If you expand the information at the top of the video there's loads more detail.
Hydraulic drive apparently!!

Worth keeping an eye on for his progress
Shame he rushed to get the video out- as it raises question and doubt
(crank/cabling/drive etc missing in vid)
Good luck to him, hope he sorts it all out and makes a go of it
Regards
Rob

Mmmm, hydraulic drive is interesting! Looks like the way forward once efficiency problems have been overcome. Two-wheel-drive mountain bikes!

I posted my comment, a toothed belt would work and you could tension it as the frame is assembled and take the belt of and store it when it is folded.
Don't get too technical or overengineered as hydraulics would need to be transmitted through the joint in the frame and involve it being oil
tight as well.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
