I have a medium and large Tikit. I'm at the low end of the size range for the large, but prefer it a lot more than the medium. I think the longer wheelbase and being further behind the front wheel make a considerable difference. I can ride the medium, but I feel cramped and frankly it feels like folding bike [a bit small!]. OTOH on my large Tikit I feel like I'm riding a full size bike and really enjoy the more stretched out position.

If you can test ride a large Tikit I'd definitely recommend you do so.
