Bikes: swift folder(alfine 8, marathon plus, crossrack, klickfix freepack)

dream folder - fast seperable, fold down

i'd like to see something like a moulton tsr8 but made to be separated on a frequently (daily) basis. and where each half of the bike folded down further, quickly (< 30 secs). the half with the front wheel folded down, would be small enough to strap to the back of a backpack. the other half maybe the size of a folded brompton (half the width) to be carried in one arm.

as a smaller guy, i just don't think there will ever be a folded bike that will be pleasant to carry/lift long distances. carrying an 11-14lb piece would be much more manageable.

plus having two pieces gives you a litle more flexibility when trying to fit in a cramped space. often, be able to pull out a few pieces of the swift have allowed me to fit it into trunks it might not have fit in.

does this sound appealing to anyone else?
