hi Marlon,
to make the Abike 5cm shorter, you'd need to take off the steering handle, or both wheels.
this would take you some time, effort and tools.
depending on the width of your suitcase, there maybe an easier solution:
if you put the Abike in
diagonally, you can get it in if your suitcase is 57cm wide:
(you can try putting the Abike on it's other side to see if it makes a difference)

if your case is 50cm wide, you can get it in by taking out the front wheel (which is relatively easy, just one bolt to undo. collect all the rings and spacers!)
and watch out for
if your case is 41cm wide, you'll have to take the front wheel out, and undo the two Allen bolts/ hexagonal bolts to loosen the front brake (the green coloured arc).
(this front brake is otherwise easily damaged during transport!)

hope this helps.
