Lower center of gravity corners better and feels safer. Less altitude if you do fall.
I had this for getting started backafter my knee replacements but within 2 weeks of being able to ride again I was back on a 25 inch road bike, that extra inch or so they put back in my lower legs with the implants and making them straight again did the trick. I still get the folder out though, it's too darn fun!
