Yes, the saddle height is fully adjustable with a quick release clamp. We typically recommend you slide the seatpost and saddle all the way down when folding the bike in order to create the smallest folded size possible.

Hi Jeff. We do not make any children’s bicycles and our bikes should not be ridden by anyone under 14 years of age. Regarding frame sizes, you can use the following recommendations for all models:
Small (16″/17″): 4’8″ – 5’2″
Medium (18″/19″): 5’3″ – 5’10”
Large (20″/21″): 5’11” – 6’4″

All bike saddles are indeed universal. You can mount any aftermarket saddle on your seatpost. Most bike shops will let you try out a few different saddles to find one that’s comfortable for you. It is the most often customized part on most bikes as everyone is different.

I bought a Montague X50 and I’m pleased with the quality of it, but I definitely need a new, more comfortable saddle. I’m really new to all of this, but think I can find the type of saddle I need; the question is …..is there any particular type of mechanism/fixing that relates to my bike in terms of a replacement, or are all saddles universal?

I would like to know what the maximum weight capacity is for the Montague Crosstown as I weigh about 210 lbs and I may plan to install a baby seat for my child as well. At other times, I also carry about a work bag weighing 15-20 lbs so I would consider installing a rack.

Thank you.
