Just stumbled upon these bikes in Facebook Marketplace. Turns out there's a Toronto distributor selling them. Haven't looked into them too much but at a glance, they are a Brompton clone without the proprietary stuff. I see standard cassettes, derailleurs and shifters. Standard brakes, etc. And they're priced closer to what a bike like that should cost.

I was excited by the title of this post but I have seen these on Aliexpress. They didn't even bother to rebrand the litepro components. This company took them, marked them up, and is reselling them. It's the same as Amazon reselling aliexpress products for more money, but marginally better since it's a Canadian brand instead of Amazon. If you want one of these, there's no good reason to purchase here instead of aliexpress.

I suggest sticking with one of the many Canadian bicycle manufacturers instead.
