I wish I could help with the parts. When I first got my Mobiky in early 2007, David Lam at Bfold in New York told me he could get any parts I needed, but I suspect that is no longer true. Many parts not unique to the Mobiky can be gotten from various sources. Are you looking for something in particular?

I love my Mobiky too, but I do not put a lot of miles on it. The unique design and folding mechanism appealed to me very strongly when I got it. Other folding bikes look more like they are "broken" when folded. In particular, the long handlebar stems hinged at the bottom that are common to many other folders seem a little scary to me. I also find the Mobiky's 12" wheels (ISO 203mm - smallest available conventionally spoked wheels?) with fat tires very cute and appealing, as well as providing a surprisingly comfortable ride, even without the optional suspension seat post.
