Perhaps if these catch on, our cities will be overrun with swarms of locusts.Let us hope they are not popular in rural areas where they could devour all the crops ,or maybe their riders will.

If I worked for Dahon I'd be on the phone right now with a blank cheque...
I especially like the way the smaller front wheel fits inside the larger rear (which has off-centre spoking). Really nice thinking-out-of-box ness to get an über flat fold. Drivetrain needs some work but it flies as a concept for me...

Whoa... talk about a new frame geometry--I can't imagine what that would feel like to ride! What is the frame material supposed to be?
Sounds like a hassle disconnecting the drivetrain every time you wanted to fold it.

With a one inch pedal ground clearance it wouldn't go around corners while pedalling. And the drive is toothed on the outside to engage with rear pulley, but smooth on the inside and running on smooth rollers, must be coated with sand paper! Hold that cheque Mr Dahon!!!
