We bought it for me for physical therapy after my first bilateral knee replacement. It lived in one of the aft cabins underway, a real effort to stow without scratching varnish or paint. It was not a folder. Even with a large RIB, it was a nuisance in the dinghy, and had to have a raincoat if we didn't want to squeeze it below decks, and we tried to work with it because I wanted bike time. I found that my balance was no longer infallible, and of course, one is told to not fall after such surgery, and I did, a few times, but mainly it was because of the hassle of getting it to somewhere I felt safe riding , into the RIB and back onto the boat, it did not work out for me.
