Bikes: 2X dualdrive Mezzo folder,plus others

Reminds me of a carryme. Could be ace in many circumstances. Like the idea of a capsero. Do you have the weight.
I think dahon should look at the wheel axle bolts interlocking design

Found this by accident, when I followed a link to an electric bike forum. I think it's awesome(without the motor stuff). Kind of the idea I had in mind when building my mini-velos... This one tops out over 40mph
