When choosing a vehicle, several points should be considered.

• First of all, you need to decide in what conditions you will use it. Various models have been developed for different tasks. You should not buy a regular classic urban bike for extreme trips: it is not intended for this. Of course, you will make several trips on it, but at the same time you will see a mismatch of transport to the highway. And the risk of injury in such cases increases sharply - because the brakes of public transport may not cope on a difficult site.
• The age of the user is also of great importance. Buying a teenager "for growth" is not worth it, because it is designed for higher growth, and when riding the child will be very tense and tired, which, in turn, increases the possibility of various injuries.
• Price issue. You do not need to save on a purchase, but you should not overpay either.
