Folding bike for a tall person?

I'm 198cm and 100kg, with most of my height in my legs. All of the folding bikes I've looked at recommend a maximum height of 190cm.

Are there any options for me? I'd love to have a folding bike for short trips when I go to other cities. I'm in the UK.

I am 190cm and got a Brompton C-Line with Telescopic Seatpost. The seller recommended it for my size - i use 5 cm of it.

Another option for you: Bike Friday

They're made and customized to order (tall is no problem). They're also tough: one of their expedition models is designed for 150kg rider weight. I'm sure they can ship internationally.

If you look around, I'm sure you can find a custom builder in the UK too.
