...and some of us have more than one Brompton...
I think most people just call them roller skates.

And the outfit too.Accy will want them!
Not bright enough I suspect but his tailor can probably knock something up.And the outfit too.
I also ride a 'cumby, it's low down on the road,
And other folks will think of you as lower than a toad.
They often point out to me
The errors of my ways
Like being much more aero
And smiling like I'm in a daze.
Don't think I've seen those before!
I don't think there's any drive going to those wheels. I can't see anything. I think they may just be in-line skates with suspension.Don't think I've seen those before!
Do they work like mini-Elliptigos? (i.e. convert an almost-running motion into wheel rotation)
I have a set answer for the kids who say are you FC either Shush I am incognito, or Ho Ho Ho.
There seems to be a cable from the front wheel(s) to the back, and some sort of pulley wheel(?) at the back axle?I don't think there's any drive going to those wheels. I can't see anything. I think they may just be in-line skates with suspension.
Is that Lenin?How about these skates that appear to be powered by methane.
Yes. As I said upthread.A bit of googling pulls up that these are Takypods and are indeed powered. Invented by Edvard Petrini.
I've not found a manual or anything to say for definite how they work, but I'm guessing that as you step your weight onto them, it expands the wheelbase, pulling the cable. The cable pulls the cog and the cog turns the wheels.
