It's definitely weird to ride -- I would ride it on a commute of more than a few miles. It's less stable than a real bike, but not completely unstable. e.g. I can fall of curbs but can't jump up them.
Most body parts are specialty, not the brakes system, I believe.
It meets its design goals very well:
- Internal brake cables and quick release mean it folds very fast and doesn't get tangled up.
- It can be rolled around when folded so you don't have to lug it.
- It stands tall and thin so only takes the space of a small standing passenger on transit.
