Very cool design.
It would probably be very heavy in its current state.
If it could be shrunk down to 20" tires then it would be way cool.

Cool bikes often lack the drivetrain, which is one of the most difficult aspects to design in a folding bike. So cool, but incomplete.

Nice fold idea but the wheels are too big and it appears to lack saddle height adjustability. In the photo the handlebars are too high in relation to the saddle for my tastes.

Sorry seen this before.
Its not ridable. The video on youtube shows it folding using cut frames.
Its not a great achivement to build a wheeled thing that has no drivechain, brakes or gears
Its also very wide when folded.
Nice concept but not really a "bike"
