Strengths: 8-speed: you will need it when you do hilly rides, and it will give you an ability to go faster too. My cycle computer's max recorded is 49km/h which I've never expected from a folding bike with 20" wheel. I bet you can do better with faster tires etc. Compactness: you can fit it into a trunk of your car without disassembly. You can fold this bike within 30 sec without tools. Nice web site with very active community. Company makes improvement each year.Weaknesses: Original tires are not so good for city rides where you expect many piece of grasses on the road. (i.e., you will get flat tires rather easily) You may want to have one with Kevlar to forget about fixing tires often. You will definitely stand out from others and it may give you a mixed feelings or weird reactions from others (It could be strength too, though).Bottom Line: Well priced very capable folding bike which can take you anywhere. And you can take it everywhere too! I've been stolen my bikes twice, so, able to take it into my office while I'm working gives me a piece of my mind. Rides are smooth and surprisingly comfortable. I mainly us this bike for commuting (10 km a day with a lot of hills) and it has been very reliable. A ring of plastic around front gear actually does a pretty good job on preventing my pants caught into the gear. You can fold this bike within 30 sec without tools which is very good when your friend gives you a ride to/from a bar etc :-).
