Use a folder were it is build for. Imo it is for short distances from

for touring.

Yes, when I say "good for touring" for small-wheeled folders I mean
"usable for touring." They certainly don't ride like a full size touring
bicycle. I would definitely not go below 20" wheels. I would also
greatly prefer a triple chainring over an internal hub for touring.

The best, by far, 20" wheeled folding touring bicycle I've ever seen is
the Gaerlan GoTravel gt20, but I don't think he's still making them.

ride for long tours. All custom made, and at a very good price.
