Heald + Rokon = Taurus 2x2 All Terrain Bike!

[TrickShot]

Any one come across seeing one of these before? I was browsing YouTube and I came across this cool looking bike. It's a Russian Taurus 2x2 kit you can build yourself, much like the Carl Heald kits I am guessing. It sports 2x2 drive and is lightweight, breaks down to fit in couple small bags for easy transport too. Check out the video and couple links I found.

Super cool but the whole fits in a suitcase is kinda misleading. More like fits into a few suitcase sized bags.
Any idea on the cost and if they import them? Cant be more than a couple hundred i would think.

According to the links, the plans to build one yourself would be about $37 and for a bike $980 if I understand it right.

I don't think it's $1k cool. But still neat.
So many better bikes you could get for that money.
