Surely this can be not only done, but done better. A lot of EV tech since then makes this an easier build than it seems.

my folding ebike is practically just a weird shaped version of this

The new motocompacto is basically an upright EV version of this.

This is Motocompo from the 80s

Smaller is way more fun and interesting than bigger when it comes to vehicles in my opinion

Hmm, 15mph max, for a total of 12 miles.

Do you really want to drive a suitcase more than 15mph?
