The thing is the Kwiggle is not just small but offers a new way of cycling which is much better for your body and uses more muscle groups than normal cycling. You have to ride one to understand :-)

It is affordable for the workmanship and materials used. All stainless steel and aluminium.

It means that you can brake as hard as you like without danger of toppling over. The brakes work like abs on a car. We have customers that have already drove 7000km without any wear to the drivetrain.

No you don't. I ride a Kwiggle every day through the woods. It's much more stable than it looks. :-)

Great idea. We'll look into it. :-)

The Kwiggle is made of stainless steel and aluminium nothing to rust. Have a look here for how quickly you fold the Kwiggle: https://youtube.com/shorts/9kmqY4RpZ6Q?feature=share

Due to the moving saddle you use more muscle groups and because of the seating position there is much more pressure on the pedals. You use your weight much more with this bike than an ordinary bike where all the weight on the saddle.

Due to the swinging saddle you use more muscle groups in your body and there is also more pressure on the paddles.

Yes you can :-)

The Kwiggle is the most compact folding bike in the world and introduces a new way of riding a bike due to the moving saddle. This allows for more pressure on the pedals and thus more efficiency.

That is not correct. The rider can be up to 100kg.

It is very easy to ride fast on the Kwiggle.
