Strida commercial, Areaware USA |
In 1985 UK designer Mark Sanders presented Strida 1 as the solution to traffic congestion. This collapsible bike meets all the necessary requirements: user convenience, fast folding and unfolding, minimum weight, Kevlar belt drive and easy transport of the folded bike through the use of the wheels. Its unique design and quality resulted in excellent sales and brand name awareness from 1994. Consecutively, between 1998 and 2003 Strida 1 is redesigned and updated into Strida 2 / 3 / 3.1 and 3.2.The folding bike is getting more comfort, an aluminum frame and collapsible handlebars. Individual styling and flexible design are added to its characteristic construction and to its accessories. |

Features Aimed primarily at commuters and city dwellers whose storage space might be limited, the Strida is designed to be simple to use, quick to fold, and easy to maintain. Folding in just 6 seconds and weighing in at 9kg's, the Strida is one of the lightest, fastest-folding bicycles on the market. The Strida is also impeccably clean. With rust-proof components and a kevlar belt driving the bike in place of a chain, you don't have to worry about dirty grease, lubrication, or adjustments. In addition, the kevlar belt never needs to be adjusted or cleaned the way a chain would, so you can ride with a clear mind. Strida bicycles are known for their hand-built quality. Given that they are single-speed, there is even less maintenance to worry about. 'A'-Shaped Collapsible Frame Constructed exclusively from 7000 series powder-coated aluminium, the frame is rustproof, lightweight, rugged, and protected by a lifetime warranty. Adjustability The Strida's upright posture provides great road visibility. The seat adjusts up and down to accommodate riders from heights of 5'4" through to 6'4". Disc Brakes Advanced dual mechanical disc brakes are safe, durable, and provide superior braking in both dry and wet weather. Portable Folding Bicycle A folded Strida can be wheeled on and off trains and buses easily, and can provide greater mobility between other forms of transport. A distinctive characteristic is that the Strida folds into a "wheeled walking-stick" that can be pushed along, much like a folded pram/baby-buggy whose folding concept provided the inspiration for the design. Clean Commuting The Strida uses an ultra strong and silent kevlar belt, the greaseless kevlar belt replaces a traditional chain to avoid mess so you don't have to worry about it coming into contact with clothing or other items.
