This little review shows you how you can easily blaze through the city traffic and crowded places with the Strida SX folding-bike.
It also shows you how to fold and unfold it within just a few seconds.
I am a huge fan of the Strida. I ride it almost every day of the year. The only times I can’t ride it, is when there is ice or too much snow on the streets, because I don’t have any spikes on my Schwalbe Kojak tires.
After getting my first Strida SX from Van Moof, Netherlands, I soon after bought myself a 2nd one (Strida SX Limited Edition with leather seat and grips + curved handle bars) that I ordered from AREAWARE, USA.
So the kickstand and fenders where not included with the silver Strida SX when I bought it but chances are that you get it all together when you buy it. Seems to depend on the distributor / retailer.

I am amazed! too bad I think we don’t have that kind of bike in my country.
Its amazing, wish could afford!
Re “aluminium” – you were correct the first time according to British English. “Aluminum” is the US version.
check my channel for strida Metropolis (LT)
Nice review. Thanks for the tip about greasing the hinge and ordering extra tubes.
that’s not tiny.
@Gasher74 Thanks! 🙂
This “Bike” is so wrong in so many ways…. just no!
more of a commercial than a review.
the site for the lights ‘knog dot com slash au’ just goes to a linkfarm.
what’s up with the HTC clothing? is it a sponsor?
Шикарно
I have one for many years. In this video isn’t shown that the form is made to hang it down between the coats or to place is in a luggagerack in the train. Not possible with the blockform if folded of other bikes. However the confort of sitting is so hard, that 10 miles biking is the limit. To prevent wooden buttocks.
Me too I love this bike.
How did you notice that that weird sound comin’ from back triangle?
4:50 i can’t do wheelie but i do bunnyhops and jumpin’ from 0,5m height easily))
ohh and you can ride with no handlebars while standin’ .. haha kids don’t try this in the streets
Awesome
Watch the Strida in action for commuting
Must see
Commute from Chelsea market to Grand Central Terminal on a STRIDA bike, Manhatten, NYC
Hahaha… haglöfs. Vart hittade du cykeln?
Dinner plate size wheels? I could walk faster than that thing.
Excellent video, and very informative. I can see you are a fan of the Strida. I rode a Strida 3 a few years ago (I borrowed it from my old boss). I liked it but it was a bit ‘creaky’ especially the pedal/crank. I see that the new ones have a metal bracket welded to the frame now. Would you recommend the SX over the standard Strida? do the upgrades make a big difference? Thanks
You can find the ultimate Strida (Strida MAS) on the following design online store: Jardins Florian (just google them with strida as a 3rd key word). They deliver in Europe.
Awesome video … nice effort. I really like the way it was presented. Thanks!
What bag is at 3:38?
Unfortunately this reviewer barely touches on the Strida’s Achilles heel — the low-speed handling. It’s abysmal. Terrifying on a crowded city street. I tried the Strida once and sent it back to the manufacturer for a refund immediately.
which city – very nice!
i never seen a HTC jacket in my life until now
Hello,
I really enjoyed watching your review about the Strida bike.
By the way I have a question about the music of the video: Can you tell me the name of the song?
Thanks a lot
no problem 🙂 you’re welcome
well yeah, I’m a fan 🙂 but still, I paid the regular price.
who know where to buy it. Please let me know please. My email nectarin2014@gmail.com
Thank
where can I buy a STRIDA bike in Canada ?
in terms of speed – yes, it’s not a racing bike – but still, I’m faster then the average cyclist, even with just one gear.
Hey! Nice video! I am seriously considering buying one. What is your experience with the steering? One get use to it? And, is it possible to ride one-hand? Here (NL) I usually go with an umbrella in one hand while riding, I am wondering how safe is to do it on a Strida…
here you go, I put the link into the description – but the style varies a lot, so don’t be disappointed if the rest of the stuff doesn’t sound like this song 😉
Tnx! What is the difference between Strida SX and Strida Metropolis (if is there any)?
Good review guy’s 🙂
Very good review. Thanks very much.
I own an Oyama East Village bicycle, but I’ve also been a long term fan of Strida.
Nice review, unfortunately the bike doesnt seem to perform as well.
1 speed? wish it had a shimano shifter on there.. its gonna be slow
Music is too loud!
Hi Camilo. The steering is a bit nervous but you’ll get used to it. I’m still riding it, also one handed. But it’s better to have both hands on the handlebar. Especially if you have to use the brake.
If you get yourself a Strida, you could as well go all in and get a Nubrella. Google it 🙂
Unfortunately, I’m in a densely populated area of midtown Manhattan where there is no safe area nearby to practice low-speed maneuvers. I am also a senior citizen, so it is entirely possible that my balance and coordination are not up to the challenges of the Strida. The bike does fold wonderfully, however…
Oh great! Thanks for answering!
It would be nice if you can let me know when their website will be launched…
Thanks
