being an annoying skeptic, I would like to point out that both of those folders have more weight bearing pivot points than your average four-bar linkage sus mtb - IŽd say theyŽd be quite high maintenance which sort of goes against the purpose of their (proposed?) existance.
Unless, of course, they are held together by invisible force fields

Bikes now are pretty damn good. Public transportation systems aren't. Which do you want to change?
