X-factor
I have 3 folding bikes....including one Brompton. Other than the Brompton, they require moving and re-adjusting of both the handlebars as well as the seat in order to fold/unfold correctly which is exactly 50% MORE adjusting points than the Brompton requires to accomplish the same thing.
This bike is no different than my non-Brompton folders in that regard....and add-in a second hinge from a company with an already questionable reputation for their hinge-points.
In my opinion what separates the Brompton from nearly all other mainstream folders....it’s part of the “X-factor” in their design: that the handlebars require NO adjusting to fold or after unfolding.
