Foldable bicycle
The most important attribute of a foldable bicycle is its weight because people use foldable bicycles for convenience and the ease of carrying it.
Any foldable bicycles heavier than 15kg are not desirable.
A foldable bicycle should weigh no more than 12kg. For example, Xpec's 7-speed foldable bike with 20" wheel weighs 16 kg. It is too heavy.
Zizzo's Liberté Plus weighs only 10kg. It is an excellent choice.
