The fork is made out of steel, so, it can add some extra weight to your bike. However, steel is a pretty tough and durable material.
Wheels size

Brakes
When you want to stop the bike in time, the brakes are vital. The SMOOTHIE 3-SPEED has Coaster brakes. Coaster brakes are among the oldest brake types you can find on a bike. However, if your chain falls off or snaps, your coaster brakes won’t function anymore.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
