Strida EVO3 with 18" wheels?
Hello
I just saw the EVO 3 with 18" wheels available new for €1,100/$1,500
Previously, I test-rode the EVO 3 with 16" wheels and found it too slow. The documentation for the 18" says that it can go up to 45km/h (28mph).
Did someone try that EVO3 18"? Is it fast enough for day-trips, or is it only meant for riding in the city?
Thank you.

Difference between 16 and 18" wheels is not that much. I don't see it making a huge difference.
If you're looking to do distance riding,I'd pic another folder. Dahon/Tern,Brompton and others have much better offerings. Stridas are really best for short hops.
