Now guys, there's nothing wrong with Slinshots. I hear lots of good
things about them. But my Comotion Co-Pilot, with couplings, will fit in
a smaller (and more airline-legal) suitcase than a Slingshot, and when
assembled is more like a regular bike. In fact, it IS my regular road
bike. I daresay the couplings, which are completely transparent to the
rider, affect the ride less than the cable-tension suspension on a
Slingshot. It's good, but don't oversell it.

The first mid-suspension Slingshot was introduced (originally as a
non-folding bike) in 1982. The folding frame is our most recent
innovation, and represents the integrity of each original bike in
appearance as well as performance. It is true that the "cable-tension"
suspension affects the rider; the frame compresses up to an inch to soak
up shock, winding with every down pedal stroke and unleashes that energy
on the upward stroke. This patented ingenuity makes the Slingshot a ride
unlike any other...extremely fast and comfortable.
