I bought a Liberte from Costco in January. I'm satisfied with my purchase. It is my first folder and I've enjoyed the riding I've done on it - about 500 miles so far. I've made several modifications to mainly achieve the ergos and gearing that I wanted. As received, the front and rear hub bearing cones were a little over-tightened. I inspected them to make sure there was adequate grease (there was) and adjusted the cones to give a smoother rotation. They probably would have loosened up a bit with use. Once I'm allowed, I'll post pics and list the mods I've made. I think the Zizzo is a good buy and I'd make the same decision again.
