Available in store
CloseThe 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.

The slick, light space-age carbon frame contains the 430 Wh battery and silent, frictionless Fazua Ride 60 motor.

The Skitch is available as a drop bar long-range
gravel bike or a flat bar alley cat raider. Either way,
it's fast, light, and slick.
Choose either the flat bar version for upright but not
uptight urban riding or the drop bar for tucked but
not tuckered-out all-surface adventures.
The Skitch is built for those who want to ride as much as possible while supporting their weekend cycling habit. Commutes become wild fun, an extension of reckless off-road misadventures. Spend less time behind the wheel and more time on two wheels. The Skitch is guaranteed to improve your well-being.
More miles.
More smiles.

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.
If you're on the cusp between the recommended height range of two sizes it's best to try to ride them both. If riding the bike is not an option consider that not all bodies at a given height are the same. If you have longer legs and a shorter torso than the average person your height, that may push you towards the smaller of the recommended sizes. If you're all torso and arms, most likely you'll want to size up.
Consider how you are planning to use the bike when deciding on frame size (if you're not able to ride them). If you plan to use the bike for longer, more sporting rides- err towards the larger size when in doubt. For more urban usage, you may prefer something a little shorter and more upright.
