These days it's all down to Ming, Mark is still involved but at the end of the day, it's George & co who have the final say.
I would not expect a gear hub to follow, the Strida is about simplicity and those super narrow hubs (also used on some of the iF models) make for a compact fold, but leave no room for hub gears.
There's plenty of scope for gear options in the iF range of folders.
