Extremely Useful Bike
As a folding bike, that is the primary design element, and it is assumed that one is looking for a folding bike. I previously used a Schwinn Loop 7-Speed Folding Bike, which I found very useful, but ultimately found it slower than I desired and more work to use, although I was pleased with that bike, I felt I had the room for a larger folding bike to gain additional speed and ease of riding.
It is a 35 lbs, and generally as described and seen in the pictures. There should be no surprises. It is not something one would carry around much, but it is a good bike which one can more easily store in doors and transport by vehicle.
This bike is a good deal. The service from the shipper is seemingly top quality. However, when ordering a bike online, one must be prepared to do assembly and adjustments as needed. While my bike arrived without any issues and no damage, small adjustments were necessary for perfect operation. So keep that in mind when ordering a bike. One can always have an experienced bicycle technician work on it as well. Since it folds, it is easier to transport by vehicle.
For my uses, I added accessories, although I did not swap any parts. To make this useful for me, I added my Schwinn Quick Release Wire Basket to the handle bars, as well as a Bell Dawn Patrol LED Headlight as I ride at night often.
To the rear, I added a Schwinn Alloy Rear Rack, and to that I attached a Wald #582 Folding Rear Mounted Bike Basket (with zip ties), and a RavX Rack Light Rear Mounted Light, which is particularly useful as it mounts to the rack directly.
Now, it is very useful for shopping and can carry quite a lot. It is a pleasant ride and its folding ability does not seem to impact the riding experience for a bike of this design and weight.
I store it only folded at the frame, although one can also fold the peddles, and easily loosen the handlebars and lower the seat completely. The pictures I have uploaded show the end of an actual grocery shopping trip and it folded up. Also, the security measures I have are shown.
