The EVO with 18" wheels a.k.a. "KS3" offers a meter development of 3,45 - 4,38 - 5,51m by using a kickback bottom bracket by Sturmey Archer.
The distance between the handlebar and the saddle is approximately 400 to 550 mm (Brompton ~ 640mm), while the wheel base is about ~ 895 mm (Brompton ~ 1045mm).
Undo the nut + bolt, and use a flat screwdriver to pry out the saddle carefully from the seat. Note that some saddles fit the Strida seat molding, while others don't ("The crucial factor whether a saddle fits on the molding or not is the distance of the saddle rails to the the lower edge of the saddle nose"
To lower the seat, loosen and remove the three nuts and open the molding. If you often share your Strida, get the Quick Release Seat molding.
Due to the upright position and the fact that the rider cannot stand on the pedals, a saddle should be very wide in the back.
Wide in the back, and long enough to move body further from handlebar?
The small clicks you hear while spinning the crank forward on the EVO is perfectly normal.
On the other hand, creaks and squeaks you hear while riding isn't. It often comes from the rear hinge, in which case:

As of July 2018, Innova offers anti-puncture tires in ETRTO 32-355. Schwalbe offers the slick Kojak tires, but stopped offering Marathon Plus anti-puncture tires.
You might try a Klickfix Caddy adapter or a Brompton luggage + jubilee clips/hose clamps, but it'd have to be pretty high up to avoid getting in the way when folding the bike.
