a great bike.
I was initially reluctant to purchase this bike, but I purchased it anyway. A bit tricky to put together and I ended up having the bike shop do it for me. The basket needed a little reinforcement holding the sides together but a few zip ties did the trick. All in all, a great bike.

Less than stellar, but it will get the job done as long as the road to get there is short and flat.
Assembled for a customer. Quality of parts is pretty low - many items came out of the package bent, and had to be straightened. Including fender mounts, chain guard mounts, and the rear derailleur - which means that tuning the gears would have been impossible had I been an amateur at this... maybe 2 or 3 of the 6 gears would have worked properly but after straightening it, I was able to get them all working correctly. Seat post-clamp is "ok" but the saddle rail clamping mechanism resembles that of a 1950's Raleigh bicycle and it does not clamp well at all. I'd strongly recommend using carbon gel paste for extra grip on the saddle rails. Only 1 of the rear wheels is a "drive" wheel, so if you have to climb any big hills and you put weight on the other wheel, the drive wheel will spin out and you will abruptly stop in your tracks. The bike is so heavy that disc brakes would have made much more sense, and for safety reasons I would apply the brakes going down any hill over 3-5% as this thing will get squirrely. Front wheel came out-of-true and that had to be straightened so the front brake could be applied without a shaky feel also. The saddle (seat) is massive - compared to a normal saddle I'd say 4x more sitting space. The entire bike weighs close to 70lbs, so you may need help lifting this from your vehicle to the ground for assembly. I mentioned downhill already, but going uphill is very tough even for a seasoned cyclist - due to the weight. This would be an ideal pedal-vehicle only in flat terrain, for short trips. If you have uneven pavement or hills I'd avoid this and just get a decent quality bicycle (2 wheeler) - the weight savings alone would make it much easier to ride and handle. If you are a paralyzed or partially paralyzed individual and a trike is your only option, spend a bit more money and get one with better quality parts, and better quality packing. Things always assemble more easily when parts are straight and not bent.
