Land speed records every day
The Skitch is the ultimate city-slicking, traffic-flicking, alleycat-slipping, rat race-escaping teleportation device. The powerful and light motor gives you a nudge to spend less time behind a glass windscreen and more time with your knees in the breeze. You’ll look for even more excuses to get on your bike because even a city commute can be as much fun as bike park laps.

Frame Sizing
The Skitch uses S-XXL sizing instead of traditional CM sizing (54, 56 etc.) as the dimensions are vastly different from traditional frames. The Reach/Effective Top Tube Lengths are much longer than typical road or gravel bikes to pair with a short stem. To get a general understanding of how the Skitch will fit, you can look at the Reach+Stem length and compare it to your current bike. As with any bike, stem length can be used to fine-tune the fit, but dropbar Skitch comes with a 70mm stem while the flatbar versions come with an 80mm.
