Specs
Pros
Pro Perfect as a traveling/touring bike
The Pocket Llama has a sturdy frame (standard frame is for riders up to 230 lbs, but a Diamond Llama frame is available for riders up to 330 lbs), a 24-speed gear shifter, and wide (2.1'') tires, making it very comfortable for riding on trails or gravel roads. It easily folds into a 32'' x 24'' x 12''-sized package and can be broken down further to fit a 29.5'' x 20'' x 12''-sized hard case for air travel without paying the extra cost of special baggage.
Cons
Con Takes a long time to disassemble for travel
This bike can be quickly folded down for storage or commutes on public transportation, but breaking it down to fit in its air travel hard case (or assemble it back again) can take between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on your experience. It also requires some tools.
