Genius!
But not without its faults
I've owned a couple of these.
You could too:

That does look like a lot of fun. Sadly my budget for a f*ck-about-folder is £75.

I am surprised you like these. I am not really a fan of the contrived design.

I don't like it as a bike, but it's a lovely design.
Fairly awful to ride, like most small wheeled bikes...
(Quiet at the Back There!)
But folded, it's a wheel on a stick, looks a bit like youre measuring distance.
Stub axles with sturmey drums
Belt drive
Built in carrier and guards
Bonded aluminium triangle, the original weighed 8kg iirc.

Here's a long term owner review of the modern item:

Video shows quick fold.

Here's the history

Made in Glasgow

I do get to own loads of bikes i don't really like - as long as there's a market,

Thanks for those links, Its a lot bigger than I thought it was just from the picture as I had a mental imagine of it being halfway between a kids bike and a circus clowns bike...
Then I saw the lad get off and fold it and my mind was truly blown

I must admit Jan I've always found the Moultons to be rather ugly compared to the other alternatives.
That's not to say that they are not incredibly well built,,, they are, but I just see the Quasimodo of folders and less attractive
