Had a brisk 5 miles last night and found it to be great fun. Managed 12 mph average which is only a couple of mph slower than I would have expected on my hybrid. Plenty of gears for a loop with a 3% climb. Learning points were more care needed to avoid potholes due to the wheel size and the need to be aware of the increased rate of response (you can really chuck it about).

So really happy with the bike, it's not a Brompton when it comes to folding and weight but it was only half the price. Thoroughly recommended.

Did you take the bike on a train or tube? If so was the fold enough or did you wish the weight/size was lower/smaller?
My c2w opens in November so my homework continues ....

Yep! I live out in leafy Bucks so trained in from Wendover to Marylebone, folds up plenty small enough to be able to sit in one of the seats designed for pushchair mothers. Could be lighter but easily able to carry over the footbridge at Wendover. Like I said above a Brimpton is small and lighter but 2 or 3 times the price and It spends less time folded than being ridden.
