Now it can be a nice guy, but he is just "pushing" Made in China boxes.

Nothing in common with Bike Friday that really has US designed and US built bikes and really is a small local business or the Xootr Swift that was a real original design.
Nope, we are an American business. Bike Friday makes their frames in the US, but the components are sourced from overseas. We do import all of our components, but final assembly is done here on the Lotus. We are a small business, with small overhead, and we have fun every day.
