This has been making the rounds of the net. Currently a prototype, planned for possible production in the next 1-2 years. No one else submitted it, so I thought I'd throw it in.

Nice! It looks pretty wacky too, which I love!

I've been considering coverting a folder into an eBike.

I was considering a Giant Halfway (http://www.giant-bicycles.com/cn/030.000.000/030.000.000.asp?range=236) but since it's a "single sided" bike, I wouldn't be able to attach a hub motor to that thing.

What I'd really love to do is get a fairly light and compact folder and attach the Bionx (http://www.bionx.ca) system to it. It would probably end up looking like this:
