Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Developed in the U.K. as an elegant transportation alternative, the Strida LT folding bike is a clean, compact, and effortless mode of urban and leisure transport. The most striking feature of the Strida LT is its unique triangular frame, which puts the rider in a comfortable upright riding position with superb visibility. In addition, the bike has no oily chain or funky gears to worry about, instead using a Kevlar greaseless belt drive system that gets you where you need to go without griming up your pants. And when you've reached your destination, the bike folds up in five seconds flat, with no complex sequences or frustrating procedures to follow. You don't even need to bend down, as the magnets will do all the work for you. Offering the smallest footprint of any full-sized folding bike, the Strida LT rolls easily along the ground when folded, so you don't need to do any heavy lifting.

The secret to the bike's small folded size is its short wheelbase. In bike mode, the wheelbase takes up much less size than traditional bikes, making you a favorite of pedestrians. In folded mode, however, the bike takes up next to no space, so you can easily store it in a corner or closet. Finally, the Strida LT comes with a rear luggage rack that turns into a convenient carrying stand when folded.



The Strida LT's chain-free design keeps your clothes grease-free, plus the bike folds up small when you reach your destination .

Product Description

The first completely new bicycle geometry in 95 years. Inside a triangular frame of lightweight aluminum, power is transferred to the rear wheel via a silent clean Kevlar belt. Handlebars are mounted horizontally so the rider can sit comfortably upright with an excellent view of the road. The genius of the triangular frame is that it can quickly fold. In five seconds, you have a light, compact form that you can easily wheel, stow in a closet, load in your car or take on the train.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of fun, January 4, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Strida LT Folding Bike (Sports)
I bought two of these LTs, one red and one silver. The bikes were easy to put together (attach the seat and rack) and everything you need comes in the box. You will probably need to inflate the tires, both of the bikes we received had very little tire pressure. The red color was more of a scarlet red. There is a reflective strip on the front frame tube, on the silver bike its not as noticeable, however it does stick out on the red frame... just something to consider when picking a colored frame.

I am 6' tall, with an inseam of about 33" and with the seat adjusted to where I am sorta tip toeing when stopped, seat as far back on the rails as can go, I find just enough room for my knees when riding. If I try and exaggerate my pedaling I can get my knees to touch my thumbs. I recently bought the extended handle bars, just havent put them on yet. Not sure if I want to go through the hassle (if it ain't broke, dont fix it kinda thing).

Steering is sensitive and it took a little bit to get used to. Riding with one hand is difficult and not something I would recommend until you've really gotten the hang of the quick steering.

The build quality is solid. The bike is light and easy to carry, both folded and unfolded. The belt drive is clean and quiet. I have noticed some noise when pedaling uphill, but from what I have read on forums it's just the metal freewheel and not necessarily anything to worry about... I dont hear it any other time.

I did replace the seat. The stock seat is fine for short distances, however you feel every bump and crack in the road. I bought the Velo Newport-S4 seat thru an Amazon merchant. Same brand as the Strida seat, only its a bit wider and has springs to absorb the shock of bumps in the road. The S4 seat really improved the ride of the bike.

When out riding we always get people asking about it... so be prepared to give the demo on how it folds, and maybe even offer a test ride. =)

Folded, we can fit two LTs in the trunk of a honda civic with room to spare.

I have no regrets buying this bike and recommend it highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original, high-tech, light weight and 5-second to fold/unfold for public transport, June 30, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Strida LT Folding Bike (Sports)
This is one of the best folding bikes on the market. It's original, high-tech, pretty and easy to carry on/off the bus or subway metro. After it folds, it looks like a unicycle. It's very small to put into any trunk. It takes only 3 steps to fold or unfold the bike. You can do it in 5 seconds but you better watch the video from YouTube first . The user manual has only instructions in pictures without a single word. It's hard to understand for the first timer.

The riding is OK. Since the front wheel is light and handle bar is short, it's not as easy as regular bike to ride. You tend to over-control the directions. Over all, it is an excellent folding bike. You better get a good steel lock to lock it.

Be ware of the counterfeit version from other sellers and those are junks.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect range extender to keep with you in the trunk, June 7, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Strida LT Folding Bike (Sports)
Ever have problems finding a parking space near your destination? Ever need to drop the car off at the auto shop several miles from work? This bike is the perfect range extender, perfectly filling the gap between walking and driving.

Some comments: The gearing is low for easy low-speed maneuvering. I found myself wanting a higher gear for longer distances on flat terrain. This is not a day-to-day commuter for that reason, unless you need to carry your bike on public transit or similar.

The steering is really quick and takes some getting used to. The handling feels quite squirrelly until you get used to it, and even then riding in a perfectly straight line is much more difficult than on a normal bike. The brakes work really well.

I'm 6'1", and the bike doesn't feel too cramped. Feels strange, but it's do-able.

The neon green color is awesome -- I get lots of comments and complements. If you're going to have a strange-looking bike, you might as well flaunt it.

absolutely don't try wheelies or track stands -- you'll hurt yourself.
