Hi Jürgen,
The frame folds twice like the Bipolar, but with a horizontal hinge held down
by gravity / bolt rather than a vertical rear pivot stabilized by seat rise
effect. Initial build weighed in at only 20lbs, 6lbs lighter than the Bipolar,
but after modified with hinge, quick-release seat posts, and throne "proof"
tubes, it gained 2 lbs.
Yep, the hands-free moment right after take-off is still special / surprising
for me, still haven't sunken in yet I guess...
Cheers,
Vi
