my answer comes a bit late, but yes, the original Espresso rolls, just leave the seat post extended and grab it by the saddle. Since the bike (my version) doesn’t have a magnet folding fixation, the front wheel wobbles a bit, but it works quite well.

The perfect bike, fast, tough and I take it on the train for free.
My only problem is – how do you fasten the headset??? It is blocked by the turnable handlebar mount. I can only push the frame downwards as much as I can, then fasten the screws of the handlebar mount. It is never enough and the headset stays somewhat loose. I cannot think of a solution besides some special compression tool, exactly fitting just that bike.

I did modify to full size road racing wheels. Bow it is fast. A cruise speed of 30k/h is doable now.
Standing stability when folded is bad. Alsways need something to leannagainst and in trains you need to tie it to something.
