:shock: Clever !

It not only looks good, it also seems pretty strong !
Me thinks he's developped himself a winner here...

WOW! I've got a couple of folders, but that's the coolest one so far, folded or unfolded.

Holey two wheeler Batman! That looks better than my folder and still rolls when done.
Bet it would take a big sack of quarters to buy that one.

Still a prototype according to the website, no brakes either. Really cool concept if he could get either a shaft drive or belt drive to work with it.

I saw this vid a few weeks ago. With all that complex frame fold I saw a chain that would mess it all up. If there was a clever way to fold that without messing with the chain............then he'd have something, I'd buy one. Till then we may be able to buy one as seen on TV. Just saying.......my 2 cents worth.

To tell you the truth: I was so caught up with watching the folding mechanisms, I completely missed the lack of chain. :mrgreen:

This one however seems to have cracked it: http://ridethisbike.com/products/P-Cycl ... g-bike.htm

Now if you all buy one, the price should be able to go down :lol:

I don't think it will go far down enough to suit me. :roll:

 

[Graylock]

Pricey for sure. So far I like this design over the chainless one. Still it doesn't fold as small. This one folds from the bottom bracket and has a single chain stay on one side while the single fork lies on the opposite side when folded. Folds some fast. Cool.
