I am tempted.

Made of specially hardened but flexible steel. Advertises with being made of the toughest and longest-lasting components and manufacturing standards of all globally produced bikes. Weight 8.5-11 kg.

^ The inventor. Produced in Hannover, Germany, you must buy directly from him, that keeps the price low.

That thing can become FAST, over 30 km/h, with a steppinf requency and reistence comarbale to am ordinary bike. The brakes have been designed to trade distance for risk management, the braking distance is still within legal limits, but the brakes are limited so that you cannot fall frontally if braking top hard - cannot brake "too hard". Hill down they have exceeded speeds of 60 km/h. Normal everyday routine speeds are 20-25, with not more or less effort than on a normal bike, they say.

Price varies according to version: 1370 - 2050 Euros.

Smallest city solution I have seen so far, smaller even than Bromptons. It uses Schwalbe balloon tyres. They offer th choice for Rucksacks for it, 0, 3 and 6 speed gearboxes, wheel proteciton or not, luggage rack or not, trailer or not.

In production since several years already. E-bike version in development (whether it makes sense due to the probably inevitable rise in weight, is something different...).

In practical use:
