If it costs more than the new $2300 IF MODE, selling the bike will be tough. With the MODE's fluid & fast folding action, enclosed drive train, clean lines, perfectly parallel wheels (when folded) and built in hand hold (for rolling the bike when folded), the MODE is the new gold standard in folding bikes. The Switch folds easily enough but the wheels are not exactly in line, making the Switch awkward to roll folded. When folded, the Switch is bigger than the MODE and the drive train is totally exposed (resulting in more maintenance than the MODE). All the same, it is impressive that Robert designed this bike at just 23... An interesting concept to be sure but the price will be high.

What's the price and weight. Speed (gears) also. Looks so rad. I'd say it'd be priced around the A$4,000 mark due to low production, carbon fibre and novel design. Worth at least $2,500 me thinks. Anyone to get me info I'll give them a $50 finders fee if I can buy one before 1st August 2009. Twitter me at h**p://www.twitter.com/AdamoGiovane I second that Phil. What’s the price and weight.
