Resulting in you sitting higher but not actualy mutch further away from your cranks. and becouse of that the bicycle cant be ajusted enough to fit ergonomically.

Assuming it has good horizontal balance.

It's bigger when folded (but still rolls on its wheels). Only slightly heavier than the Strida, it also manages to be a much more ergonomic bike with enough gear-inches to ride for extended distances while keeping the number of proprietary parts to a minimum. Not that I wouldn't buy a Strida for some last-mile riding - I just find my Tikit to be a much more useable solution for what a city bike needs to do.
