Trek folding bike

This Trek folding bike is compact and great. I am a big guy and this thing make biking as easy as riding a stationaryTrek folding bike on the easiest setting (even up hills). I am going full speed with very little pedaling effort. My only complaint is that the seat feels like it is a bit high so it is hard for my old mother to experience the exhilarating joy I get from riding thisTrek folding bike

ThisTrek folding bike may seem underpowered, but I think there are governmental regulatory factors as well as cost factors that have this bike as fast as it is (18mph).I guess if you want something faster you will need to spend like $3k on aTrek folding bike that would probably need to have tags or something. This thing makes me feel like a little kid without feeling the out of shapeness of my age.Trek folding bike is the best.

Schwinn folding bike

I bought the Schwinn folding bike a month ago and have been using it about 3x per week since then to commute to my office. It's a gas (no pun intended). Since I don't like arriving all sweaty to work, I save the pedalling for the ride home and use throttle power only on my way to the office, which takes about 30 minutes for a gentle, mostly on the sidewalk, 4-mile ride. Even thoughSchwinn folding bike's still got plenty of juice left in the battery - certainly enough to get me home again - I still take the charger with me to work so I can fully recharge it before heading home (I also chargeSchwinn folding bikewhen I get back home). After a 4-mile ride, it fully recharges in only about 2-3 hours. I LOVE this little bike and look forward to riding Schwinn folding bike every time. The tires are tiny at only 16", and there are no gears, so you're not going to go very fast on pedal power only but, add the throttle, and you can cruise along at a respectable pace. Others in the bike lane will fly by you, however, so if your ego has a problem with that, this isn't the Schwinn folding bike for you. But I'll trade speed for portability anyday, which this bike has in spades. The throttle-assist is also great for any uphill portions of the ride. TheSchwinn folding bike arrives only partly assembled so, if you're not mechanically inclined (which I'm not), be prepared to have some help standing by (which I did). Also, once assembled, it's a good idea - and worth the extra money

New folding bike review

My perchase of a folding bike review loop 7-speed folding bike was somewhat dissappointing. When i unpacked my purchase the rear carrier had a large spot on folding bike review where the paint was rubbed off. The packageing was verry short on proper padding,I don't believe the shipper was at fault as the box looked pretty good.I called the only phone number that i could find on my paper work to ask if i could perchase some touch up paint and was told that they could not do that,And to go to a hobby shop and try to find the paint that i needed. I could not find the proper color that would match so now i have a new folding bike review.

Latest fold bike for family

The fold bike for family is one sweet bike! I got it for my daughter, a college student, so she could ride around campus for exercise. It's light to me but a bit heavy for her. She still can get it in and out of her car okay. She loves fold bike for family. It folds/unfolds quickly with a little practice and is just darned cute. The fit and finish are excellent. The box arrived a bit crumpled from shipping but the fold bike for family itself was padded and secured in all the right places and emerged pristine and required only minor tuning and some more air in the tires. I'd recommend this little wonder to anyone.

Fun folding mountain bike

I just received folding mountain bike from Amazon last week, set it up immediately, and only took it to the bike store to make sure of everything. It does NOT ride like a toy, as one customer said, but is far more steady than any Dahon I've ridden. It's a bit too heavy for me to lift up, but others may not find that a problem. Once you get the catch open - it's difficult because a lot of pressure is needed, but that's for safety reasons -folding mountain bikefolds easily. For a man, this would be easier. An absolute pleasure to have the LOOP AT THE BOTTOM, AND NOT TO HAVE TO PUT MY LEG OVER A HIGHER BAR. The handle bar is fixed and can't be adjusted, but it's fine for me. The seat is adjustable, though. Goes up hills easily. folding mountain bike is far superior to the citizen bikes, in my opinion, with their rickety chain that falls off easily. It is rather larger than appears in the pictures, so look at the specifications carefully. I was surprised that Schwinn put it into such a shabby carton for the trip from China and then to other places before it came to me.

What a fun little bike this is! It folds well,

What a fun little bike this is! It folds well, they were very thoughtful about the placement of everything when folded. It's very sturdy.I compared it to the Dahon, and while that is very slick and expensive this serves the purpose just as well.It does ride like a toy bike but with 20" wheels thats about what you expect. My range on it is about 10 miles round trip. That's about as far as i'm willing to go. More than that and you'd want a big bike. But it is perfect for city shopping and upstairs apartment living. I would buy it again.
Oh, you do want to take it to the bike shop for a tune up and adjustments beofre you ride it, though. I hear that's normal for all online bikes. The bike shops tune and adjust for you if you buy from them. Add that to the cost when thinking about prices.

I looked at a lot of bikes before making a final decision

Amazon came through again with the best price on the web. It was such a good deal that I bought two! With no sales tax and free two day "Prime" shipping, I figure that I saved $200 over store retail for the pair. Packing was about as good as one would expect. There were a couple of small nicks to the frame but a black Sharpie fixed them to where one does not notice. Other than that there was no damage. As other buyers have stated it is a tad heavy (38 lbs?), but that is a testament to its solid construction. The rims are somewhat narrow but I plan to ride more for pleasure than sport. For those two reasons I rated this bike a four out of five stars. If the manufacturer could change those two features it would be a solid five star mountain bike. I am 6'3" and the frame fits me fine when straddled (it measure 31" at the upper cross bar). I would have liked a higher handlebar height but I can live with it...Thank goodness I have long arms!

I looked at a lot of bikes before making a final decision...All were considerably more expensive with the same basic features. If you plan to ride aggressive this may not be the bike for you...But for street and light off roading it is a real bargin at $229.95.

This is a good bike

This is a good bike - the best feature is the dual suspension. Light and easy dropping off curbs on the way to work - huge difference from my hardtail mountain bike.

Disc brakes are nice to have, on front and rear - work much better than rim brakes. To adjust them hold the brake lever in and tighten them down via a hex wrench on the opposite center of the disc brake until the pads are flush against the disc, then turn back until the brake lever has enough play in it.

The rims are v-shaped, and narrow - much more so than my other bikes. It was quite a job to add tuffy liners to to the tires. I think I will have a bike shop change the tire next time they need it. The hard part is getting the tire off and on those narrow rims. The people at REI said to squeeze on the sides of the tire as you put it on, so both ends go deep into the rim.

Folding recumbent bike

-This is a greatFolding recumbent bike. Every where I ride it, I get people staring at me, wondering what kind of Folding recumbent bike it is. Sometimes, I even get a thumbs up, or a "nice bike!".
-Great for biking on gravel, grass, and uphills.
-The instruction pamphlet is a joke. Several pages that tell you how to install training wheels. (the seat is so tall, no child can safely ride Folding recumbent bike) There's even fewer pages that tell you how to assemble the front wheel (THE MOST IMPORTANT TOPIC!)
-When the seat is completely lowered, Folding recumbent bike is still very tall. I'm 5'6" and I have to stand on my toes just to sit on the seat. What a joke!
The designers/manufacturers want extremely tall and light people to ride this?
-Though the seat is huge and has massive shock absorbers, its very uncomfortable riding on uneven surfaces. (due to the small tires)It feels as if you're sitting on a hard metal beam that's thrusted on your backside whenever you hit/bike over the slightest bump. However, the speed of the bike makes up for this design flaw.
-Although this Folding recumbent bike is fold-able, it isn't compact enough for most spaces. You might as well leave it unfolded to save more space and a backache.
-The top speed is misrepresented. By my GPS (which is accurate to my car's speedometer), the top speed I can go without pedaling is 12MPH (downhill). Folding recumbent bike still very very fast but should go a lot faster.
The great Folding recumbent bike.

Lightweight folding bike

I can't currently drive my car due to a medical condition. I needed something to get around on (apparently not even supposed to operate a moped but that's stupid florida law for you) and this seemed to be the only option that didn't require any type of operator's permit. Federal law limits this sort of bike to 20 mph maximum speed. I was told that currie makes good Lightweight folding bike, I priced them locally and they were a bit high I thought so I started looking on the net and found amazon's price a lot lower than what others and shops were selling it for. I got the Lightweight folding bike last thursday, it was mostly assembled all I had to do was attach the pedals and the riser off the fork/handlebars and put the front tire on, not much at all but the instructions that come with the bike were not made for a novice, first I couldn't figure out how to release the front brake so I could mount the tire (you pull up on the black metal piece to release it) then I couldn't figure out how to tighten the riser off the fork (you have to open the folding joint and the hex screw is hidden inside there)...the rest wasn't bad. The third problem (same one I have with all bikes) is that I'm only 5 feet tall and the seat was way too high for me even all the way down, every time I stopped I nearly dumped the bike over. The solution to that was to have a fried cut about an inch and a half off the end of the seat tube and then to also loosen the seat screws under the seat and tip the front down a little bit to make it easier to get on; between these two fixes I can now deal with stopping without dumping the bike every time. Before you ride the Lightweight folding bike the first time charge the battery overnight (it says 8 hours but the first charge should be extra long) these are sealed lead acid batteries, heavy as heck and should last about three years of daily use.This is The great valuable Lightweight folding bike
