I had a friend who had one and liked it. I think his main gripe was
that it didn't fold into a very "friendly" package for a crowded
commuter tram. As I recall, the chain rings stuck out and were easily
bumped by fellow commuters, a propensity which did not endear him to
others on the train. Also, they're not exactly easy to fold... I
suppose that one's definition of "easy" is relative. He had a
zippered shoulder bag made for it and it took him a good five minutes
to get it completely folded and stowed. There are various levels to
which it can be folded, some more time consuming than others.
He also went to a heavier front rim or, perhaps, tire. He said that
the light wheel made it somewhat skittish for city riding. When he
got a tad bit more rotating mass, it handled better in traffic, or so
he said.
All of which is second hand information, so take it with a grain of
salt.
