The foldable "ON" model, with rear chaincase/hub and single fork front, is the latest in developments from the group--now in the rideable prototype phase and recently launched at Eurobike. The project has been in the works for a couple years, originally stemming from a futuristic bicycle project with students at Elisava Design School in Barcelona in 2004.
