Jan 2008: NEW tikit Model T - an entry level tikitTM with a more leisurely fold, at a sub-$1000 price.
The new Model "T" is an affordable, entry-level tikitTM featuring a simpler folding mechanism as shown by this more conventional, 'twiddly' stem knob. The fold can be achieved in 10-15 seconds. It maintains the same famous Friday ride and features as the original, cable-activated 'hyperfolding' tikitTM (a cable mechanism enabling a 5 second fold, available as an upgrade option), and folds just as small. Commuters, choose your fold! Watch the Model T folding video |
Oh yes ... and as Henry Ford said: people can have the Model T in any color - so long as it's black. Twiddle, swish, click and go! Call 1-800-777-0257 to order your tikit the way you like it. |
WELCOME to a new, easy-to-use, perfectly sustainable personal mobility device, that just happens to have the same quality ride you expect from a Bike Friday.

AtoB magazine November 2007 review Alan Durnington review on Sightline.org Trailer touring with the tikit. A bit of disclosure ... Alan Durning is a researcher and Journalist who started the North West Environmental Watch Institute, now called Sight Line. He and his staff reasearch and write books about resource use and suggestions of changes and solutions to make the world a better place. Some of his books are "The Car and The City" and " The Secret Life of Everyday Things". He and his family of 4 live car-free in Seattle. Alan Scholz and Hanna have both heard him speak and have a lot of respect for his work. He now flies around the country giving lectures on different aspects of sustainable living, as well as lobbying for change in laws and taxes. Bike Friday loaned him a tikit, trailer and suitcase to use on his lecture trips and around Seattle. Alex Wetmore review Aug 2007 He tinkered with it and we don't mind at all!
