I test rode a folding Brompton e-bike in London and am tempted. I heard they are working on a version with slightly larger wheels which would be great, but no word on launch date - could be a while.

They're useful on the train (my commute's train didn't allow nonfolding bikes, since the line heads to/from London which makes it crowded). I previously left my acoustic bike locked at the station all day; but wouldn't dare with an ebike, so I got a folder.

“Acoustic bike” as opposed to e-bike… I’ll steal that!

I took it from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36748080 but have seen it used occasionally elsewhere (e.g. Reddit's r/fuckcars )

You get what you pay for in foldable e-bikes
