Anybody else has seen this yet?

How clean it would be for general cyclists like me! Would you consider adding 1-2 pounds more for the convenience of not having a chain?
Apparently, one of the folding bikes is available in the US after a few months...

I had a shaft driven bike for one of my kids. It definitely didn't seem as efficient as a chain (and it isn't) but the biggest problem was it broke after about 3 months. I couldn't get any parts to fix it and it was re-cycled so to speak. I did like the fact that it basically had no upkeep.
