I thought for the money it was interesting and looked familiar.

It doesn't fold, has a short wheel base, looks odd as most folders do...hmmnn..I don't see any good points, really.

The handlepost *does* fold, and from the position of the rear pivot point it seems to be foldable. Just unbolt the suspension strut.

Well actually I DO see several good points in a design like this. Most people wanting a compact bike that can still fit inside the trunk of their small car or have limited space at home don't really need for a bike to fold completely. A non folding frame reduces weight, complexity, cost, and makes for a stiffer, stronger frame. Look at me, I never fold my bike anymore. I store it in the house just like a full size non folding bike.
This bike falls under the catagory of "mini velos", though it is a relative to folders.
