Reviews for this folding bicycle were hard to find on-line (none to be found as of this writing). Specs of the bike were as expected from the Alton US website [...]. In case website disappears, this is what was spec'ed:
Frame: Alloy 6061 Frame
Front Fork: Aero Type Unicrown Fork
Shift Lever: Shimano ST-EF-51
Rear Derailleur: Shimano RD-TZ30
Cranks: ProWheel 152mm alloy sand black
Gear: Shimano 7-Speed, MF-TZ21
Rims: 20" Alloy Black Rim
Tires: 20" X 1.5, Black
Brakes: Sunrun V-Brake
Brake Lever: PROMAX BL-82AP
Saddle: Cionilli Design Saddle
Weight: 29.32 lbs (13.3 kg)
Decent components, entry level.
The seat post has a quick release clamp. With the seat adjusted at the maximum height, the total length from top of seat to the pedal at the lowest end measured about 26 inches (give or take 1-2 inches). The seat tube looks like a standard 1" X 12" pipe. If your leg travel is longer than 26 inches, peddling efficiency will not be as good. I'm 5'8", but my legs cannot fully extend while riding this bike.
The handlebar has a quick release clamp and is adjustable, but only up to 4 inches max. Swapping the handlebar for additional height may be possible, although I'm not sure if there are aftermarket parts to do this. It folds down to the front wheel by releasing the locking hinge near the headset.
No quick release for front and rear dropouts. The mount between the seatstays and chainstays is slotted for rear wheel installation.
The folding hinge has a spring loaded bolt from which to lock the top tube in place. A quick release clamping latch secures the bolt.
Comes with a kickstand attached at the end of the seatstays and chainstays.
Rims used presta valve type inner tubes, however, the valve stem hole looks large enough for a schrader valve inner tube.
The right side pedal folds (push in, flip up). Left side pedal is fixed. Not sure why one pedal would lack that fold feature.
Hope this helps for those who want to know more about this bike's features.

I bought this bike just to have a fun bike to ride around town. The product description states that the bike is compatible for a rider between 4'8" - 6'4" tall. My ht. is right in the middle of that range and I could not straighten out my legs and ride comfortably. I felt as though I was on a baby bike. I returned the bike and they were nice enough to refund my money. They stated that they were going to change the bike description, but they haven't. I would not recommend this bike to anyone over 5'4" tall. Other than that, it was about what you would expect for the price.
