Keep Strida Original - say NO to Fakes!

The buttom tube of an SLO broke suddenly when the owner riding it on a cycle path.

By the way, the same SLO appeared at the event of Ride of Silence in Hong Kong this year.

Amuro, do you have a photo of this damaged bike that shows the steering pin where the bottom tube joins the front tube? The reason I ask is that my real Strida recently suffered a very similar break. In my case, the pin was angled back at about 45 degs.

No, I don’t. Sorry! :neutral_face:

Is this thing legal in the EU?!?

Probably not ! … it will NOT pass EN spec’s !!

I guess Ming will ‘zap’ them soon :mrgreen:

I fellow commuter bought a Funletic (http://www.funletic.de/) about a month ago.

Guess what? The frame broke this Tuesday while he was riding on the thing in heavy traffic :open_mouth:

Sadly, I was misled by the seller that my SLO really was a legit STRIDA when I purchased it back in 2009. When one of the pedals failed shortly after purchase, the seller was not to be found. So over the years I’ve replaced several components with legit STRIDA parts or at least better than the chinese knockoff parts that were original to the SLO.

Looks like I will have to be diligent in doing a pre and post ride check of the tubes to ensure that I don’t have a catastrophic failure. So thank you fellow forum members for making these posts.
