I love my pakiT. pakiTs are lighter than tikits were. even though you could roll the tikit better (although I can roll my pakit on the front wheel okay), if you have to go up stairs to transit or your home or office, weight matters. the tikit didn't fold smaller than the pakit, although the hyperfold was faster and the stem did fold. In my mind, if you really prioritize fold you have to get a brompton, nothing else folds as well, nothing. If fold can drop down a little on the list while ride quality moves up, pakiT works fine. A folded tikit isn't nearly as compact as the Brompton so the advantage over pakiT is pretty slim.
The recall fixed the problem the tikit had mechanically, but my understanding is that the tikit was much more time and labor consuming than the pakiT. Just not a cost effective product.
