Giatex:
The Only Variable Length Bike
Sizing is one of the most critical factors in riding a bike. To really enjoy bicycling, the distance between the handlebars, saddle and pedals has to be just right (which is why most bike makers offer models in several sizes). Fortunately, Giatex came up with a way that one bike can suit the sizing needs of most people.
How It Works
The top tube of the Giatex is actually 2 metal
tubes. One is sleeved into the other so that the
distance between the front and rear wheels is adjustable.
Just unlock 2 quick releases, adjust the top tube
length as desired, then lock the releases. Presto.
The result is that anyone from a 6'3" tall
adult to a 9 year old can ride the bike comfortably.
Rolls
Easily When Folded
Unlike most folding bikes, the Giatex rolls VERY
easily when folded. Simply shorten the length of
the top tube, lock the quick releases and roll.
Since the folded bike is rolling on the tires, you
arms will never become exhausted from rolling the
Giatex down a hallway, aisle or train platform and
you still have full use of the brakes if need be.
3 Speeds & Virtually Maintenance Free
The Giatex PNY comes with the 3 speed Sturmey Archer
internally geared hub. Since neither the gears nor
the derailleur are exposed to the weather, the drive
train lasts much longer (and requires less maintenance)
because less components are exposed to road grit.
You can also switch gears whether moving or stopped.
