Here are some photos I received of an older model Kent folding bike. The owner removed the carry rack and replaced the stock saddle with a banana seat.

The stock riding position on this bike was a problem because the pedals were almost under the seat so I bet the banana seat made the bike quite comfortable.

As shown in this photo, the bike can still be folded in half but the banana seat does make the folded size much larger.

By the way, this bike was for sale on Craigslist for $150. If you're interested and live in Brooklyn, NY, here's the url for the ad (if you can't pull up the ad, the bike's been sold):
