Too soon to tell. It's rather heavy, but seems to have several options for weight reduction. It rides very nice, and once you get the fold figured out is about the same as a Birdy in that regard. Will see what can be done about the weight, but so far the Birdy rides about the same and is much lighter and folds more compactly. Unfortunately they seemed to have gone for cheaper components to bring it into a price point. I guess they had difficulties recouping the R&D and frame fabbing costs. Not unusual for small companies like that. By the time they get to market, not enough resources to do proper advertising and distribution.
The Go is a marvelous bit of industrial design. Will be interesting to see if it can be made more practical as well.
