A great loss to us all. I like this quote:
"He was very taken, through his association with Bridgestone, with the Japanese sense of the “spirit” of an artefact, reflecting its origins and the care with which it was made. "

Here's a Moulton that someone posted a while back. Very light, very strong...I would have very much liked to see what he would have designed for a variety of E-bike specific frames.

That is our very own amazing Miles' ebike.
I like Alex's bike designs a lot. If you're going to make the best bike, it should fold up and not be notch-sensitive, and not be limited to single spar/tube members from point to point. His designs embody all of that criteria very well, perhaps better than anyone else ever did.

^ Moulton bicycles don't fold, they separate... (into 2 halves) and only on some models...
I believe Miles' Moulton does not separate.
Anyways, they are beautiful bikes... RIP

Here's mine a recent Pashley built Moulton TSR2 (two speed belt driven) with a lightweight front hub (Tongxin) conversion.
The above picture shows it ready to go with a small 5 mile battery in that frame bag. Shown below in its portable form with a larger battery in that detachable bag.
Finally stowed in my office split (they don't fold).

Huh. This seller claims it folds up, and it sort of looks like it folds... Is this just the two-half model?

Man he attacks it with that huge Allen key 
It's really not that hard to use a smaller Allen key, put it in squarely and undo it without wobbling it all over the place.
