Great five part review.. I was contemplating buying one, but I am holding off for three reasons: First the frame geometry..., the Strida looks very unstable, like riding a unicycle w/handlebars. It would be very dangerous downhill because of the sensitive steering. #2, a single gear is impractical on any kind of hilly commute. Then the price; way too high. Seems to be a great bike for apartment people with a close, flat commute to public trans. Kevlar belt great. Brakes seem excellent.
I find the seat a bit strange to get used to...because we usually dismount by moving forward off the seat...whereas with this we have to go back...and the short wobbly steering takes a little time to get used to as well...but then it is OK. I have a bad back so the very straight-up sitting position is great....and I can sit on it with a foot on the ground and use it to rest whilst still sitting....when my back is painful then normal standing gets tired quickly...but not sitting on this...
GREAT WORK!!! liked ur DETAILED n high quality review which directly comes out from users.....thanks for that.... wish it was less expensive in UK......but also....i wonder how u cud lock this bike if u r not carrying it into a mall or lets say to work.... . i kno u can lock other folding bikes...but i hav a concern wit design of Strida....anyone any inputs??
Thanks for the comment. I think the intention of the design of this bike is to take it everywhere with you, keeping the bike in your peripheral vision at all times. Transport comes with you everywhere.. :) Thanks for subscribing!
@innomind meaning there is absolutely in no possibility that one can leave the bike locked! places like london where offices generally tend to lack much of desk space ..carrying a large 3-4 feet tall wheelchair may not be idol....but ya i wud still wish u own one... again THANK FOR THE REPLY.....n videos
I would love to have the new 6.2 version with the two-gear hub...and the large 18" wheel version combined.. I think this is great for those with back problems....
The Strida is a unique entry in the folding bike market and has it's niche but as someone who uses bicycles as a primary means of transportation for utility as well as recreational purposes, I have absolutely no use for one. As such it's something that I would consider purchasing only as a novelty.
What's wrong with looking at the Manual first. Having said that its the last thing I do. Why? coz I'm a man and when you open a box you think PUZZLE! The girl in the vid gets out the manual LOL
The format of your reviews is awesome.

Never mind the bike, this is a really nice little film !
How effective is this compared to a regular citybike with normal frame/tires?
