I wonder if Strida might ever go the chainless route, like Dynamic? Seems to me it would make a lot of sense, if it’s possible. Of course, Dynamic makes their own folder, so there might be some competition. Just a thought.
David, you mean the Dynamic Sidkick 7 like this one?http://www.dynamicbicycles.com/buy/Bikes.php?prodid=60
The Sidekick features a light aluminum frame with quick release hinges and foldable pedals that allow you to quickly and easily pack the bike down to a compact 14’‘W x 30"L x 22"H without any tools in just 30 seconds. When setup, the Sidekick offers a a comfortable upright riding position and an extremely flexible design with an adjustable seat post and handlebar to accomodate riders from 5’0’’ up to 6’0’’ (minimum leg length 24"; maximum leg length 34").
The Sidekick uses the Shimano Nexus 7-speed hub, offering a versatile range of gearing in a very compact space. We combine the Shimano hub with our street shaft drive to create a gear range that will allow you to navigate streets, sidewalks and waterfront areas smoothly and easily. In addition, the Sidekick features a wide, comfortable seat, reliable alloy linear pull brakes, alloy rims and 1.75" tires for soft rides, great control, and excellent resistance to rust and corrosion.
But the fold is rather big compared to Strida tall but lean.

Yes, that’s it. I wonder if it would even be possible with the Strida’s design.

Think there’ll be a retro-fit kit for existing Stridas, if this happens?
