I met a guy yesterday who has one of these little wonders. I've always respected them because former regulars like Somnatash and Makeinu bought one and sung the praises of this little bike. (Where have those 2 characters gone btw?)

See old thread:

I got to ride a dual drive 2009 model. It had no problem taking my 6 feet and 93kg
(14.8 stone of weight). Very good build quality and an extremely effective vertical fold. The dual drive has a very nice and efficient lower (like a fixed gear) that you can use most of the time and a much higher gear to gain speed when the conditions are right.

Conclusion: A real surprise. This tiny wheeled wonder rides very well and a solid and capable steering with a nice riding posture. I have claimed many times on this forum that the Brompton is the ultimate commute n'go folder but it has a very worthy rival in this bike.

Now to try the Reach IF. I've once had a brief ride on the traditional Reach. Taiwan is such a treasure trove and Pacific are very talented coming up with a little wonder like this. No disrespect but forget the A-bike, you could do 10 miles on the Carryme no problem!
