 The basic Model T tikit® - in any color you like as long as it's black - starts at $999 "ride away". Buy it direct from your local tikit® Agent. Pictured here with the optional rear rack. It folds almost as fast as the 5-second Hyperfold option. |
The optional Quick Transit Cover with integrated carry handle makes your tikit® a stealthy, compact package that can get into places a regular bike cannot - many office buildings, peak hour trains and buses, restaurants and shops, and more. It will also fit into a standard Bike Friday Compact TravelBag for over-the shoulder-carrying.
 The Model T tikit® folds by unwinding a single 'spin knob' to release the stem (see arrow) - it takes a few seconds to fold. Saddle and pedals are included; fenders, racks and the Quick Transit Cover are options on this Standard model. A convenient handle lets you roll all tikit® models on the rear wheel when folded.

 The standard Hyperfold model, also called Just the tikit® folds in less than 5 seconds using a patented cable mechanism instead of the knob on the Model T. Watch a movie clip of the Hyperfold in action | Watch it in detail |
 Just the tikit® comes in any color you like as long as it's Cream Soda Blue. At $1295, it comes complete with pedals, saddle, fenders, Quick Transit Cover. |
