Maybe they will do other wheel sizes later.
A wider tire would mean big changes because the wheels fold within the cranks.
The Q factor would have to increase. That would be an awkward thing.
I was wondering how they'd control the swingarm fold.
Now I know. And it's good that the stop is adjustable.
Beautiful bike...but with an odd looking seatpost top.

Any mounting bosses for bottle cages, fenders, or racks?
