The fold is like a Dahon fold, totally different from the Brompton:



It seems to be a very small bike with a very short wheelbase and short reach made for Asiatic people, not meant for Europeans and Americans.

It's not against the rules to post/share a link to a product. The rules forbid a person without a paid subscription from selling their items in the forums, and prohibits constantly recommending items that they sell. This is where the problems start. Say I work for Tern, and I'm constantly recommending my website, and selling my bikes. That's prohibited.

I ordered through Aliexpress without any problems. Select a reputable vendor.

I own and ride a self-built FnHon Gust 16". It has a few quirks, but overall it is an excellent value and very competent performer. Not for tall or heavy riders, though.




1. Very good. Relative to price (<$200), excellent. Weight limit, though, is 90kg.












.
2. ISO349 maxes out at 37mm. ISO305, I reckon you can go up to maybe 58mm. The limiting factor will be lateral clearance at the fork. 50mm Schwalbe Big Apple fit fine with room to spare.
.

​​​​​Schwalbe Big Apple 50-305
