I know this is the subforum to go for the more "eccentric" types of bikes and just wondering has anyone bought the newer a-bike city? this is the official a-bike with 8 inch wheels instead of the tiny 6 inches. It should be quite a better ride now even for pootling along sidewalks and bicycle paths(no way I can take this on my pot hole filled roads in Toronto). Could anyone that bought one give a insight or review on it cause i'm very intrigued on super tiny folding bikes that work well. Locally I can pick one up for a pretty good price on the 8 inch wheeled version.

Costco is the Canadian version of Sam's Club.
Also i'm not interested in the super cheap clones for like $50-$100 because some company actually did some testing on it and found it to break easily on some certain places where old posters mentioned (front wheel snap on a simple hit).
Any abike clubs in Amsterdam with the new one care to give some thoughts because I know you guys have quite a bit of cobblestones on the side streets and a bike store I was at sold the abikes, it felt alot more solid in person than I thought it would be.
