Ordered as a gift for our son. Easy to put together. All parts present and correct. And the manual is in English. Winner!
Good for what we needed it for cheap bike to get back and forth to work
Seat was uncomfortable so probably will replace it and was built for a smaller man. A little small for my husband.
All over a brilliant bike and one very happy girl.
easy to assemble, feels good and solid when riding, looks stylish, few people who have asked me about it surprised how cheap….
I absolutely love this bike!! It’s reliable and easy to ride. Easy to assemble, takes ten minutes if you know what you’re doing. Went to Cannock Chase earlier today and it was amazingly grippy going up and down steep hills and around sharp corners. If you want a reliable mountain bike this is the bike for you.
Overall it is a very good bit of kit, although it only has 7 gears they are spaced well for different terrains. One issue I had was that even though I only weigh about 11stone the saddle post was not up to the job and the saddle kept moving no matter how tight I tightened the nuts, the post has since been changed. It is now a 5 star bike.
Overall a good bike… the gears took a bit of tinkering with to get them all working correctly but I did manage to do it, it all ran really smoothly once it was all set up.. the only complaint really were the stickers, some of them had been stuck on really badly so I ripped them off… make sure you check all nuts and bolts and tighten them up securely before riding.
The bike is for my partner and it’s a good starter. Cheap, but heavy! Easy to assemble but trying to tweak the gears so she can use them all is almost impossible. It’s the same for 3 of the schwinn bikes I have so it’s obviously an issue. But for the price it is a better bike than the euro bike also sold on Amazo
The saddle is a little hard and unforgiving, you will want to change that ASAP. The bike has a few miles and trails behind it now and holds up well. The only suspension is up the front end so expect some bumbs and what not at the rear. The 7 speeds suit my riding as really do not need 21 or more speeds for where I ride, brakes are super good and colourway is nice and bright.
Overall bike works well for me.
Update 21/december 2021: They replaced the tyre for me, but I’d to return the whole bike in order to get the tyre changed!
After riding this bike since buying it, I still like it very much, but I would add this. You really need to be a bit mechanical minded to get the best from this bike. For example, it kept jumping out of gear and it wouldn’t go to the 1st gear. What you need to do is to fine-tuneadjust the gears and then its fine. Not too difficult, but still necessary.
All in all, i would still buy this bike again. Its good value for money, quite light and the build quality seems good — but only time will tell for certain.
The disk brakes make lots of noise when decreasing speed, it is a little annoying. I paid a service to improve allignment but improved little. Apart from that very good. I used it almost every day.
Difficult to install guards, gaskets, etc. I 3D printed parts to allow installation of different features.
good bike for the price.nice to ride. had to buy a padded seat cover as seat was a tad hard for me.for the price i cant fault it. i did buy extras.ie.mud guards.
Mostly assembled, front wheel is inflated but back wheel has a slow puncture. But all in all it is a good cycle, not to be used as an all terrains but good with road and pavement. Had a bit of trouble with the seat as the pointy end could not be lowered as the nut and bolt holding in place is painted solid but I won’t give up trying
Hi,I bought this bacicle I love it but the left pedal came with a problem,please can I have another one please thank you
Front tyre came flat. Worried was defective but pumped up fine. Hold for front mud guard isn’t a hole that goes through and through bike casing so mudguard I bought technically fits but comes loose often and rattles. Not issue as can be easily sorted. Otherwise good sturdy bike. Only been out on the road ect once with no real issues. Only time will tell. Seat quite narrow at front so you feel it after first ride but no doubt will get used to. All in all a good buy with few issues to date.
when I was considering purchasing this bike the first review I saw said that the bike was only suitable for children? I am a 60 year old 5’11” fat man and I find this bike a pleasure to ride. I havent even got the saddle and handlebars much above their lowest position and the bike fits me perfectly (standing over it on slightly raised feet the saddle just touches me) so along with many other adults who have given this bike a good review It MOST CERTAINLY IS OK FOR ADULT RIDERS.
The bike comes shipped with the front wheel and handlebars removed (to keep the package size down) so when you receive it you will have to spend an hour or so (or 20 mins if you fix bikes up frequently) putting it together. This is not difficult as long as you can use a spanner, an alen key and some wire cutters to cut the cable ties that hold it all together in the box. All the tools needed to put the bike together are supplied with it along with a 68 page manual (all in english for bikes sold here) that explains how to assemble your bike . The manual is well written and easy enough to follow and along with initial assembly instructions it covers maintainence and safty. One item that is not supplied with the bike that you may want to purchase is a pump. You can either use a car pump or buy a bicycle pump that is suitable for mountain bike tire valves.
Once assembled you may want to adjust the brakes and gears. As shipped from the supplier these are adjusted reasonably but possibly not optimally. I found the brakes a little on the soft side and the gears a little tardy at the extreme’s (first and seventh). for the brakes I think they are supplied soft to reduce the chances of an inexperienced rider launching themselves over the handlebars after heaving on the front brake. Deralier (sp?) gears are always hard to get just right and its probably best to ride it for a while as it comes until everything has bedded down. Instructions for adjusting both can be found in the “Owners Manual” supplied with the bike.
I ride my bike for exercise and a pleasure and usually cover 15 – 25 miles on a ride. I havent ridden a bike for over 10 years so when I get home I am usually sore and tired. I find this bike to be about as comfortable as it could be in the terrain I ride on (forest tracks). On a smooth road its superbly comfortable but even over rough tracks its not bad.
Before you take yours out you may want to replace the bell that comes with it with a decent one, buy a pump and possibly an emergency tire inflator (if you plan on riding over rough paths) and put at least a rear mudguard on it. All of these can be had from Amazon and will add ~ 40 – 50 to the price depending on the items you choose.
Its a superb bike and at less than 200 its a bargain. Its reasonably light, well constructed (good sturdy frame), I think it looks quite nice and it rides very well.
Breaks are mediocre and I wouldn’t trust them on a challenging downhill run.
Gears are disappointing. They keep slipping and are not well aligned. Means I avoid 1st and 7th of the seven gears.
The rubber cover on the right hand handlebar grip (beside the gear shift) has come loose by over an inch after only one 10km ride in the woods.
Only thing I did find first time on bike seat was hard in my view, so i bought a padded seat to fit over the original one . But other than that REALLY HAPPY with this bike ….
