Two wheels, three tubes, three joints and a low maintenance drive belt. The simplicity of the design of the Strida, especially its folding mechanism, has made it a favourite among riders in cities around the world.

Even at 30 years old the design is still as clean and fresh as ever, boosted by a new black and orange livery in a commemorative S30 edition.

The 30 year anniversary has been commemorated by this special S30 edition
