Wow … I have a Dahon I love, this seems even nicer. Is it a chain or belt drive? This is nice!
rad.
Impressive!!
Nah, these things cost ~$1300. Although you can find cheap folding bikes made in china for ~$130. They just won’t be of the same quality as Bike Fridays or Bromptons.
The Brompton is definitely #1 for compactness. No contest there.
As far as why a speedy fold is useful, a few tens of seconds difference may not seem to matter at first, but when you are folding and unfolding twice every day for your commute, you really start to appreciate a no-hassle fold. Also, not having to re-adjust your seat after every fold is a bonus, AND the Tikit uses all standard bicycle parts while the Brompton has proprietary parts, so the Tikit is more versatile and easy to fix
The Brompton is still more compact when folded and doesn’t take much longer to fold 10 secs or so. Besides, as long as folding is not overly long winded, what’s a few seconds?
nope! That’s why it’s a well designed bike. Google Tikit and Bike Friday to find out exactly how it works.
Isn’t there any fasteners in bike? It would crash in any second if u ride like the video shows.
really? Is it only cost $134? It doesn’t sound expensive to me. I saw the price on catalogue more highererer than the price you say.
I really hope I can get one when I fly to USA next year
Really?
I saw a good price like $134, is that waht you thought?
ownage!
I consider it a cheap car. Haven’t had a car for 15 years.
Yeah, it’s not cheap. But it ain’t made in China, either. And it rides better than other folding bikes–you can do 40 miles a day without problems.
They’re lightweight–about 23 pounds. The “Speeding Tikit” model weighs 18 pounds, I think.
It packs into a Samsonite suitcase for travel, then the suitcase turns into a bike trailer. Ride right from the airport!
WOW!!I like this bike!!!so cooooool!! BUT It cost much~@@
Hey catch me in naked on my personal webpage meetyourfling(.Com)

what is the weight of that thing ?
Thats pretty cool. Kinda makes me wish I bought one of these instead of my road warrior 3. I wonder how far you can ride it and still be comfortable.
No quick-release to secure ?!
It is awesome, but why is this marked as spam?
cool. excelente bicicleta plegable
Man, that’s awesome. But when I check out the price, it’s way expensive. The tikit model has the minimum price of $1000.

Great demonstration what does it cost and what is its capacity?
I still think a-bike is the best folding bike. It’s a little pricy but it’s worth the money. They’ve all sold out but they’re coming out with new model within few months.
