Bikes that fold and fit in your douche bag dont ride as well, they're not as tight. This bike was designed for the quality of ride, so it doesnt fold as much. I suggest you get a Dahon and then realize the shallowness of your comment. Eff you EffDat. Eff you. Bill EffDat,

Like everyone said, the frame is stiff. I am looking for another folder as the one have got a crack in the frame. Can't really blame the bike as I weigh about 245# and doubt it was made for someone as heavy as me. This was a prototype from China btw. Anyways I'm in the market for another folder and I think it's between the Xootr and KHS F20. I haven't rode the KHS so I couldn't say anything about it. I really like how they designed the Xootr so it would have to be a pretty good sales pitch by KHS. Great move on Xootr part to make it easy for the owners to swap out parts. I owned a Dahon and that was one thing I hated, hard to customize the thing. I hope it's a new dawn here in the states and we'll start seeing more of these bikes of this style and caliber from other makers.

Fast and great handling. Switched out to a moustache bar and CrankBros Candy pedals, as I found the stock bar too short (tall riders like me take note!). Love it. BTW, my tubes came as Schraders.

I've taken the bike off-road as well, the bike holds up pretty good. No slippage, no loosening, the quality of the Swift is excellent.

The Xootr is a folder so it hinges. The release per your video looks like an adjustable seatpost clamp thingy. Any problems with "slippage" or the hinge "loosening" up. Does the fit stay tight over time or is the bike getting sloppy? Thanks. That works.
