Hmm. By far the world's largest and most successful folding bike manufacturer, this bike over a decade in development, advertised as 'third generation', CNAS certified test lab in-house
, video clip of the frame being vibration tested on the Kickstarter page, all manufacturing done in house - yeah, they probably just slapped it together and are hoping for the best.

The other severe problem I have with the general design, is the stempost slopes backwards leaving the rider with no option to have a more ergonomic stretched out posture...
I searched on 'handlebar extender' and got 43,000 hits. Looks like Thor's got some in stock.
