Horizontally folding bikes have existed probably since the fifties or possibly a lot earlier. Huge number of examples out there from the Raleigh Stowaway to NSU. How about this dutch bike.
They're mimicking the design of the frame, including the folding handlepost. Most knockoffs look like the straight steel or aluminum arc Dahons.
