Clearance looks low. I can see it getting grounded on speed bumps or gravel

Therefore there are dropouts for the rear wheel in different heights on the Race Max 28 and the Trexx. The lower droputs are there to get the footboard higher of the ground. That makes riding a bit more exhausting, because the leg on the footboard must be more flexed.

There are techniques to avoid getting grounded, eg. to lift the front wheel.

Mine are both set up with the minimum height - and despite riding for the last 7 years on road and off I haven’t found grounding to be an issue. They are designed to take the occasional hit anyway. One of the Czech manufacturers says that if the paint on the bottom hasn’t been rubbed off, then you’re neglecting it!

I got my Racemax a year after the Trexx (which was my first). It’s really good for longer stuff and you do get a bit more mph with the bigger wheels. I bought it as a frame only because, as a cyclist of many years, I had most of the necessary components anyway.

Along the way I also picked up an ex-demo Yedoo Dragstr (20/20 like your Kostka) which is ridiculously light yet very capable off road with some fat tyres.

Thank you for that advise.

...and core muscles, gluteus, chest muscles and triceps. Fortunately it's all just aching muscles
Footbiking definitely is a full body workout.

But the bug has bitten more than I thought. I'm already looking for 28/28" footbikes. 🙈

I am tempted but worried I would mince my toes in the rear wheel. 😁
