I was given my 1999 Brompton and it works well. I wanted a Strida for fun, especially since in London Bromptons are the target of gangs of muggers. I got a strda copy from eBay £170 but have had problems with spokes breaking and the seatpost pin shearing off. Seeing photos I put on the Strida Facebook group Mark Sanders mentioned that it was a copy. A week later I got a real mk.3 Strida from eBay, £120, cheaper than the copy😊. Later I got a mk.2 Strida from Facebook marketplace even cheaper, £65😋. Lastly I got two Stridas, a mk.1 and an LT for £250. The LT is mint condition and rides beautifully. The mk.3 2005 and mk.2 1999 are in very good condition and have only had light use. The mk.1 is from 1988 and is rideable but needs attention.

The fake bikes are getting better. Just wait for a few more years.

Buen producto pero se ve muchísimo más al expositor que a la bici que al final es lo que interesa ver. Saludos cordiales desde Colombia 🇨🇴 Sur América

Does it have a turning signals?

*The **Latest.Bike** was delivered way too faster than I expected. Easy to assemble and nice design!The frame is heavy but durable.*

now the fake aceoffix claim 1:1 of brompton. there r a few brompton clone have improved than what the video shown. the price is 2 fake brompton is equal of 1 original brompton. just save up and buy a original or just buy dahon.

I live rurally but would definitely have one if more urban. Love the design

I’ve got one I feel a prat riding it why no electric assist!!

China is the enemy of all inventors of the world. When intellectual property is not protected, you remove the incentive to invent things. Your government can actually stop this disaster by making the importation and sale of fakes illegal for the UK. But it has always been the goal of the globalists to collapse western society.

I just bought a knock off strida on ebay😫😂 I don’t know why because my whole life I bought high-end bikes it just looks like a fun bike to own

Brompton's patents apparently expired in 1999. Insulin is a great thing but it eventually was copied legally, too. The Chinese aren't selling Bromptons. They are probably naming them "Blomptorns" or "Excellent Bike No 1," so people aren't going to be fooled.

That is why we need copy rights

I wonder what the ratio of retail cost to cost of materials is for the Strida? It’s a pretty awesome concept, and the design is genius, but is it worth $800 USD, especially when it’s mass produced by Ming Cycle in China? I’d love to have one, but I like to eat and stuff too. Just sayin’. I’m

Brompton patents expired after 20 years of monopoly, now Brompton is using legal tricks to keep their monopoly which is why you can't buy a similar bike for under $500 but everyone in China can for $50 - - come on, after decades anyone should be able to make a similar bike. Or should the inventor of the Safety Bicycle in 1880 be able to block Brompton company from making bikes -- patents end you jerks. This is why commuting by bike is too expensive, selfish companies. … And it is sorta funny after they outsourced 90% to China for them to say their own manufacturers didn't know enough, no, they know plenty and were making good similar bikes … I ride a non-folder but everyone knows this stuff.

Absolutely brilliant design for sure. I would love to try one.

Let's move the production to asia to save money for cheap labor! Now you people complain about your product being copied well ask your self.

I think Moulton bicycles are able to avoid this fakery given the high cost of producing the spaceframes, with so many braze points, the materials, and degree of skill needed. Also patents, by which plagiarism would be clearly be proven, not that this would trouble China. Nevertheless, with high end Moultons now up to almost £20k, the cheats are certain to be looking at this market.

Liars, the fakes are good products and cheaper

I prefer the fake ones, if the original wants to sell, put the prices down.

Thank you for giving us Strida!!!

The fake bikes have gotten a lot better since then. I see some here in asia. They are 70% the quality with only 25% the price. I don't buy fakes but understand why people do.

I purchased a copy Strida before I understood that there were counterfeits being sold. My apologies for having done so Mark. I have however, replaced quite a few of the counterfeit's failed parts with genuine STRIDA replacement (upgraded) parts.

Some countries are shameless as well as their people.

The Brompton guy sounds like Phil Schiller of Apple with the "paying attention to detail" part.

why people buy fake? because british brands are over rated and bat shit expensive

First they give licenses for another factories and move production to Asia for dramatically increase income, because British production overpriced for most countries and expensive product not easy to sale. And after factories outside make some extra income with copies. They start to cry and create vids like this one :) So why not keep production on the island and price reasonable for every potential customer? That's the key to success.

get over yourself

Once the nuts and screws are tightened properly on these fakes, there're just as good as the genuine ones.

I want one of these fake Bromptons. Where can I buy one?

What is Real any more !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fake Brand name Spectacles Fake Food Fake Politicians !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fake cell phones Fake Data Prices Fake Plastic Surgery

Now that i've watched this video i decided to go for a fake brompton. Thank you

All these things can be easily adjusted.

I still prefer dahon and tern or xds. but not Brompton.

Good for you getting the word out there.

From the country that made China slaves in the opium trade & the partition of India wants play victim now. Pay back is a FUCKING BITCH!!!

le originali sono davvero troppo care
