Giatex "Stretching" folding bicycle

Giatex is a Taiwan based company that has a unique style of folding bike. Instead of folding, the frame telescopes in/out reducing the overall length.  The handle bars fold down. The seat drops all the way in.  This one currently has regular pedals but there are many folding pedals available.  Or maybe the MKS plug in pedals would be your speed.  I installed new high pressure 20" tires on that greatly improved the ride.  This bike has a Canadian import sticker on it.  As far as I know, they were never imported in to the USA. Giatex has since changed the basic design from round frame tubes to a large rectangular and slightly angled design. That allows for variable sizes for children to grow with.
