Hmmm, I have some, limited experience in these matters...............

I own a DiBlasi.................

Folding Motorbike! Bought in Saint Tropez in the 80s, I was arrested for smuggling it through London Gatwick Airport (pre EU, I had paid tax in France & used it for 7 months)
According to the Customs officials I was the 1st person in history to try to smuggle a motor vehicle through an airport!

The stainless steel version of the bicycle is ideal for use on your yacht BTW!

The trike version is ingenius & folds quickly to a fraction of it's normal size.

So DiBlasi gets my vote.

Big Fish :-

We took one to Spezi, and although everyone tried it, no-one liked to ride it, the components are too cheap & heavy.

Sue from Velovision rode it the 6 miles from our Bus to the show on the 1st day, she found it very hard going over the mixed road & forest tracks.

There were no takers for it on the Sunday and it was left in the Bus.

Pics to follow.......
