I'm more surprised that there are some here on the folding forum that doesn't sound like they knew what this bike was considering it's been created since 1988! for flat terrain commuting i gotta say its a great bike! you really have no maintenance on it and the brakes stop on a dime. Anyone that says you'll crush your nuts on it hasn't really rode one, I didn't realize when one brakes you let go of all your pedals and handlebars then let everything slide forward! actually someone did crash on a strida in some old video it is instead launched him up into the air .

but since this is probably a clone because the ad is soo odd and the owner doesnt know what it really is I wouldn't offer more than $150 for it just to test out. highly likely it's a clone because it's missing strida stickers all over it.
