Meet the Hummingbird: world's lightest folding bike
QUOTE:
"Chances are that if someone told you about a 6.5kg carbon-fibre bike, you'd picture an exotic drop-barred road bike rather than the Hummingbird, a folder that's just started looking for funding. Kickstarter. The team behind the Hummingbird reckons it's the lightest folding bike in the world. Assuming the 6.5kg (14.33lb) claimed weight for the 16in wheel version of the Hummingbird is accurate, it's comfortably the lightest folding bike we've ever heard of. The 20in wheel Hummingbird will weigh around 7kg (15.4lb)." http://road.cc/content/tech-news/170...ing-bike-video

So I'm a bit confused.

So I'm a bit confused. Two versions, one is compact and the other one might be ridable. :-)
