29 pound is too heavy for a folding bike that size.
I believe that to be the only problem with this bike.
On the Strida 5.0, the higher you raise the seat, the closer your knees come to the handlebars. For this reason, you would definitely be more comfortable on the Mobiky. Also, the Mobiky is a multi-speed and the Strida is a 1 spd. The Mobiky feels more stable than the Strida too.
this looks a hell lot better than the A bike.
Sure didn’t seem like it.
Over the last few years, large flocks of tropical parakeets have been nesting in the area. They were blown in by hurricanes like Katrina. They’re fun to watch but VERY loud.
could those birds chirp any louder hehehe
Thanks for the informative video. How would you compare the ride to the Strida 5.0? I’m 6′3″ and 220 lb, btw, and was considering the Strida until I read that it’s not very good for taller and heavier people.
29 pounds??? omg thats heavy!
too heavy for small bike. almost 14kg.
I would like to buy one like that. Please tell from where I can buy one.Thank you.

Yes, the Mobiky definitely folds smaller and I do like it’s techno look.
Justin, I know that bike – very cool and ahead of it’s time (I wonder if Mark Sanders got the idea of the Strida’s kevlar belt drive from the Picnica…). The Mobiky folds up more compactly though and is easier to roll when folded.
Too many steps, the picnica folding bike in the seventies/eighties was small like this but only required one ingenius step to fold, which it does by collapsing front to back, truly simple – one action. I have a picnica. – made by bridgestone
A funny thing I’ve noticed with small wheeled bikes is they are alot easier to stabilize when you start to ride, like a scooter, but only if the bike’s gear is at the right setting…
Mobiky is pretty cool but kinda expensive.Did some research on how much they go for in my country and when I found out,I just thought Oh fuck it.Nice vid though.
r u metally retarded who tha fuck wants a bike that folds what the hell u gonna do with it stick it in your pocket
I picked one of these up today for peanuts, but compared to my Brompton, it is too heavy, doesn’t fold up small enough and can’t be folded fully in 3 seconds(eg handlebars clipped down, seat and handlebars dropped, bike folded in half) like they say in the ads…
Prefer my Brompon, but the Mobiky is still good for a laugh!

Hasa makes a folding bike from carbon that’s a little over 17 lbs. It’s gorgeous and fast but it also costs $2200.
While I’d like the Mobiky to be lighter, it’s still very functional as is because it rolls when folded and takes as little as 3 seconds to fold.
29 pounds for that thing? man make it out of titanium or carbon, that is too heavy and defeats the whole purpose of making the bike small.
No,I think your’e right.You would soon get tired on this bike.699 sounds a little steep.I live in a second floor flat and I’m looking for a foldable bike I can lug up the stairs.Some little shit vandalised my mountain bike while it was locked to the stairs on the ground floor.
Actually, you can ride the Mobiky as fast as a full sized bike because the gearing was designed for small wheels. Small wheels also are stronger, more efficient at speeds under 20 mph and more responsive regarding turning (very handy in an urban cycling environment). The only downside is that small wheels roll deeper into potholes.
I like folding bikes but i think the weels are too small so you can’t go fast with it. or am i wrong?
This is obviously superior to the A-Bike in terms of quality, but I cannot tell how small it folds and how durable it is comparatively. I will do some research, but thanks for sharing.
In NYC, commuting without a car is a wise choice, and not a reflection of one’s income. I bought the A-Bike to travel shirt distances quicker.
