These look really good, just wondered if anyone on here has tried one.
I wonder if there's anywhere near Reading I could test ride one.

I like the idea of being able to use trains, and maybe venturing off
tarmac now and then.

bloody sharp edged hinge in front of the stokers knees. IMO it never got
designed, just drawn on the back of a fagpacket using bits they had
lying about

Bear in mind the folded dimensions exceed the one metre railway definition
of a folding bike.

Do you think they would accept it in the same way as an ordinary
solo?
I haven't really tried taking my ordinary tandem on a train.
I wonder how well they cope off road. I like the idea of full
suspension and 700c wheels fatish tyres mudguards and hub dynamo.
I might try and find a test ride, nearest dealer looks like Yorkshire
or Glasgow. I hope they still make them by the time I've saved up.
