I also sail, so I've been aware of folding bikes like the Dahon Mariner for many years, and I've looked at folding bikes for many years as well I purchased the Zizzo Forte in black, in Mar 2022 - green looks better IMO, but was sold out. It comes FULLY assembled, so don't fall for the expert assembly charge. I think everybody should keep a folding bike in their car just in case you ever need to abandon your vehicle. Didn't anybody else watch the walking dead? Things you might want to know as a prospective buyer - the fenders are plastic, but look good. The rear rack is very sturdy. The seat and handlebar grips are very comfy for a hard-tail. I may add a seat spring later - thinking about it. It is pre-drilled and tapped w/screws included for a bottle holder. Tires are marked Kenda Nylon (50-406) 20x1.95 directional 65 psi max. They are more of an entry level/street tire and not very puncture resistant, more on that in a bit. There were a couple things I found needed addressing out of the box. The seat clamp was too loose to hold up the seat with weight, and the metal plate that connects to the magnet when the bike is folded, had come loose during shipment also. These were easily addressed. I will be fiddling with the brake adjustments a bit as I think they are both slightly dragging as well. Shifting was perfect, although I think the derailleur is the lowest-end Shimano Tourney available? I filled both inner tubes with 4 oz. of slime puncture sealant before airing them up, and took it for its maiden trip of 6 miles. 5 miles into the ride, I must have run over some broken glass, and had a rear blowout. Can't really blame the manufacturer for a flat. Not to get on a tangent, but is the big joke with Slime that now you not only have a flat tire, but you've also been thoroughly green-slimed as well? That stuff sprays everywhere when the wheel is spinning during a blowout. Has anybody actually ever had it work and stop a puncture lol? I opted to walk the bike home that last mile - mainly because of the mess and the fact I had not installed a paper-towel-holder on the bike. I feel bad about the sidewalk - it looked like a crime scene. So early into my forte ownership, I also learned the process of rear wheel removal, and inner tube replacement. It was very easy with one exception, if you are expecting the included 15mm wrench to be capable of removing any of the axle nuts, you will find that it just bends in a most frustrating manner. So the roadside repair would have been impossible anyway as I was relying on it. Get yourself a six point 15mm wrench or socket for the axles if you'll be changing tubes on the side of the road. Slime also sells heavy duty 20" pre-slimed tubes. Seriously, is slime worth it? lol I've added a bar-end mirror, led lights, derailleur guard and a bell so far. I also purchased mountain bike tires to eventually put on it - I like riding a lot of dirt roads so they make more sense. Hopefully they'll also be more puncture resistant? Lastly, when I had it folded up and wheeling it through the airport, a guy ran up to me and asked if it was a bicycle and where were the handlebars lol? He followed me outside and watched me unfold it and ride away, saying he never saw anything like it and what a gem!
