Good value for money
Folding bike very well packaged, received assembled, good quality product, three speeds integrated into the hubs, light, ideal for transport on a sailboat.

OK for the price
I ordered the bike from the special offer. OK for the price. Quality looks good, but it remains to be seen how long it will last.
It's a bit bigger than expected, but it makes for a more comfortable ride. Can be easily stowed in the basket.
The saddle is too narrow and too hard, as is common these days. It really does need to be replaced.
The rim brake at the front is OK, but it always rubs at the seam of the rim. Unfortunately, that's also common these days.
The rear brake is OK when you're coasting, but the freewheel area is very small, so you have to be careful not to brake immediately when rolling. But you can get used to it.
It was important to me that it didn't have a derailleur. The 3-speed is OK.
The distance between the handlebars and the saddle is a bit wide.
The chain has an anti-corrosive coating, very nice, hopefully it will last a long time.

Easy to fold and unfold
Easy to fold and unfold. In folded state considerably larger and heavier than a Brompton but seems to be of reasonable quality for the price. Have not tried it on the road yet.

First assembly a little complicated and speed
Upon receipt, the handlebar controls are not positioned correctly. In use, the coaster brake is really not practical, because you cannot position the pedal to start. The folding of the frame is equipped with a safety lock (this is not explained anywhere. Finally, the gear ratio is a bit heavy, impossible to cross a hill if you are not very muscular (even in first gear). speed.) Otherwise the aluminum frame and construction looks good to me.
