I wanna have a bike like that one above, almost exactly like that, but with 20-inch wheels for extra speed and to get past some more obstacles and take on rougher roads. Thicker, wider tyres, too. Otherwise this bike looks like enough bike for me (until I get a superfast road and an FS MTB, that is).

So you want a Moulton. Except for the thicker tires bit, since you won’t need those on a Moulton and they just slow you down anyway.

A Moulton? I got the impression he wanted something that a) folds and b) has working suspension.

20 inch wheels are tiny. How would they be good at obstacles?

They are slightly larger than the 18” wheels that come on the one he posted. :/

They make a take apart moulton.

Yeah, but that barely qualifies as a folding bike.

Well, is there anything else with 20” wheels and suspension that does fold?

edit: apparently this thing:

Car wheels are usually a lot smaller...

I’ve done some rough paths on a Brompton with 15” wheels.

There are various around. But while googling I got distracted by this thing:

My mtb has 26 inch wheels and that is the smallest size I see around here. Most people are going to 29 inch wheels or 27.5 inch. Of course I’m not talking about folding bikes... I have no clue about folding bikes.
