What makes the Monty superior to your Flevo in your opinion?


Weight. Flevo front part is very heavy and in combination with lack of self centering, one has to struggle making tight turns (i.e. lifting the wheel back to a straight position). Being heavy also makes the Flevo cumbersome to carry.

The seat position is too high for my taste. And the original seat is awful (very upright and badly shaped for my body).

Wheel slip. I don't know why, but the Flevo was a lot more prone to slip on loose gravel or weat leaves than monty is.

Suspension. The twin rubber blocks makes you bounce all over the place.


But still - the Flevo is a wonderful invention.
