Strida Folding Bicycle: Fast AND furious!
Whether you occasionally bike for leisure or use it as your daily mode of transportation, this bike takes the cake in terms of engineering, convenience and style. Developed over 22 years ago, the Strida Folding Bike is easily the most advanced bike of it’s kind on the market.
Coming in at 22 lbs, the aluminum bike is incredibly light to handle. It folds and unfolds in second (see animated demo below), and can easily be rolled in its folded form. It also features a kevlar belt drive that not only resists bullets but also eliminates the usual greasy chain.
There are two models available, the 3.2 model is available at Bike Mania for $490.99 while the 5.0 model runs for $799.00 and can be ordered at NYC EWheels. See chart for comparisons between the two models:
