Oops! Almost bought another folder!
We stopped in an Italian motorway stop and they had a small wheel folder for sale @ 130 Euros (about £90) I had my credit card out, but the guy walked away, then I thought, 'Humm, must be cheaper somewhere off the motorway'
Phew! Glad I didn't act hastily now, because..................
Smartbike
Now that's cheap

I simply can not imagine why you want a bike with 8 inch solid wheels .14 inches would be as small as i would go.

The same reason as the miniature tandem, it is small enough to fit into a nook or cranny on my bus, & would be another mad vehicle for the bands & their crews to have a loon about on! My kids would like to play with it too.

Better buy a skateboard !
That's not a bike, I bet you don't even keep up cycling on it for 10 minutes.
And how fast can it go with those silly wheels?
