The thighs you would need though!
Looks can be deceiving. With those tiny wheels a big ring like that is needed.
A 20incher kitted with a 52t with a 11 to 28 tooth 7 speed cassette would yield approximately the same gear inch increments as a 38t on 26" wheels with the same cassette

In answer to the original question. Yep love 'em they're great fun little things. I cut my fold-up teeth in about 1995 on a ratty BSA if memory serves, it was one of a few fondly remembered bikes from my school's (I was a "difficult child" hence specialist boarding school lol) collection. Mainly used to ride round on the back wheel or with the hinge open & frame well out of line! Had a few since then as well as some small-wheelers, wish I had pics of my RSW16 that was pretty tidy, complete with twist-grip SA gears & hub dyno that was actually some kind of internally regulated alternator IIRC as I fitted 12v LEDs and they'd flicker in time with the wheel speed but would maintain brightness until at a near stop.

Now, I am not a stickler for the rules, but I don't think this qualifies. I think it should go on the Imlach sweaty thread.

It's a damn minivelo for Christ's sake!
