yes but then you are spending 1.5 minutes at the station putting all the bits and separate pieces together. while if you where a brompton owner after 15 seconds you would be long gone down a few blocks while the backpack friday you are putting in the finishing touches on the pedal snap in. I would be very weary of using such an item in crowded subway areas like London and Singpore and even my city where you'll just be in the way laying all that out unless you are far from others.

but for the bike itself and not the fold it looks like a really nice and stiff ride, the main bar has no hinges and zero fold and the handlebar is one piece. So without a hinge in the middle of the main bar that already saves a few lbs of metal there automatically. It'll be hard to convince me to pick one up for daily use though because my mini bike is already light and i can fold it in 15 seconds and i'll be way down the street before I even start riding with this.

In the end though i would still be interested in seeing more info on this and the options they will have with this. looks interesting and kudos for them to keep pushing forward and innovate with new designs and not just stagnate with minor improvements on one product
