't make it a lightweight.
but, having 2 will at least weigh equally..

Thanks for the assist gentlemen, I like what I see with the brompton pedal.

Search on here is a bit wanting. Searching was the first thing I did and did not fare so well, had such a barrage of threads many with mulitple pages that it was a hinderance and not a help. Always a work in progress I suppose else my boolean needs a freshen up..

Appears they are still wider on the bike when folded , than Brompton's.
I measure at 2cm, and flat.
True, MKS , cost less. and for a HK resident , probably A Lot less.

the 2 separate bearing races need to have some distance between them.
