I had done a good bit of research before getting my Dahon, and thought I had heard of most folders. This is a new one on me. Don't know if I'd ever buy one, but it
is an interesting method of folding (collapsing, really).
Anyone own one? Ride one? See one in-person?
I test rode a "telescoping" type bike a year ago. I actually liked it. I believe it was a 16" wheel model and had 6 speeds.
It was being displayed at an airshow and I believe they wanted about $350 Canadian for it. (bright yellow frame - other colours available) Rode it around the show for about 15 minutes... pavement, grass, taxiway, runway...oh my.
Seemed like a nice ride. Could have been the Giatex. (looked like it...but it's been a year)
Knowing what I know now, I'd love to take it for a spin again.
