Now, if someone goes outside the holiday time, also like almost at every holiday place, there are few people.

The max height given by Btwin is defined by the length of the seatpost that is long enough for up to 195cm.

But the position of cyclist 195cm tall will be completely uncomfortable with its knees almost touching the handlebar (look at the pictures of the two male riders on the Btwin, these were published by Btwin).

I showed this bike because the famous 16" Fnhon Gust (that Ron seem to uses seldom, most pictures of long distances ride he published show the FSIR Spin 5 with ETRTO406 wheels) is not available in Europe. The two other bikes bi-fold (Fnhon Storm and Literpro Spyder) showed by Ron were never used because still not completely mounted.
Seems that Btwin took a 305 wheel folder added long seatpost and handlebar as to sell it to Europeans. As it appears, I could probably ride it. Would I want to, though? It is designed for Europeans, except for the frame, but what does that matter? It may have been designed from the ground up for Europeans but if so, not well. Seems like the geometry angles could have been tweaked to extend the reach. It is interesting that they went with single bladed forks. Likely to save on fold space That may account for why it is priced as high as it is. I also don't like that they put a light where the luggage block should be.
