Bickertons are infamously flexy, so that's something to be aware of if you're big or like to push along. They do have their enthusiasts, but TBH unless you desperately need the storage space I'd give it a miss as an actual utility bike - something like a Shopper will be much nicer to ride.

Thanks for your feedback!
What do you mean by "push along"?
I'm not big but will be loaded with big / heavy backpack a lot of times I'd use the bike (one of the reasons why looking for an alternative to the race bike, it's so annoying to ride through traffic on that in drudge mode, would really prefer a comfy solid bike with an upright seating position).Storage space isn't the #1 concearn, but space (and also weight) is an issue as I will have to schlepp this down and up from 4th floor regularly.

Has somebody on here experience with these Bickerton folding bikes?
There's one for sale in my neighbourhood and I'm thinking about it..
It should serve as a means of transportation for short distances from now to next spring
(do not want to use my main (road-) bike through all of the Berlin winter).
I see they go for around 40 on UK eBay (though I'm a bit confused, there's quite a lot of different models / versions) - anybody got an idea what would be a fair price for this one in the picture above?
Also anything important to check when taking a look at the bike?
Thanks in advance!
Ps: Look at those cables..
