I don't like the idea of needing to lower the seat post to work as the foot. Unless seat adjustment is different, like some sort of stop.
Similarly, with my folding bike I tend to fold the handlebars down OR fold the frame but not both. Some of that is the design of mine, but really I only care about making it compact in 1 dimension.
Not great headline, though article itself does say 'in perspective'. My ebike was half that (years ago on sale, now no longer sold) but also almost double the weight (though also with gears, double capacity battery, 1-size-up wheels).

On my Priority Folder, the seatpost comes in two parts, and as long as you aren't too tall, you can use the second part of the post to raise the seat enough while still having a foot.
I want to add a seatpost caster to mine so I can roll it folded more easily, but overall I like the design.
I also tend to just fold my handlebars down when I'm at my office desk or when I bring the bike home (I leave it by the door). I only fold the frame when I need to put the bike in the car or something.
