Reviews OK for what it is  by: on: 08-Jun 2009 It's a 29 lb. folding bike! It's a 1-speed, but geared low enough to make it up hills easily. You won't go real fast unless to pedal fast because of the low gear ratio. Not bad for a basic commuter & run-about folding bike. Actually quite fun as a casual cruiser bike too. It's all heavy steel, except for the rims, which seems to be steel-reinforced aluminum. Plastic outer shell over steel pedal cranks. Steel fenders really do work to keep water from splashing up on you in rain. Brakes seem well designed & work well. Reflectors are on the back of the seat, pedals, & on the rear carrier to offer some basic safety at night. Yes... it does have a solid functional steel carrier on the back! Shock absorber really does work to save my over 50 year old butt from hurting when driving through the countless Buffalo potholes & bumps. Kickstand seems fine to me... contrary to a previous reviewer. Tires are excellent, sturdy, knobby, mouintain bike style, to give you excellent traction & stability on any terrain, but because of the type of bike it is, I wouldn't be doing much off-roading on it... esp. if you weigh more than about 160 lbs. But through grass & typical dirt trails in the park, it does just fine. It's just not for fast, rough riding terrain. It you want that, you should buy a bike designed for the task. Rim alignment was perfect, but the bike came shipped with no air in the tires. For the price, size, I'm surprised it came with what it did, & was solid, for a fold up bike. I'm really enjoying riding it, & it's convenience. No carbon fiber or space age alloys here. It's light because it's small. It's solid because it's steel. But it's all 1950s technology. It's really easy to carry folded up when you grab the handle-like metal under the back seat. Unfolded, there's no easy way to carry it with one arm. The cell phone pix I posted here of it were at work, where I don't always need to fold it up, so no folded pix. I keep it folded in my back hall with other clutter, so didn't take a pic of it there. Basically I wanted a basic light bike, that I can easily carry up stairs. I didn't care if it folded. It takes about 3-5 seconds to fold or unfold it. The bad: The carton it came in looks like it was through a war zone thanks to UPS! Parts of the bike were protruding out of the carton. It looks like UPS did some massive taping up of the carton after destroying it. The bike was well wrapped in bubble wrap to prevent damage. But even so, front brake, & fenders were bent, & there's a small but barely visible dent on the main support frame. No parts were missing, & I was easily able to straighten out the bent parts. The manual doesn't say much. There isn't too much assembly needed out of the box, but you do need to be a little mechanically inclined to figure it out. If you're not, find a friend, relative, or neighbor who is. You'll need a wrench or pliers, & an allen (hex) wrench (for the brake levers), to assemble it. You'll need a very, very, thin wrench to put on the pedals, any regular wrench won't fit in there. I ended up screwing the pedals tightening them fairly with gardening shears. Then got air in the tires, took it to work where I was lucky enough to have 1 wrench in my shop that fit the pedals & tighten them the rest of the way properly. Also you'll need an air pump. Make sure the stuff already assembled is tightened up well... including folding, steering, & seat clamps! Tighten the seat nuts well too. The front tire was tightened too much, creating drag, so I had to un-losen the nut a little. It took about 2 hours to assemble, mainly because of the pedals. Beware on most bikes the pedal tightens on one side by turning them counter-clockwise, & the other side clockwise. You can strip & ruin the threads by forcing the pedals & turning them the wrong way. I wanted a black one, but they sent me a red-orange one. In that color, I feel a little like pee-wee Herman riding it. It gets some looks & nobody's laughed at it yet. But I do get a lot of compliments about it from inner-city youths, minorities, & little girls... My bosses think it's cool. I was just gonna paint it black myself, but already have gotten used to it just the way it is. It has a rounded bit of metal under the pedals so you can stand it upright, folded all by itself without it scratching your floors. When I first got it out of the box I hated it. When I assembled it I hated it. After using it a lot I love it. This is a SMALL bike. It probably wouldn't be comfortable to ride if your over 5'7". At 5' 6 1/2" It just barely suits me with the seat & handlebars up all the way. Not for rough use or people over 160lbs either. This is a no-name brand Chinese bike, with Chinese print on the tires. It took them 3 days to get around to shipping it. Then I tracked it in a different city in California every day for almost a week before it finally left the state. I find this is typical of most stuff I order from California or Oregon. UPS seems to take the product on a tour of the entire state for about a week before it finally leaves the state & is on it's way. With tax & shipping it cost me a little over 100 bucks. bicycle  by: on: 27-Apr 2009 It is very very very bad bicycle. I do recommend not to buy it. folding bike OK value for price  by: on: 01-Aug 2008 I recently purchased the 16" folding bike. It is what it is and for $69 I knew that I wouldn't receive a high quality bike. It arrived quickly and folded open to riding position easily and quickly. The rear wheel and chain were too tight, so I took the rear wheel off and greased the bearings and adjusted the chain and lubed it. The kick stand is poorly designed so I took it off. The seat post is rather short, so if you are over 5' 7" tall, the seat will be too low. After greasing bearings and adjusting the chain, I took it for a test ride and it was fun to ride. The rear brake is a band and the front is a weak caliper, but it stops well enough considering the bike won't be going that fast. The frame is sturdy enough for a light person under 160 lbs. The paint looks like a rattle can job and scratches easily (my bike is black). I recommend replacing the pedals with folding pedals to make transporting the bike folded easier. It folds down quickly and needs a bungee cord to hold it together when transporting. I bought the bike for use on business trips, and I felt it was a good deal. If you have some mechanical skills and don't mind an evening of overhauling the bearings and making adjustments, then this would be a fun bike. If you want a sturdier folding bike that will see daily commuter duty and be folded time and again on public transit, then look for a bike by Dahon or Breezer and plan on laying down a lot more cash. So, overall: fun bike, you get what you pay for and it works for the purpose I bought it for-business trips a few times a year when I can't take my regular bike. View All Folding Bikes |
