Hi All,

I am interested in buying my first Strida. I did my research and read a lot of reviews, comparisons and forum threads. But I still not sure which model to choose.

I am short guy (170 cm / 5 feet 7 inches).

I need stride for two purposes:

- as 2-3 km daily commuter
- as alternative for walking 2-3km when getting on/off airports

When using it as addition to Cessna 172 😉 there is some issues:

- Strida is too long for Cessna’s baggage compartment, but inside cabin is plenty of space behind first row of seats (so it is ok)

- Surface of aprons and especially technical/side roads is often in bad condition (so is suppose, that 18” wheels are smarter choice)

So i have limited my options to Strida SX and Strida EVO.

Which one do you recommend? Do additional gears worth of its price?

Thank you in advance for help.

Best regards!
