How fast is the fold?

5 seconds flat. No fiddly quick releases, latches or 12-step program to fold it. And no dangly bits either, it's all connected for fumble-free folding. It comes with 8 speeds, a saddle, pedals, fenders and a brass bicycle bell with a nice 'ding'. It features thoughtful details like folding pedals, and an optional front rack and pannier bag
- that stays in place while you swish, click, fold.

The Tikit folds into a 15"x24"x35" space - about the size of a small suitcase, or a trio of cases of beer/soy milk, whatever's your poison. No heavy lifting - it's under 25 lbs, and you can push it along on its own wheels like a cart.

The Tikit comes in 21 size configurations, fitting riders from 4'6 to 6'6", and up to 255 lbs. We use chromoly steel because 'steel is real' - repairable anywhere in the world, and gives the solid ride not generally found in folding bicycles. Several gearing and componentry options are planned for the future, just like you've come to expect from Bike Friday, but for now, we're keeping it beautifully simple with 8 speeds.
