I recommend doing a forum search for high expectations but little ever delivered.

Just picked one up in like new condition. Beautifully designed, but rather over engineered(seems more German than Canadian).

Have only done a couple of shakedown runs, and it is very stable. I think the trailing link front suspension lets the front wheel be placed in a more forward position, which gives it a longer wheelbase feel and prevents brake dive. Reminds me of the ELF bikes from the 70s.

It is quite a bit heavier than the Birdy, and has a larger fold. which is to be expected.
