I got this bike a long time ago as a way to commute back and forth to my University. After my first attempt to assemble the bike I ran into some issues with installing the steering/handlebar portion. Though I have assemble a bike before I never ran into this issue and decided to revisit the issue another day. After over a year of this bike just sitting in my garage, I am regretting the purchase and am convinced I have to bring this to a bike repair shop. Not a great experience for me. I WOULDN'T BUY THIS!

Un poco complicado el armado, los pies en los pedales topan con la llanta, el manubrio se siente muy flojo aun cuando ya esta apretado según el manual.Solo la recomendaría si es tu primer bicicleta.

The bike arrived nearly 5 days late—when assembling, I noticed the seat had multiple tears in it. Because it arrived later than expected, I didn’t have time to return it, so my son gets a defective seat. Disappointed mom here

Look, this bike isn’t going to win any awards for design, weight, performance, or components. The tires will cause you grief if you take it on a MTB trail.…ok now that my fellow bike snobs are gone, let’s talk about this great casual bike. This is a fairly heavy steel frame bike with basic amenities like a front shock. The saddle is a fairly standard one that would be at home on a street bike, which is what many mountain bikes come with. It’s comfortable enough if you are accustomed to this kind of saddle, and is easily replaceable if you prefer something softer, more akin to a cruiser, or with anatomical cutouts for pressure relief. The saddle is also the only place there is a quick release lever on the bike. I would prefer them on my wheel hubs, but that’s not a deal breaker. I’ve just had one too many flats and would rather not need to carry a 13mm wrench with me on a ride.Let’s talk about the wheels. They are not bad, and the pattern is directional, so be aware of the arrow when installing the front wheel. They may be ok for a well groomed gravel trail, but the tread is really more suited to city riding and will provide some extra grip if you hit a wet patch.The breaks are side pull and adjustable. In fact, you will need to adjust them as part of assembly, so read the entire setup section so you know what to do. The frame does have mount points for center pull calipers if you prefer those.The hearing is nice for city cruising, and the twist to shift selectors are easy to use. While the front selector only has 2 gears to choose from, it also has about a dozen stops between “H” and “L”. That’s annoying if you’ve tuned everything correctly as you really only need two positions, but it does allow a little leeway in adjusting. How so? Good question! If you shift the rear gears and something is just slightly out of alignment, a click one way or the other on the front derailleur will quiet the chain rubbing. That’s nice and beginner friendly, so bonus for that.The handlebar stem is a fairly low profile, so you will be leaning forward over the frame, but it isn’t so long you’ll have your face over the headset as is popular with more aggressive riders. It’s a quill type stem, and if you prefer a more upright posture, it’s not an expensive or difficult piece to replace.Assembly isn’t too bad, but you will need tools. Metric Allen key wrenches, a cross head screw driver, and a set of open end metric wrenches. If you have combo wrenches with a ratchet in one end, those will be best and can tighten everything but the pedals. For those use either an open ended wrench, or an adjustable one. I used my beloved channel locks, as they have both the ability to properly close around a nut and thinner jaws than my adjustable wrench.My one mistake was on size. I usually ride a 26” frame and am 5’10”. The top bar on this bike would make a quick stop, well, uncomfortable. Not going to stop me from enjoying tooling around town, I’m just going to be using a curb whenever I have a chance at stops.Overall, I am really enjoying tooling around on this bike and look forward to my town’s monthly glow ride. A fun social ride at dusk every month.

Bike is very nice. You may need two people to assemble it, although assembling it is not difficult to do.Seat is quite narrow, so, I recommend upgrading it for a wider, cushioned bike seat.Had to contact the manufacturer for a warranty issue. The response was superb, and the issue was solved within days. I recommend this bike and manufacturer.

It was a little hard to put together but it was worth it

Great choice, my daughters loves them.a bit difficult to assemble, but doable, and good quality.

Beautiful bike, no complaints works great.

Ordered this for my son’s 12th birthday. Amazon delivered on time and it came mostly out together which was awesome— no messing with the break lines or chain etc. y husband was able to finish the job fairly easily although be aware that the instructions are generic for more than one model ad it confused my husband because some of the instructions were already done for us— so if you get confused, it’s because it is steps that the factory did ahead of time. It is the perfect height for my kiddo at 5’ tall, and he has room to grow and raise the seat so it should last him for a while. I’m assuming the quality is good— he’s only ridden it for about an hour and he isn’t experienced with shifting gears yet, so I’m going on an assumption here.
