but if you want a 14" high seat, 3 disk brakes (1 with lock) and about 21 speeds- that is what I began with. Steers OK, took mechanical changes , a full fairing, and a motor very well over 5+ years. I recently got a used Catrike- you have to be Popeye the Sailorman to steer that trike and it is very low to sit in. The Sun is easy in comparison but not as much fun on hills or sharp turns. For longevity; my SX has lasted.
