If you have to then you could, but I wouldn't recommend anything more than regular gravel paths, the 20" wheels are not very stable and react very quickly to getting knocked about on un-pathed roads, so you will need quick reactions to catch a front wheel slip. Also the folding handlebars locking latch does seem to loosen up with light use on smooth footpaths and roads so woodland trails will definitely mean regular tightening of the latch.
