Anybody know what that thing on the left is? It was an ad but the link wouldn't open. Hell, what's on the RIGHT?

Wham-O and Smacircle Partner to Develop Innovative eBikes to Make City Travel Easier and Fun
By Christopher Simmons - Jan 28, 2019 12:02 PM PST

CARSON, Calif. /California Newswire/ — Wham-O, the iconic all-American recreational brand synonymous with fun and sport, announced a strategic partnership with Smacircle LMT Ltd to introduce better solutions in “LAST MILE” transportation.
(blah blah...)
Wham-O and Smacircle will introduce Smacircle S1, the world’s most compact and lightweight eBike. Weighing approximately 17 pounds, the S1 can easily be folded in five simple steps into a small backpack.
(blah blah...)
The Smacircle S1 is the lightest and smallest eBike in the world with a folded footprint of 19 inches across. While it may appear frail, the body is mostly constructed of carbon fiber capable of supporting up to 220 pounds, making the S1 perfect for work and travel.
(blah blah...)
The high-quality, high-capacity Samsung battery for the Smacircle holds up to 1-15 miles on a single charge, and the battery fully recharges in three hours. The 5,700 mAh battery pack and 240W motor are powerful enough to propel the S1 to a top speed of 15 mph and a grade of up to 15 degrees.

That's UGLY :shock:

So are so many other artsy fartsy vehicles, but people still bought them. Pontiac Aztec, Nissan Cube, Checy SSR, 2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird, Plymouth Prowler, PT Cruiser. They still sold a ton of them.
 
Looks like "IT" by Mr Garrison.

Still. The whole folding Ebike thing doesn't really need 50km range at 70kph. It is just a means to travel from the subway to the office.
So if this thing actually works - which is a lot to say looking at these miniature wheels - it could be a rather useful commuter.
