Great first folding bike After i returned my Vilano Tempest, i ordered this bike. This was my second pick when I was shopping for the first one. The only reason i passed this one was because this was 1 speed. I thought having 7 speeds was better. But after receiving the Vilano in bad condition, i decided to give 1 speed a chance.When i received the box, I already felt good. There was only one minor damage on the box, a few small tears. When i opened it, i noticed how well the bike was packed. Good plastic…
LOVE THIS BIKE except……………………….. I bought one of these bikes about 5 years ago and love it. I bought it online but not from Amazon. It was $200.00. Bought my husband one exactly like mine a few months ago for $266.00. Now I see they are $29?.00!!!!! They keep going up like everything else!!!! But any way we love them EXCEPT for one thing. I haven’t read but a few reviews but didn’t see anyone else have this problem in the ones I read…..It happened one other time and happened when we took the bikes out of van to bike ride…
Good Bike – a review from a commuter in Chicago I bought this bike for my commute from the North suburbs of Chicago to the office in downtown. I needed a bike that can be taken on the train in rush hour as folded and placed in a bag.I wasn’t surprised that the bike was slightly damaged when I took it out of the box thanks to my research before purchasing it. The paint on the frame had some marks and the plastic wheel reflector was broken and fell off the rear wheel. As someone mentioned in the reviews: a little bit more care…
