Customer Reviews

An alternative to a Dahon
Although not as light or well built as a Dahon (Broadwalk model), I find this bike to be a decent alternative. Fenders are made of plastic, luggage rack is convienent, nicely supplied nylon protective bag for the bike in the folded position. Front and rear hand brakes, (no coaster brakes). What I didn't like about the bike is that the crank arm is made of plastic. Although thick, it's just chromed plastic. About $40-60 less than the Dahon Broadwalk.

It's a heavy bike for train commuters
First off, It is not that easy to put together and take apart. If you like pinching your fingers on a daily basis, then this is the kind of bike for you. Also, I bought it so I would make the train but it takes forever to unfold it and fold it. It also weights alot more than expected.So, I would say if you think you want to buy a fold away bike go to your local bike shop first then buy online.

Nice Starter Folding Bike!
I'm quite pleased with this bike. I think its a great starter folding bike for a teenager or adult who is new to folding bikes. Everything arrived assembled except for inserting the pedals. Not a real issue at all for me. Also, I'm a heavier rider whose weight is within the maximum range and this bike is durable enough to support me comfortably.

Although one of the pedals folds, it would be more ideal in my opinion to have both pedals fold. Also, I wish they made a lighter weight version of this bike with atleast a 3, 5 or 6 speed internal hub shifter.

Overall this bike is a bargain, rides okay for the city and along paved bike trails.
