The problem with folding bikes are the hinges- they immediately introduce weakness into the frame design. This concept has about 6 hinges along the frame!
I like that designers are interested in bicycle design, ‘sustainability’ and ‘empowering design’, but the cynic in me thinks it’s all just a fad.
Seriously, there have been about 100 of this kind of designs in the past year or so.
As far as folding bikes go, I dont mind the look of this one too much. At least it looks more like a regular bike than the awkward looking ones with tiny wheels. But as above mentioned, there are a lot of hinges that would make one think about the strength of the bike.
