Okay, I see now. The front wheel is disengaged from its fork in order to pivot it rearward but it is still connected to the bike, not fully removed. This makes for a slightly more complicated (longer?) folding sequence than that demonstrated by the Tikit but results in a more compact package than many folders (except for the Brompton according to one post.) The Mezzo doesn't appear to be designed to roll along when folded like the Tikit. I find the rolling feature in my Strida to be convenient though this may not be important for those who don't plan on carrying their folder more than a few minutes and would opt instead for a light, compact package.
