Bike Friday's New Saturday
https://www.bikefriday.com/main.cfm?f...&Category=Fred
Here's a new picture of the new folding recumbent by Bike Friday. It looks interesting as they went to the 20 'inch wheel and dropped the 16' inch. The picture looks poor and I'm sure it looks alot better. What bothers me is the high chainring for a short wheel base recumbent. It looks higher than the Rans Rocket which will make starting from a dead stop harder. Anyway. It's good to see the SatRDay make a comeback.

The new Bike Friday Saturday is finally out of the bag. It reminds me of the Rans Rocket with a higher bottom bracket. I still think they should have focused on a lower bottom bracket or one with a 26 inch rear wheel but it's one of the few folding recumbents that can fit in a Samsonite case. Overall, a very nice product and a bit pricy! I would like to see a demo on how it folds!
The handlebars are quite radical in my opinion. They look more like touring bars with bar end shifters! I wonder if you're supposed to ride the bike with the bar straight up like in the picture?
