I will be going to Taipei soon and love the new foldable bike, Strida3. Awesome thing

They cost about 480000 over here for the newest model, but would I be better off getting one in Taipei?

That looks pretty cool! I wonder if it is comfortable to ride, though. Anyway, I managed to find couple links. HERE is one of them. They mention NT$ 8500 which is around KRW 240 000. I don't have any clue how much you have to pay to bring it to Korea... can't be that much, right?

Bring a big suitcase or find it online and have them ship.

I actually test rode one along the Han River. It was smooth but was also
pretty agile. The most recent model comes with disk brakes. The bikes weigh about 11kg, not bad. If they are that cheap over there, then I will pick up a few of them!! Well maybe not, but get a nice one for me.

If you get one for yourself, could you post on this thread how you brought it to Korea and how much did it cost? I'll be going to Taipei later next week and might get one for myself as well.
