You know, it's not exactly lying, its marketing . :-)

(Reality agent: "Calm place close to countryside.", English translation: "Seven miles to the closest grocery store". No one will buy "horse ****s", but "environment friendly, biodegradable fertilizer")

OTOH it is proprietary and speed sensing so it's 66% true. ;-). Their PR did good job.

I was under the impression that foldable design had exception and the length restriction doesn't apply. Therefore it opens at speeds over city speed limit.

EDIT: I have checked. They claim they have "EXEMPT from U.S. DOT length restrictions" on their webpage. I know nothing about Australia though. But if it proves worth, maybe you can persuade them to get australian DOT approval too.
