bicycles are great vehicles for boaters, campers and travelers. Folding
bikes also reduce the chance of theft and vandalism. After all, you
will always have the folding benefit with folding bikes.

A:
Our 20" models are rated for riders up to 230 lbs (105 kg), with height
from 4'10" to 6'3" tall. Bazooka 20" wheel bikes do not offer
telescopic stems due to safety reasons. Telescopic stems are 2 or 3
piece tubes that wiggle and are not safe while riding. A 2-piece stem
is never as strong and sturdy as a one-piece stem.
