A previous thread from mid November discussed Dahon's patent application of Brompton style 2-fold bikes. See attached:

Now see the 3 pics of the "Walkmate" Chinese folder from 2005 that looks quite similar. I am also unable to find any recent reference that this bike producer is still active as the website has lapsed.

This text could be too old then or are they having trouble with their site or are out of biz?

Love that chain 'tensioner' sort of simple / crude / effective ! but why the removeable stem ?

Man ... I am always amazed what people find in cyberspace. Nice find guys/gals.

As always, looks interesting. But I never heard of anyone actually riding one yet.
