I took my Citizen Tokyo Folding Bike to CicLaVia in Los Angeles April 2014. We rode about 12 miles that day and the bike powered right through it. Glad I pumped the tires up to max PSI (45) because every little helps when you're riding on such small tires.

Just ordered one. I have a 12'6" kayak that deflates and folds up. I have a 12'6" Stand Up Board that deflates and folds up. Next I will have bike that folds up. I bet I can get it all in my Mini Cooper. ;)
Just an update. I decided not to install the 11-28t or 100 psi tires until I need to replace a tire. Might as well get as much mileage out of the stock setup as possible, right? I've put about 1,000 miles on the bike so far and still love it. People look at me funny because of the tiny 16" wheels, especially teenagers on their 26"+ bikes. I bet I can still go faster than them :) and I can't remember the last time I needed any other gear besides 6th. 1st-4th gears are basically worthless. I could walk faster than that lol is it normal to need to check the air every day? Seems I need to add a pump or two of air every day. I keep it at 50 psi which is 5 more than the tire recommends.
Lol! Awesome, my brother & I just ordered some 2 days ago! :)
I have a Tokyo too, but I'm always scared of pumping the tires up to 45 PSI! I've been using 35 PSI, but it makes me work too hard. Do you use a gas station pump?
I'm 3 inches shorter than you and am maxed out. Your knees would prob hit the handlebars because the seat wouldn't raise high enough. But you might be able to make it work. Hope this helps
Hi! I am thinking about buying citizen bike Tokyo or Miami. I prefer Tokyo because it is smaller. However, I am 6'1" tall. Do you think this bike is too small for me?
Cool man! I just got my Tokyo less than 2 months ago. Got 100 psi tires and a 7 speed Shimano 11-28t cassette waiting to be installed at the bike shop this weekend. Should transform the bike more to my liking!
