In order to bring the tech development to market, Strida designer Mark Sanders has transferred the intellectual property rights and know-how for a folding bicycle technology -€œ for bikes with full-sized wheels – to Ming Cycle of Taiwan.

Ming produces bicycles for Mongoose, Carrefour, Decathlon, Jeep and Pacific Cycle.
