Anfänger Beratung bitte. Faltbar/Klapprad. Up E-bike oder Trike/Liegerad?

Someone's got to do it of course and the Bromptonistas are oh so happy about their tiny wheels and all but I just don't get it.
Why isn't every bike traveller aged 35+ riding recumbents or trike?

At least get a trailer instead of bouncing around with 10kg on the front bar in 196 countries Hansi.
To advice someone who has 40 years of experience as someone who has zero experience does sound "a bit" unadequate to me... Just because you don't get it this does not mean that everyone apart from you is mad... As far as I understand it you currently have neither experience with folding bikes nor with trailers nor with recumbents or trikes. And it seems as well not so much with generic patterns of what's important if you ride a bike intensively. Not so sure if that is really a good starting point to advice and judge on others... Your not understanding may simply be the result of your level of know how, not of a higher level of cleverness. I.e.: If you ever would have traveled with public transport and bike combined away from the most major routes you would easily understand why one might use a Brompton for that. If you ever travelled with a Brompton you would easily understand why people use the front luggage option on it and clearly why they prefer it over a trailer in most cases - you probably would understand that part if you had experience in travelling with a trailer. Stop judging, start learning.
 
Das Modell hat sehr gerne recht schnell Probleme am Rahmengelenk mit Totalschaden als Folge.

learning a lot every day and do understand why you react like that to my casual comment

which wasn't a judgment at all but I do understand why it could be read as such

and perhaps better as a topic for another post another time, pardon me
