The top comment reads:
After a year with the IF ModeList of things that went wrong but fixed for free.*Right pedal snapped off.*Center bolt in Shlump Drive came loose into the chain case after the fix, it never folded correctly as in the wheels are uneven to the ground.List of things to check before riding:*Knob on gear shifter will come loose and WILL fall out.*Handelbar fasteners come loose and WILL fall out.
Do you think this will be an issue for the IFmove? I'm heavily considering buying on to replace my Dahon vitesse!
First, those comments are for a If Mode version 1 while mine is version 2 with a bit of improvements. I never had those problems. Anyway, for the IFMove, most of them don't apply for sure, it doesn't mount schlumpf drive so you will not have problem with the center bolt and knob on gear shifter. The handlebar is different so will not come loose, the only thing similar could be the problem on folding, but I never had a problem like that both on If Mode and If Move. I would not comment the problem on the right pedal...maybe it was not correctly tightened, those kind of things can happen on a handmade bike, no one is perfect. Just take a wrench and tighten it.
