Recumbent Bike. I really have enjoyed my Stamina 15 0200 In Tone Folding Recumbent Bike. However there were some deep scratches on the back of the seat back made by UPS before delivery.
All in all, I am very satisfied with the performance.
Buy Hooks instead. Like others have experienced, the cords fall apart. A better solution is to buy two large hooks that screw into the ceiling studs, and hang the bike upside down by the rims. There are hooks that have rubber covers and do a better job than the Racor lift.
great pump. pumps 120psi quickly and easy. I hoped Topeak Road Morph G Bike Pump with Gauge would be short enough to fit in the back of my jersey pocket but it kept falling out. The mini morph might have fit but i liked the gauge on this one. But it mounts to the frame just fine, I just had to get rid of one of my water bottles.
Topeak Explorer Bike Rack . I recently purchased an entry-level Schwinn bike to ride to work and to run errands in the face of $4 a gallon gas. I bought this rack because I liked the idea of the bags that slide and lock into place. It took about half an hour to install this rack on my bike. My seat post was pre-tapped but at an odd angle, so I had to bend the silver brackets slightly. Once attached it is solid, I have been riding about ten miles a day for the past week with it and I harldy notice it is there. I have not tested the 55 pound weight limit yet but I bought one of the smaller bags with no panniers. This is a great everyday rack, especially for this novice.
Low Quality China Bike. The old saying “You Get What You Pay For” definitely applies here. This bike is low quality but you shouldn’t expect much these days when you pay $[...]. Good bikes are $[...]+ even for children. We put the bike together and found that both wheels were out of round. I had to true the wheels but even after that, the rims are still so low in quality that they weren’t very even. One other issue is that the caliper brakes are almost useless. I had to adjust them to the max just to get them close to the correct spot on the rim for them to work. The pads fall short of the metal part of the rim. The manufacturer should have saved the $[...] on the caliper brake and put Spider-Man 16-Inch Bike into better quality rims. It is ridable and my son loves Spiderman so we will keep it. Bear in mind that it will only be used for a year or two and you will be OK. If you are in the least bit worried about quality, go with a better brand at a bike store. I bought this bike at Target for $[...].
Nice Bike. Ordered and received this bike very promptly; however, like one of the other reviewers, the back tire inner tube has a hole and will not inflate… have to take Pacific Tuscon Girls Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike to a bike shop to fix. Aside from that, this is a nice bike.
damaged during shipping- poor replacement options. Bike arrived in a busted up box, missing pieces and damaged. Amazon offered several less than ideal replacement options.
Who knows if the bike is any good. But I have noticed several other customers mentioning that the bikes arrived broken or bent, I just wanted to let you know that trying to get a replacement isnt easy and from the looks of things its going to takes us weeks to get a new bike. Hope its not snowin’.
Not for children 3+. The helmet is very nice looking, and matches my son’s Thomas bike, however Thomas & Friends Toddler Hardshell Bike Helmet Value Pack does not fit right. The packaging indicates it’s for toddlers 3+. My son just turned 3 and his head doesn’t fit inside the helmet with the padding which is provided. He can wear it without the padding but it still seems a little small and there is velcro tape inside which causes itching and discomfort if the padding is not in place. I’m very disappointed with this product and will have to look for another helmet to suit our needs.
great investment. This product is a great investment, I really don’t know how to fix my bike although I need to learn, but my boyfriend works on Bell Ultra-Tool Multi-Function Bike Tool for me (I’m lucky to have him) and these tools are great for him to be able to work on my bike and they are always handy so he can get to them quickly.
good light for city road night ride. fit over a 31.8 mm handle bar, bright enough for riding at night on city road. I would like the beam pattern to be wider though. Not bad for the price, and Planet Bike 3044 Blaze 1-Watt LED Headlight looks quite good.
