"Just received the bike."
"It was the same as the ad says but when I assembled it, the front fork was a bit bent-in coz when I slid down the front tire to the fork it didn't go through it needed to be pulled out 1/4 of an inch out."
"I rode it around before gifting it to my nephew."
"Great bike overall, maneuvers as expected."
"I'm a beginner and i could not ask for a better bike but be prepared to make some modifications to the bike it only has 1 piece crankshaft but other than that its a great bike and i think you should get it."
"The bike is everything I expected. The bike doesnt feel cheap at all."
"But I also have to figure out the diameter of the seat post which is not listed in the description of the bike."

If for some reason you've never seen a wrench in your life, there are a bunch of videos on YouTube showing you EXACTLY how to assemble this bicycle step-by-step."
"Great bike that handles well and rides smooth for the price!"
"Everything went as scheduled, but during the assembling of my bike, the assembler brought to my attention that out of the box, the gear cassette that was already attached to the rear tire, was not aligned properly. It's a nice, smooth riding road bike otherwise, but want to get this issue resolved."
"So far, the bike looks great, rides nice, stops nice and is overall the best bike for the money that I could find."
"Look for a used bike or spend a little more for better quality."
"Assembly was easy although the front brake calipers/spring is broken and they do not open up after releasing the brake handle."
"This bike is not bad for what it costs."
"the problem with these bikes .. i say bikes because i had 2 bikes 1/medium/1 small....both with the same problem .. these bikes are so cheap that about 3 weeks later i need a new back rim.."

"Not fast, poor traction on loose gravel or uphill but good exercise."
"Great three wheelers have fun just riding around the neighborhood."

"Great bike for the price!!"
"My first bike and four years later its still good."
"Assembly was easy going to take it for a ride today for the first time since I got it was waiting on a pump and helmet so test ride long distance is today."
"4 Stars for the features given the price."
"Our 10 year old loves this bike and burns the road up on it!"
"This is probably a common mistake simply because the bike ships with the forks rotated 180 degrees backwards towards the frame of the bike. Get someone with professional tools and a working knowledge of the mechanical assembly of bicycles and I guarantee you that the only problem this bike has that I find truly unforgivable is the fact that the seat is the hardest most uncomfortable thing i've ever had the displeasure of sitting on which is by no means a deal breaker since gel seat covers cost less than 10 bucks and for less than 20 bucks you can replace the entire seat with a super comfortable gel seat with integrated red LED tail lights. For a bike that cost under $99 there is NO REASON AT ALL not to love this bike."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I received the bicycle today."
"I'm a novice biker but tandem makes the experience more enjoyable and easier for both of us (carrying ~half the weight of biking alone)."
"The front shock cause the peddles to easily hit high spots like going over small curbs which can be avoided by thinking ahead and leveling your peddles before arriving to such places."
"I did what one other reviewer did I had a reputable bike shop assemble the bike, I did not even open the box."
"The wheels were true, tires are a good tread design for all purpose yet not too knobby."
"Yes, yes, the components on the Schwinn Twinn are low-end economy (e.g. steel cogs vs exotic forged and machined alloys chain rings etc) -- but they WORK! The frame is light weight, stiff, and strong., Sure the welds aren't ground down to an airplane finish, but again this isnt a racing maacheeen. I was able to tune the bike and eliminate any unwanted noises, squeaks, scrapes and it runs like a top -- flawless. As with any bike of mine, I will eventually upgrade some of the components, like pedals, seats, handle bars, maybe others. The assembled tandem weighs 47 pounds out of the box and my wife and i easily maintain 15 MPH on the flats (Could go much faster if my stoker would 'kick-in' and pedal for heavens sake. But, BUT, that very point is addressed in the owners manual., as well as other good tips (e.g. like to avoid cross-gearing which especially applies to any 3-chainring bike but is often missed by casual riders."
"The one thing which is pretty annoying is that the pedals will hit the ground on minor bumps."
"This was a hard one to write- the bike is well made, gear shift (21 speed) works well, frame is aluminum and it has disc brakes- 2 problems-. The quality of the seats is terrible- my wife rode with me for 1/2 hour ans is still sore after 5 days- The rear handle bars have limited adjustment and affects the seat position in the front-. Pity to make a sound bike and skimp on the things that affect comfort- If Icanreplace the bars and seat andget a good riding position I will raise "stars" to 4."

"It really doesn't give you basic instructions, you have to kind of futs around to get it right."
"Great bike, good quality."
"This is NOT a light weight bicycle and by no means a tank either, just a great, well built bicycle all around!"
"For the money you get a great bike."
"Nice looking bike works well I did have the rear rim bend on my pretty easily but contacted Schwinn and the sent me a new one with no problems great costumer service oh and the bike is on the heavy side if you looking for a light bike this is not it."
"If all you want to do is bike around the neighborhood or maybe ride along some level, paved trails, then sure, it will work just fine (although in that case I'd recommend a hybrid or road bike). When I first purchased this bike, I had no idea how much weight played a role in mountain biking, and for quite a while I soldiered through it, tackling steep hills and persevering as exhaustion set in. This bike bills itself as a full-suspension mountain bike, and to an extent, that's true. What I would recommend doing is going down to your local bike store and purchasing a higher quality starter bike that you can easily find for $350-400."
"The bike arrived with scratch in paint on left side and left pedal will not install because the threads are not matched correctly and insert (female) side is soft and bolt on pedal side (male) is steel and any attempt will wind up cross threading."

Find Best Price at Amazon"One rear axel tensioning screw was bent and an accessory screw was missing. Paint on rims is not up to being used for the brake pads to wear against and the bike is covered with yellow paint dust from abrasion."
"It came well-packaged in a standard cardboard bicycle box, lots of foam paper, taping and bubble wrap to protect the frame and parts. Putting together the bike was a piece of cake, I'd say the only mildly challenging part was to remove the back wheel in order to flip it (making use of the very convenient flip-flop hub) so that it ran on the fixed cog instead of freewheel."
"The rear wheel was assembled as single gear at default you need to flip the wheel to the fixed gear side. Don't forget to flip the tire matching the rotational direction. Tighten eveything, break, saddle (not only the one to adjust the hight but the angle of the saddle), even screws for cup holders."
"Coming from years of Mountain bike with street tires and a Dutch bike for commuting, life with the fixie is simpler and more engaging. It needs a brutal sprint to tighten the rear cog clockwise first, then you can take the lock tool and tighten anti-clockwise. Great value, lots of fun, it looks beautiful, fast shipping, just change the tires and tighten the rear cog through a hard forward ride before the final tightening of the lock ring."
"After looking online for single speeds within the 300$ range, I decided on a 54cm Pure Fix India (Black/Gold). Still, I took it to my bikeshop to get it finetuned and to get the warranty actjvated. The bike's steel frame is lightweight, maneuverable, and easy to pick up speed."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I was looking for a bike that I could fold up and put in our luggage bay without taking up to much space. Some of the guys leave theirs on the trucks but I wanted mine on the days off so I could split away from the hotel without the need of a cab. I did my research and read other reviews of this bike on more than Amazon and most have been pretty good. I received the bike at my hotel which was packed properly all of the parts were present and no damage. I am very mechanically inclined so putting a bike together is pretty easy and I didn't even open the instructions."
"I bought this bike last year, and it was great fun for me to stow it away (it completely fits inside the trunk of my VW Golf!). It got to be annoying to keep having to reinstall the handlebars (although it comes with a handy allen wrench) but after a while, I got the hang of it. Maybe it should be stressed to future owners to not repeatedly remove the handlebars for storage but to leave it in place but for me, it was a thrill to get the entire bike to fit inside my trunk without having to lower my back seat."
"The swept back handlebars take a bit to get used to if your used to a mountain bike like me but your supposed to have an upright posture and easy ride when using this bike and it feels very comfortable. BE WARNED - I test rode several folding bicycles before going for this one and one fit great (current GIANT folder) but a few others just fit awful (ya know like the seat all the way up yet knees hit my chin sorta "fit") So if your my height/weight id recommend this one. (normal for ALL bicycles). Not sure about all these reviews that are saying its hard to build...I mean you know what the end result is going to be: A BICYCLE! The handlebars do not fold down easily - you need the allen tool that came with the bike to fold them down. The seat is not the most comfortable thing in the world - does have springs which help but if your big it kinda feels a bit like sitting on a yoga ball or something - has that weird bouncy feeling to it. I happen to have an old GIANT brand seat laying around that fit perfectly on the seat post and makes it feel MUCH MUCH more comfortable to ride so factor that price of a new seat if your trying to decide what folding bike buy."

Enjoy a smooth, easy ride with the Urban Lady cruiser bike from Firmstrong, which comes in two sizes -- 24-inch (for riders 4 feet to 5 feet, 2 inches tall) and 26-inch (for riders 5 feet to 6 feet tall). Classic curvy beach cruiser design with 15-inch durable steel frame and aluminum wheels.

Find Best Price at Amazon"I was concerned about the fact that the Urban Lady does not have a low step-thru, but the "Finding the right size" video and the "Test Ride Guarantee" convinced me to try a 26" bike, and it's a great fit. The steel construction also makes a far better (and less noisy) riding experience as I no longer feel every bump in the road, or maybe it's the larger tires, I don't know. I haven't heard from a mechanic, but I did get a welcome email from Dustin, in which I was encouraged to contact BeachBikes if I need assistance."
"Great bike for a great price."
"Only complaint is it didn't come with the Allen wrenches and the sizes required aren't common."
"My husband and I wanted to get a couple of bikes to ride around our neighborhood and take to the nearby park."
"I love this bike it was a little hard to assemble luckily I know a guy who knows how to put stuff together but once it is put together correctly it's awesome...I like this bike because the handle bars are high enough that I don't have to bend my back forward which is uncomfortable."
"I don't ride my bike often, 2 times a week and several of the spots already have scratches and marks on the bike."
"The seat had a small hole in it and am trying to contact the manufacture to get replaced."
"Initially all was good, but the men's bike turned out to be defective as well....see my review on that bike. But initially, I was excited about this bike, so I ended up ordering the woman's Firmstrong beach cruiser so we would have a set. After speaking to three different people at Amazon, I just went through the hassle of disassembling this bike, luckily I still had the original box since I just received it. Stick to little things like shoes, clothes, food.... big items like TVs, bikes, no way again from Amazon. We ended up returning BOTH bikes and ended up buying two new bikes from the local bike shop down the street, for the same price."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The back wheel was more challenging because the motor cables and disc brakes. I haven't ridden on the commute nearly as much with me feeling a little more cautious and it getting dark so early (I don't need to wipe out in the bike lane into traffic...) All is well though. Have had zero issues with the motor since bending the brake back to its (or close to its) rightful position. My commute to work each day is about 6.5 miles and takes about 25 minutes each way (in business casual clothing). So here are a few updated notes from my below review (and changing from 4-stars to 5-stars). == Seller ==. True to their word (main reason for change from 4 to 5 stars), they sent me a replacement gear shift for the one that was broke on arrival. == Bike Tuning ==. I continued to have issues with the rear brakes. Fantastic work by them, the bike has a better top speed by a couple mph now and shifting/braking are much smoother. == Extra Gear ==. With the disk brakes I had to get a new rack for the back of the bike. **. ** September 7, 2016 - Original Review **. **. I've had the eBike for about a week now and figure it is time to post my impressions. It has not been without hiccups (see below) but after quite a bit of research online I am convinced for the price, nothing out there will compare. == Shipping ==. UPS delivered one day later than the expected delivery date. Flip the handlebar clasp around and leave the dirt guard facing forward. I've ridden a few dozen miles to include a trip with a kids trailer towed behind, and it hasn't been really uncomfortable, but a little cramped compared to my Schwinn Trailway 28"/700c hybrid bike. I have ridden in shorts and tshirt to the beach as well as khakis and a button up with backpack to work, ok comfort both ways. I live in a hilly place and I need to pedal to make it up some hills. I do enjoy having the kick stand further back, provides a lot more stabilization to the bike vice being closer to the pedals. I feel like a higher voltage is used on level 3 pedal assist than can be gotten just using the hand turn, though. You also have to be careful pedaling around to park the bike or at a street corner waiting for traffic because you DO NOT want the motor to kick in and send you into a workbench or worse ... oncoming traffic. I've gone through YouTube and have done everything short of taking the brake pads out and adjusting the springs."
"After losing my licence due to poor decisions, I decided that I was going to have to get a mountain bike. After weeks of research and checking state laws, I decided to buy this bike. And then when you hit those steep hills you have plenty of energy to tackle them,and the pedal assist helps all along the way."
"Awesome ebike for the price...one issue that should be addressed is that the front wheel on the fork is facing backwards as shown on the the picture and on the video...the fork needs to be turned around so the disk break on the bike should be on the left side so as you pedal and make turns your foot does not hit the tire...for shipping purposes it was turned around so to fit in the shipping box...any reputable bike shop will correct this and also make minor tuneup and adjustments as needed as this is new out of the box and isn't tuned up like new bikes purchased at bike store...it is not safe riding the bike with the front wheel fork backwards...I luv this bike...safe rideing to you..."
