The company needs to use a different box for this. The bike arrived damaged. The front fork so bent the tire cannot placed on the front fork. The brake caliper for the front brake also will not work because it is bent. The box used is to small with to little padding other than a bit of foam wrap on the forks. Trying to contact the company to either get parts or a replacement. Will update this review accordingly.
6/20/22 Company agreed to replace the bike. They sent a label and I sent mine back, they sent e a new one. The box they use is flimsy so it arrived in nearly the same condition. The forks are NOT PACKED properly for long distance shipping. I decided to bend the forks back myself and somehow , even though the forks look a little shabby if you inspect them I was able to get the tire to go on and fit the brake rotor inside the calipers.
It runs and drives. however some minor issues ,no matter how tight I have the seat or handlebars they slip. I am a bigger guy at just over 200 lbs, after about a mile the seatpost slides slowly to the bottom and my knees hit my face.
The headlight this one came with does not work, no biggie I will just replace it it is a toy anyway.
The horn also does not work. I got a bell instead for my sidewalk rides in the park.
My top speed at my weight of 210 lbs is 24.1 as measured by gps, and 25.4 on the speedometer. Hills are ok. struggles with my fat butt on steep hills dropping to 8/10 mph, but its acceptable for a bike at this price.
So while I a still a little disappointed and this bike is most certainly not perfect. It will do what I need it to and good thing because now Im past 30 days and the company has already sent a replacement. I am not waiting a month for another replacement anyway.
Tire wont go on
