i think u forgot another wishlist that is adjustable handlebars that slides horizontally for more space between the knees and handle as address by one of the testers that the knee would touch with knee pads on.
Not that wouldn't be nice, but he was also wearing rollerblades at the same time, so if you were just wearing kneepads I don't think it would be an issue.
Nice review! I pondered on purchasing one of these bikes for quite some time now, but just like what is said in the video. I wish the entry price was around the $500 usd range.
I ride a 12 mile loop at least 5x a week on my regular bike going to school and doing errands, mostly flat and about a mile of slight uphill. Is there anyone here who does this or something similar on their Strida? Any ideas from actual riders? Thanks =)
@MultiIngredients I'm thinking of a Strida as an extra bike to use on mass transit during peak hours; my main bike / true love is a Bike Friday Tikit. The consensus I've seen is that the Tikit is much more comfortable for long distances (particularly if you get a custom build to your measurements), while the Strida has a far smaller fold -- when I take my Tikit on the bus it generally blocks a seat, whereas the Strida wouldn't need that. Another plus for the Strida -- it's cheaper.
I am planning to give up my car since we will soon have no (affordable) oil to power cars any more. An adult trike is my only choice. If Americans had elected Ralph Nader for President of the USA like they should have, then we would have banned gas-cars back in 2000 and we would be forced to go all electric.
My environmentally-conscious brother is extremely skeptical that I can give up a car and go with a human-powered with electric-assist trike only, but your videos prove that I can do it!
Thank you very much for this very in depth and informative review. I am an American living in Taiwan and just today I purchased a Strida bicycle. I will try to post a video of my use of it here in Taiwan although I doubt it will be as high quality as yours.
The lower the weight of the bike the more expensive this bike will become. Going all carbon fibre is an expensive alternative.

I love how the normally excellent image stabilization just totally fails on the NYC subway...shows how crappy the transit system there is.
