Thanks for this pointer!
Interesting solution with front part going over the wheel. The front
wheel is perhaps placed a bit too far away from the pivot giving the
bike an unnecesary long trail. The folded package looks very compact,
almost 'Bromptonish'. If this design will work or not depends a lot
on the hinges; if they easily can be secured/locked and reopened.
Weight is also an issue since the material in the hinges will have to
be thick.
Do you think the rear part swings to one side or does it go down
under the seat? I can't really make that out. However, this fuels my
energy to continue the pursuit of a small recumbent folder that is
both fast and easy to fold. The holy Graal of foldable knicklenkers
must be found!

the parts are just lying loose and I am looking for a way to
secure them.
This is not an easy task I feel. Not without redesigning the
whole bike.
Did you see the plans for the russian folding python made by
Denis Silantiev. Well, the seat is somewhat strange, but the rest
seems plausible.
Cheers,
Jürgen.
