Ford Folding Bikes

Ford just announced two prototype folding bikes, one co-designed with Dahon. I'm not sure how practical they are...

The MoDe:Me e-bike – built with the help of bicycle manufacturer Dahon – is intended for urban commuters to keep moving in congested city traffic. It folds and stows easily, allowing commuters to park on the city outskirts, take the e-bike onto public transport and travel to the centre, then ride the e-bike to their destination
The MoDero e-bike – built by a Ford team – is intended for urban commercial use such as by couriers, electricians, and goods and delivery services. It is designed to stow safely into commercial vehicles such as Transit Connect, which can act as carrier and support vehicle, and be combined with more than one e-bike

That's not going to fit in my trunk or in an airplane overhead compartment. But cool for the intent.
