Which of course makes the other brands good value second-hand! :D But you are right.

I use a Montague Paratrooper Pro on my commute from Hemel Hempstead to Uxbridge. I ride half a mile down to the bus stop then fold it and catch a bus down to Chesham. I lift the folded bike off the bus and then wait for the bus to Uxbridge. Then I lift it onto to the bus and on arrival in Uxbridge I ride the mile to work. I do this a few times a week. The rest of the week I either use my Ebike for the 16.5 mile ride each way to work or just use the bus without the folding bike.
