Playing with Ai image generation and Rather impressed by this 'Toaster' update

I'm completely in favour of 'Design within Reach', inclusive and non-elitist.... Making quality products affordable to help more end users.

BUT Temu 's copies of Joseph Joseph products are clearly poor quality: The reused Can-Do™ photo with 'JosephJoseph' obviously photoshopped off the release button, along with visibly warped, badly moulded Chop2Pot™.

It's SO galling that end users are being fooled with fakes.

It was a treat to tour Central St. Martins before giving my talk

V pleased that got a mention on road.cc

Taking inspiration from Dutch Omafiets Upright riding position - best for comfort, vision and ease of use - normally anathema to roadies - So chuffed that some ‘proper cyclists’ accept it 🙏

The history of the Strida folding bike, one of the most unusual city bikes ever made Four decades after it was conceived as part of a master's project, the Strida with its 'A-shaped' frame still stands out. You can even roll it round when you're not riding it

So wing spar rigging checked and set.
This 66kg developed by Oz based Ron Wheeler in the 70’s from sailing technology is an elegant masterpiece of minimalist compression and tension working together.
Likewise shows Colin Chapmans elegant approach 🙏

THANK YOU
Clint & team for a great day

eScout strapped down for 1st run up …….. Elon waiting patently in the background for some attention.

Yesssss 66Kg, all up including Batteries. 1st full assembly well under the legal limit (70kg). Still plenty of work to do before 1st hops.

• Отличия моделей STRIDA •
⠀
Стрида — невероятный лёгкий компактный городской велосипед, сделанный с умом:
все тросы спрятаны внутри рамы, приводной ремень вместо цепи с ресурсом более 60 000 км, и смазывать не нужно, надежные дисковые тормоза не требуют частого обслуживания и работают без перебоев в любую погоду, крылья для защиты от грязи, подвижный блок с седлом для индивидуальной настройки посадки, и главное – складные элементы: рама, руль, педали.
⠀
Строго говоря, модели STRIDA – это один велосипед в разных версиях комплектации:
⠀
Strida 5.2 — классика и базовая модификация STRIDA. Является представителем пятого поколения STRIDA, но сохранила первоначальную концепцию 1984 г. Односкоростная модель с 16-дюймовыми колесами, алюминиевым багажником и долговечным универсальным гелевым седлом.
⠀
Strida LT — бюджетная версия классики. Односкоростная модификация с необычными 16-дюймовыми колесами и пластиковым багажником. Колёса с пятью спицами изготовлены из прочного пластика с алюминиевым ободом —это препятствует образованию дефектов колес (таких как восьмёрка и яйцо).
⠀
Strida SX —односкоростная модификация на 18-дюймовых колесах на узкой резине с допуском давления до 8 атмосфер. Такие колеса меньше прощают неровности дороги, зато ощутимо добавляют накат и скорость. Пара лишних дюймов особенно пригодятся высоким людям.
⠀
Strida SD — принципиально отличается от других моделей наличием двух скоростей. Внутренный переключатель произведен по лицензии швейцарской фирмы Schlumpf и встроен в кареточный узел, что позволяет переключать скорости одним легким и движением ноги (пяткой по шатуну). Выбор передач актуален на местности с перепадом высот и для лёгкого старта.
⠀
Итак, 16- или 18- дюймов, одна или две передачи, а главное – выбрать цвет! Велосипеды уже в пути и доступны для бронирования по специально предзаказной цене.

Another ‘Elon’ project brewing - watch this space 🤣

and now EDrive systems (such as ) are lighter than ICE,
The challenge is to ‘simplify and add lightness’
