World's smallest-folding bike?

I thought you guys might enjoy this. I just did a search for "Kwiggle" on the forum and didn't see anything, so hopefully it's not a repost.

Brakes?
Also,that's a lot of stress to put on the stem,as in,single point of failure.

It's a prototype:
This one has 8" wheels, just like the A-bike... which I returned because it's just too unstable.
That’s for the single-speed prototype Bettin has on show at Eurobike, but he is working on a model that would have two to six gears and produce 7.5 m (24 ft) of development for each pedal rotation.

It does look well made, and I suspect it will fit in the overhead bin on an airplane. But it doesn't look like a very nice ride. Maybe for getting around the airport??

Don't fancy the kwiggle at all. I would sooner use a scooter. Else I would leave it along way behind me on somy carbon speedskate rollerblades!
