the innovations are: proprietary parts
the problem is: propietary parts.

but, that's also true for Dahon and Tern. let's wish them the best of luck. never know what will happen. maybe the bike doesnt make it, but the moveable brake calipers or hubs become industry standard.. all sorts of possibilities. it's reassuring that individuals continue to innovate.
