Don't fold it with your fist!

One thing you should plan for is being able to adjust the various latches as needed. Folding bikes (based on my experience with Dahons and Terns) require a bit of "fiddling" from time to time. Riding the bike with a loose frame latch can damage the frame. This should not be a problem or a deterrent for a rider of any size or gender.
