Hi,
or maybe it transfers the turning of the handlebar to the pivot. Some
kind of geared steering?
Does it have some gearing in the hub? Or just 1:1 and relying on the big
wheel to have reasonable transmission?
If not, this could just be an unicyle hub. There is even one with two
gears available.
Are these 36" or just 29" wheels?
Well, it will not qualify as a lowracer :-).
It takes the disadvantages of a front wheel drive, like more slip going
uphill or on bad roads but don't get the aero advantages of the lowracer.
Can anybody tell about the free hands ability of the bike?

Could it be some sort of friction / resistance mechanism to counter
steer independently? I have tightened my handle-bar half-way, to
balance hand and foot input. It feels less confusing but hand input
still seems unnecessary 15mph for python.
I like the folding and power transfer to the rear wheel via the middle
small wheel. Not sure about the seat though, there are plenty of
folding bikes with similar level of pain...

Here is a video with some more detail (the third video from top):

The pivot stabilization with the steel wires seems like the
mechanism that is the core of this invention. Would be nice to get
the details of it, possibly from the patent description.

If so, I apologize for the extra email.
I found two things interesting: 1) The direct-drive front
wheel, apparently with some internal gearing, and 2) the
steering linkage. I haven't had time to look at these for more
than about 1 minute though.
