Shaft Drive, Airless tires & and an electric motor + battery packs that can't be wheeled around? Ugh.

Pretty though.

Interesting way to achieve a compact fold.

Unfortunately the rear hinge does not contribute suspension and therefore has to be very substantial.

Still, very clever.

Very distinctive design. A real visual attention getter.

Now to work out the operational details.
