I think I'd want to be damn sure I had the only remote control to work the bike my bum was on :(

I can only see the remote facility being useful if the castor wheel had remote control steering, but it doesn't appear to have.

"freely on the stairs": it's better than a dalek ....

I love the idea that something weighing 18kg is so light you can just sling it over your shoulder and trot round the supermarket. 18kg is light for an ebike but is still pretty darn heavy... in my experience, just lifting a folding e-bike into the boot is a hernia inducing exercise, you'd certainly not take it on the tube with you...

You don't have to carry it. It'll follow you round carrying the shopping.

Interesting idea.

Carrying functions seems limited however

If I saw someone with this following them around in a supermarket, I'd have an irresistible impulse to keep popping items they picked back onto the shelves each time! :D

18kg is not light for a folding bike. Maybe its early in the morning, but to me that bike and remote looks bloody pointless lol

A small light folding bike is for carrying.
