More collapsible than folding, but it still looks pretty funky.

thats funky as ya like!

Reminds me of those toys with the string running through, that collapse when you press the button on the bottom.

hope this doesnt work in the same way!!

Does it actually fold or does it slot together :?

wouldnt fancy dropping off curbs. or braking for that matter

I love the way people in the comments section dont grasp that it is a virtual concept.

Also sent this on to an aquentance who has designed and prototyped a folding wheel for bikes, and I think has a patent on it that this could be infringing on... if it goes ahead.

When will designers realise that solid tyres don't work?

 

[dyna-ti]

The one in the video uses normal tubes and tyres.
