The cool thing is that it rolls very handy behind you on both 26" big wheels when you have to go into the commuter train or into a building? .
and looks almost like a normal bike? when unfolded? He seems to be a MTB enthusiast so the seat/saddle is very low?
Would be cool to see how he has done it? Maybe a DIY project for those who are handy?
Video of it on the Gizmag site and on youtube too
