It's bigger when folded (but still rolls on its wheels). Only slightly heavier than the Strida, it also manages to be a much more ergonomic bike with enough gear-inches to ride for extended distances while keeping the number of proprietary parts to a minimum.Not that I wouldn't buy a Strida for some last-mile riding - I just find my Tikit to be a much more useable solution for what a city bike needs to do.
