If you need a folding bike on a budget, why don't you look at what Decathlon has on offer? Seriously, I do not think you will find anything better for the money. I survived the Paris strikes on an older Dahon folder, S survived equally well on her Decathlon folder. None of us had any mechanical issue during that time, so I cannot honestly say that the Dahon is better than the decathlon, even though I paid more!
