Pretty neat. Best bit is the way that it obediently stands on one
pedal until you are ready to pick it up and go.

It's apparently made of helium!

The way the wheels fold into the frame space is a good idea, if you can
get used to the weird frame shape.

S'nuffin, I just bought my daughter her first MTB, which seems to have
been styled by Louis Vuitton (top bike though, compred to most kid's
BSO on offer):

A quick google search comes up with a number of articles on websites, but

(a) all are illustrated with the same two illustrations which appear to
be 'photo-realistic' CAD renderings; and
(b) no-one claims to have ridden - or even seen - one.

I suspect that this is a design exercise and there is no physical
prototype. However, it is neat, and it does look as if it would be
rideable.

That's what our daughters had too although they've long since grown out
of them and we've sold them (the bikes that is) on to other pleased
owners. Now I think they are after Brommies to add to Mum & Dad's two.

.... but all CAD as you say. I like the drive solution.
