The Java Neo 3 is worth the money, as it is lightweight and yet sturdy. The bike is near-perfect for bike commuters who enjoy bimodal commutes. Read more.
Not nearly as bad as you might think, around $1400 USD for the top of the line model. They also sell steel ones for around $800 if I recall. I was looking at these because they can accomodate a hub drive without a tensioner due to the way the rear triangle is built. On the other hand, wireless 12 speed sounds pretty sweet so now I’m looking at just buying the carbon version because it’s so light. I’d have to redo the saddle post, handlebars, and cabling though, which kinda sucks.
Plus, I already have a Priority Folder I like quite a bit (though it’s heavy compared to the Java carbon and lacks suspension).
Yeah, I keep thinking about how great a super light trifold could be but I’m still not sure about the cost since I’ve already got a good folding bike, but on the other hand, N+1…

Carbon would definitely be nice. It does get laborious to lift and carry the bike around.
