Your screenshot image is postage stamp-sized on my monitor and goes to a blurry blob when zoomed.

The Burke 20 titanium folding bike follows the Andrew Ritche pattern and has been around for a while.

Still looking for a picture on this thread of an Andrew Ritchie pattern folder (aka Brompton knockoff) with 20" wheels (other than the USA-built Burke).

Here you go:
Very Big Edition
Bromptosaurus (Rex), genannt: Rostinante

They are however no knockoffs but both custom made to order and based on original Brompton frames that got extended. I've ridden both of them - a very grown-up ride, mainly due to the long wheel base. Both ride very different from a normal Brompton. They are slightly different - the rust one is the younger of the two and was made just a couple of month ago, the black one has been made two years ago. The rust one has a slightly shorter wheelbase than the black one but still very long. So a 20" Brompton is possible but the making was quite a job - countless hours went into them - so these are pretty expensive bikes.

Bromptosaurus does look like the BB is going to be 2" higher.. bumping from 16 to a 20" wheel ..

Ending the putting a foot down at stop signs, without getting off the saddle ,

which is a habit I had to develop with my Bike Friday pocket Llama,

which I also must put a foot on the raised curb to stop without shifting off the saddle to put a foot down..

(Now BiFri has redesigned their 20" wheel frames to both be lower BB ..)

There is also an opposite bike by the same maker, a Brompton modified for persons of short stature. It is called Bromptolino and the modification is reversible:

20" Brompton sounds interesting - this must have been discussed before, but I'm too green of a Brompton/folding bike owner.
