The Strida is one of the best designed 'town runabouts',
Apart from the Wow factor,
The ultimate engineers dream, minimum parts, three frame members & three joints, less is more!
It is more agile than any other folder (I can do a controlled u-turn in about three foot, making it great for zig-zagging through busy places)
Never gets your hands dirty,
Folds quicker than any other folder that I've tried (I haven't tried the Tikit yet)
Can roll easily on it's wheels when folded, even with shopping on the rack,
& now with the 5 it looks like there is scope for a few customisations (e.g. Hope hydraulic brakes
)
The only drawbacks are that the seat adjustment is limited, and there is a lack of gears at the moment but I sense that this won't be for much longer.............
