Volkswagen "Bik.e" folding/collapsing process: https://youtu.be/06d5NzjmpLk

"(80% it makes it to production) This electric bike was announced in 2010 and is just too cool not to make it to market. It folds up so small it will fit in the back of a small VW trunk. Folding bikes are really awesome and this one is a very unique design. The only thing we don’t like about it is that, in order to make it ultra-foldable this bike was designed without pedals. VW might have a problem with legalities since this would in most jurisdictions be classified as a “scooter” and not an “electric bike.” VW lawyers are working on this problem now, and VW’s people are talking to Segway’s People and presumably it will all get worked out."

I really hope that this comes to the US market. The perfect accessory to the e-Golf. It would make it fun getting around while waiting for the car to charge at a place with great distance between businesses.
