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.

Our 26" models are rated for rides up to 250 lbs (114 kg), with height from 5'6" to 6'." Tall.

These guidelines may vary slightly depending on your riding style and preferred riding position.
