it’s just a run-of-the-mill 26″ cruiser-style bike with MUCH smaller wheels. as the tongue-in-cheek remark above might imply, such a setup is likely an absolute nightmare to pedal, even WITH specialty parts. the person in the pic must be actively counter-heeling over to each side with every stroke, and i’d be SO tired of that after about 5 seconds lol
Looks like a bodge job. Cheap 26″ cruiser frame with 20″ lowrider wheels (probably cost more than the bike). Probably handles like shit and has pedal strikes pretty regularly when turning or on uneven ground. Skid brake on the rear hub for those rare times he actually gets going fast enough to need it.

OP if you want a minivelo, check out the Velo Orange Neutrino.

and not only does this setup have no handbrakes, i doubt it has a coaster brake either. so this rider is either haphazardly stumbling to a stop every single time, OR it’s just a fixed gear, which makes the above-mentioned pedaling nightmare SO much worse 😩
