They are clearly very nice bikes, but I do not know why they made so few over in Taiwan, and it was impossible for average people to order one. They are also not very light at 11kg. Maybe they will make more or use the jigs and moulds to improve the current models.
I was lucky to buy mine second hand from someone who ordered his through B-fold in NYC and had it shipped. I believed he told me the shipping itself was $600. I could not find any dealers out here selling them. Mobic bikes aid they could order them. They are good bikes but really hard to buy here too. They seem more prevalent in Asia. I have a continuous search going on for used Birdys. You never know when one pops up. Just wish there were more and the prices not so high.
