Well...I wonder just what that enclosed drivetrain is. I'd worry if it was merely a worm gear driving a sprocket.

The 'fold' is neat. Makes a nice, small package. Which means that one could carry it on a bus or a train and then ride the last couple of miles. But I wonder if that bit of riding can compensate for all of that carrying. It might be simpler to walk.

I don't want to sound negative. It's a neat little machine. But it's a niche product; suitable only for urban, bike friendly environments in good weather.

I love it, think it's gorgeous, very smooth!

But a little pricy.

It does make me want to investigate building a low powered electric folder. Something to throw in the trunk of the car.

Odd...

Belt drive single speed with the battery and controller in the frame and little front hub motor.
