Now, I have debated on a Brompton or a Tern or just a $169 Citizen folder.

How far have you commuted on the Brompton? The people at NYCE wheels indicate with a $1800 electric package distance is no problem.

Is the Brompton your romp to the corner store toy or do you commute daily 15 + miles one way on the folder? Every bike store owner I have discussed commuting with has turned up their nose in disdain and said the parts simply are not meant for long term abuse.

I would love one if it could hold its own simply because it is such a pain locking up and the anxiety of never knowing if the damn bike has been stolen. Some people will steal the hair out of your nose. It is feast or famine here. Pawn shops are booming.
