At this price, the bike is awesome! It was delivered as promised and little assembly was required, it is the best looking bike I have seen in a while. Although I only use it for casual treking, I am confident this piece of equipment could handle just about anything.

I am very dissatisfied!! The bike broke the first time my son rode it. Had to buy a different bike. I did receive a full refund–happy about that!

Pros:
Bike is well built for 150 dollars. Works as a bike should, two wheels, pedals and handle bars.
cons:
Seat is hard enough to make your bottom sore even after a short ride, think 10 minutes. I am going to have to get a different one. Also it mounts at a slight upward angle I couldn’t correct, so being a male that was not very comfortable either.
Gears are difficult to change/adjust, they always seem to be in between. Even when the selector is clearly on a number you hear that rubbing like its about to change gears.
Assembly is a bit confusing, This bike requires tools that are not provided, the average person may not have them so be prepared if you buy this, also the size of tools needed is not documented. I don’t have the exact sizes written down but you need hex key/allen wrenches, 3 different one very small, and 2 fairly large sizes along with different sizes of open end wrenches for seat, tires and foot pedals. I was surprised how many tools and the size differences you needed for assembly. A lot of adjustments have to be made to hand brake lever’s and gear selector’s where mounted on the handle bars. The placement of these are up to you as they are not documented in the manual. These items were mounted already on the handle bar when it arrived but not in the correct position for use. This made where the handle bar attaches to the frame confusing until you figure that out. Also hand brakes and gear selectors were so tighten down with allen wrench screws(two different sizes) I wasn’t sure if they were even removable at first. I thought they may have been attached to the handle bar. It’s scary when you have to put that kind of torque on a tiny allen wrench size. Luckily I had a screw driver set with the proper size tip.
You will also need some kind of air pump, the tires do not come inflated.
This is definately not a pro mountain biker style bike, but the cost doesn’t reflect that either. I am 66 inches 180 lbs and it fit me pretty well. When standing my groin just clears the bar. If it weren’t for the horrible seat, I would of given it 4 stars.
