The Brompton max weight is 110kg.

The last I looked, the Bike Friday that folds as small as a Brompton had a lower max weight.

The higher load Bike Friday models only folded in half rather than thirds.

The other aspect of Bike Friday is that the buyer has to choose components. That’s fine for an existing enthusiast, but a dunning kuger for an average novice.



I don’t really see the point of the BF Pakit (the small one) compared to a Brompton. The bigger BFs are great bikes though - I have a New World Tourist as my daily driver. But if portability is your aim then Bromptons are unbeatable.
