tikitに、折りたたみ機構を一部簡略化した廉価版が登場。
後半部の、折りたたみ→走行可能状態への時間を見てみると、畳んで開いて約20秒(速)!
普通のtikitよりは時間かかるとはいえ、実用上は全然問題なし。

Jan 3, 2008: New entry level tikitTM offers a more leisurely fold, at a sub-$1000 price.
We like to think of it as "The Friday that will put every commuter on (little) wheels". The new Model "T" is an affordable, entry-level tikitTM featuring a simpler folding mechanism as shown by this more conventional, 'twiddly' stem knob.
It maintains the same famous Friday ride and features as the original, cable-activated 'hyperfolding' tikitTM (available as an upgrade option), and folds just as small.
Priced from $999 (a saving of around $300 on the Hyperfold model) with built to order options.
999ドルからのお値段で、今までのよりも300ドル程度安くなるそうです。

やっぱり、今観ても衝撃的(笑)。
