Folding

The company that recently introduced the 60-minute foldable Baby Box also has another foldable tiny home with more creature comforts (like appliances), more square footage, and can be move-in ready within a day. But is it too good to be true?

Boxabl's latest tiny home creation, the Baby Box, is an ultra-compact, foldable tiny home. It's designed to be so easy and simple to construct that one person, without any tools, can set it up and start living the tiny life. And it's cheap.

Folding ebikes make a lot of sense for folks who have to factor in trains or buses for the commute to work. But what if you want to venture farther? Brompton's new G Line models are designed "for the city and beyond."

Earlier this year, we took a look at a knife quite unlike any other in the Craighill Sidewinder. Craighill is now introducing a smaller version that folds the same split-handled, slide-and-flip design into a package small enough to hang on a keychain.

California-based ebike company Blix has launched a folding commuter that can haul over 300 lb, and comes with auto power/gear shifting for optimum riding, can ride as Class 2 or 3, and includes a 70-mile battery.

In the 1980s, Honda turned heads with the iconic Motocompo – a fold-out scooter designed to fit snugly in the trunk of the City car. Four decades later, it could make a comeback as an EV range extender you can ride.

Outdoorsy types have lots of uses for folding knives, so if such a device can be lightweight yet also cool-looking, so much the better. That's where the Dragon Ridge comes in, as it has an M390 steel blade that folds into a skeletal titanium handle.

Sometimes a cyclist needs a big, old basket. Sometimes a big, old basket is the last thing they need. The new Allpacka One ensures they're happy in both cases, riding as a flat rack on regular commutes and fast-folding into a 30-L basket on demand.

Multitool-maker Logical Carry has returned to Kickstarter with an upgraded take on its Ti-Mag titanium ratcheting screwdriver. The new V2 model still magnetically holds five bits, but features a handy folding design along with other improvements.

Brompton went electric back in 2017, and has since launched a number of tasty folding ebikes. But even its lightest is heavier than the Flit M2, and is a good deal pricier too. First announced in 2022, the Brompton killer is now up for pre-order.

Fat-tire ebikes pretty much always make for smile-packed off-road fun, but is one motor enough to power the ride? Oddly named maker Lankeleisi clearly doesn't think so, as evidenced in the X3000 Max adventure folder with dual 1-kW motors.

While there are indeed a ton of multitools on Kickstarter, most of them are pretty darn similar to one another. The GT-1 is different, in that it utilizes a unique folding form factor to pack 12 functions into one compact device.
