Thanks BSA for the tips regarding aluminum anodization. I haven’t thought about it. I will look for companies when the time of the mods will come.
Other than this, yesterday I have tried to go back home with the Strida without using train since we have still some good weather. 18km in total. I was a kid again 
Bottom line: totally feasible. People who says that this bike isn’t a bike, well… 
No muscle (quadriceps) soreness at all and no (too much) butt soreness. What is true is that I need to change my seat. The extended stearing bars could be a nice addition too but aren’t mandatory to me. By the way the black version you’ve shown would be terrible on my bike 
. What is certain is that I need to find a solution to sat higher and more at the rear. No emergency, but this would considerably improve the ride in my opinion.
And the choice of seat is so vast that it is difficult. Race-type/lightweight, spring loaded or even noseless…?
