Kawasaki KX26 Men's 26-Inch Mountain Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently purchased this bike and I am very satisfied with it. For a $100 I paid for it on Amazon it all I expected it to be. The only thing I changed was the saddle, as it was a little hard for my butt. I am not sure why previous reviewer had problems with his bike. It could be just defective bikes he purchased or just some who doesn't like to read assembly instructions. If you want a decent, inexpensive bike for an occasional ride, just go for it.

Amazon.com Bicycle Buying Guide Finding the Right BikeTo really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike:
The Right Ride In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:
Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.

The Right Price A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.
Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.

The Right Size Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:
Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height.
Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance.

The Right Accessories When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons:
Helmet (this is a must!)
Seat pack
Lock
Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages
Spare tubes
Portable bike pump
Gloves

Quantum by American SportWorks - 150cc 9.9hp Full Suspension Go Kart Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My son wanted this go kart more than anything in the world. He got it for Christmas, and it was very cold outside even for south Louisiana. He rode it an hour on Christmas with no trouble other than freezing hands. He put a total of 10 hours on the machine during his Christmas vacation. My husband carefully followed the maintainance manual for changing the oil on time as the instructions stated. My little boy went out for a ride in mid January, and he called my husband a half hour later saying he was broke down. That was when the go-kart nightmare began. Even though we have our own mechanic for our boat business, we had to let an "authorized service tech" work on the machine since it was under warrantee. It took two weeks for them to come get the machine (its too big to fit in back of a full-sized pick-up truck to bring it anywhere.) The first thing the repair place told us was that my son put over a hundred hours on the go cart when we know it was no more than 10 or 11. The hour counter gauge is actually attached to the key switch and counts how long the key is on rather than how long the motor runs. If the emergency kill switch is used to shut down the craft, the hours continiue to tick away until someone notices the key is on. This dealer has had my son's go cart for over three months now, and they have yet to determine what is wrong with it other than the moter is tore up and it needs new parts. They claim American Sportworks (the manufacturer) is the hold up because they are real picky about what they cover on their warantees.
I chose to purchase this go cart since it was made in America over purchasing an import. What a huge mistake!! American Sportworks is a terrible company. This is the worst item I have bought in my 51 years! I have owned this thing for five months and had it in my possesion for only two. My son cries every day that he wants his go cart and no one at the service place or American Sportworks cares at all. I don't know if we'll ever get this thing back, and if we do I seriously doubt it will work for long before it breaks down again.
Save yourself months of misery. Don't buy from this manufacturer!!!

Offering all the sophistication of a high-performance ATV in a compact package, the Quantum full-suspension go-kart is a great ride for people ages 12 and older. The Quantum is outfitted with such features as a dual-wheel, automatic torque-converter drive that's perfect for hills, grass, mud, sand, and other tough terrain, along with a 150cc, 9.9-horsepower, air-cooled engine with an electric starter. As a result, the Quantum not only holds up to heavy use and runs quietly, but it also zips around at up to 39 miles per hour--fast enough for all but the most reckless dune and trail riders (if that's too fast for your taste, a 20-mile-per-hour speed reduction kit is available). The Quantum is also built for safety, with four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes that stop quickly and three-point lap/shoulder belts to protect the passengers. And thanks to the rack-and-pinion steering and independent front and semi-independent rear suspension, the Quantum is extremely responsive and smooth.
Other features include adjustable bucket seats designed for style and comfort, aggressive 19-inch front and 21-inch rear tires for maximum traction, four adjustable coil-over hydraulic shocks for performance and versatility, a reverse gearbox for convenience, and such standard equipment as a rear rack, flag, enclosed drive train, side splash guards, fenders, lights, and a speedometer. The Quantum, which measures 34 to 39 inches from the seat back to the pedals, carries a one-year warranty on the engine.

Huffy 26-Inch Ladies ATB Granite Bike (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this bike at my local hardware store. I was looking for something I could use to ride to work in the summer, and to ride for fun. I am by no means a bike fanatic and don't know much about bikes.
I am 5'6 and with a slight adjustment to the seat this bike fits me perfectly. The seat is very uncomfortable so I ordered a new seat. The gears don't transition very smoothly and whenever i peddle i feel a tiny thump in one of the peddles. The grippy handles are uncomfortable. I should have worked a few extra weekends so I could have bought a more expensive bike. Without a doubt, if I rode this bike on rough terrain it would break.

Schwinn Loop 7-Speed Folding Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just received it from Amazon last week, set it up immediately, and only took it to the bike store to make sure of everything. It does NOT ride like a toy, as one customer said, but is far more steady than any Dahon I've ridden. It's a bit too heavy for me to lift up, but others may not find that a problem. Once you get the catch open - it's difficult because a lot of pressure is needed, but that's for safety reasons - it folds easily. For a man, this would be easier. An absolute pleasure to have the LOOP AT THE BOTTOM, AND NOT TO HAVE TO PUT MY LEG OVER A HIGHER BAR. The handle bar is fixed and can't be adjusted, but it's fine for me. The seat is adjustable, though. Goes up hills easily. This is far superior to the citizen bikes, in my opinion, with their rickety chain that falls off easily. It is rather larger than appears in the pictures, so look at the specifications carefully. I was surprised that Schwinn put it into such a shabby carton for the trip from China and then to other places before it came to me. All I did was rip the side of the carton open, and the bike slid out (folded, of course.)

Dahon Jack 26-Inch Folding Mountain Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use this bike to get around New York City. It's the first bike I've bought for myself brand new, and it's exactly what I was looking for. First off, it's very sturdy. The city is hard on bikes, but this thing can take it. I've flipped the thing (my fault, not the bike's), had it land in front of me, and it took barely a ding. Stayed unfolded. The fat tires are great for potholes, and the kevlar belting gives you a little piece of mind as you fly through a minefield of glass shards.
The folding feature was the main reason I bought the Jack, and it was mainly to avoid theft. First and foremost, I can keep it in my apartment. That's a huge plus. Second, the tires are right next to each other when the bike is folded, which allows you to throw a chain or cable through both tires, around the frame and even under the seat if you prefer a quick release (the bike comes with QR levers on both tires and the seatpost). I can get a kryptonite chain around the frame and through both tires when locking to a street sign. A word of warning: if you think you're getting a bike that will fold up small enough to take with you into the grocery store, get a bike with 20" wheels. The Jack is full size, so it's still a big bike when it's folded, and it's almost 30 lbs. If you're worried about the bike unfolding while you're on it, don't be. It doesn't happen.
The only thing I'm not crazy about on the bike are the handlebars - they're a little wider than I'd like, and I'd prefer bullhorn bars to the MTB/cruiser style, but that's a personal preference, and the standard oversize clamp leaves you room to customize.
I've formed a very strong connection with this bike. It's definitely not right for everyone, but if it's for you, I think you'd know from looking at it. If you think it's right for you, I say go for it. It's been good to me.

Hit the trail, the boardwalk or a winding two-lane in five seconds or less. And you won't a need a rack for this mountain bike, as a conventional trunk will do. The Dahon Jack is straightforward transportation for on and off road, featuring a simple seven speed 37-101-inch gear array and a beefy Joe Murray design 7005 double-butted aluminum frame with forged lattice hinge and a head tube made with patented ReBar technology. Other features include an integrated, straight blade fork, a Dahon Fusion headset with a Zero stack cartridge, and a WTB Speed V saddle attached to an aluminum, Microadjust seat post to ensure comfort and stability. The NVO InfiniteAdjust stem is made for instantaneous stem height adjustments, and the braze-ons for rack and mud guards will accommodate any trail gear you want to add.
Assembly of the Bike: This bike comes mostly assembled. Minor assembly is required before the bike can be used.
About Dahon The Dahon story begins in 1975. At the time, Dr. David Hon, founder of the company, was a physicist at Hughes Aircraft Corporation in California, working on highly classified government research projects. Considered a leading expert in solid-state laser technology, Dr. Hon had already been awarded numerous U.S. patents for advancements in laser technology. Breakthrough laser technology that he and his team developed would later be used on NASA space shuttles, US missile guidance systems, and laser-guided anti-aircraft guns. Despite his success, Dr. Hon eventually found the work unfulfilling, because his energies were devoted to instruments of war, rather than for the betterment of society. Then, in 1975 came the oil and gas crisis and the seed for Dahon was sown.
One afternoon, in his third week of waiting in hour-long lines to buy gasoline for his car, Dr. Hon was struck by the magnitude of the world's dependence on oil, a non-renewable resource that would likely be depleted within the lifetime of his grandchildren. Brainstorming for solutions to weaken the world's dependence on oil, Dr. Hon ended up going back to his primary mode of transportation in college--the bicycle. Totally clean, and just as important, cheap enough for people around the world to access, Dr. Hon considered the bicycle to be a good candidate as a solution. While the bicycle was perfect for short trips, it was not practical for longer trips, for example, if you lived 30 miles from work. The bicycle needed to be improved and transformed, to make it more broadly functional and needed to integrate more readily with other forms of environmentally-sustainable transport, like trains and subways. Dr. Hon's solution: a portable folding bicycle.Working evenings and weekends in his garage over the next seven years, Dr. Hon built dozens and dozens of prototypes, trying to perfect a folding bicycle that would maintain the riding performance of a regular bicycle but would fold quickly and to a compact size.

26" Full Carbon Fiber Frame Shimano 21-speed MTB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I wouldn't buy this bike.
There are many items that should scare potential buyers.
The fork is mounted backwards in the whole bike picture.
There are way too many spacers on the steer tube. They cannot afford to cut the steer tube?
The parts in the build are low quality and old school. Most modern bikes have 8 or 9 speed rear cassettes, this one has a 7 speed.
Not sure if there is just a lot of Engrish, but there are spellings for what ought to be the word Turbo (Tubro, Tubor).
For 1200 dollars you should get hydraulic brakes, not mechanical.
If the bike weighs 27 lbs, why is the shipping weight 94lbs?
Take your 1200 dollars to your local bike shop, you will be able to purchase a lot more bike for the same money.

Topeak DeFender M1 Mountain Bike Fender (Front) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this and the M2 (rear) fender to keep mud and water off me on rainy days for my commute.
The installation is a piece of cake -- just plug the diagonally-split cylinder into your fork, and tighten the Allen head bolt to compress it. The front and back parts literally snap right on. The soft tips are nice for when you bump into stuff; helps keep 'em from snapping.
Although I think these are great-quality, I *did* encounter an issue with the M1. It broke at the mount on the first day I had it. The customer service at Topeak is awesome though, and I got a replacement part in 2 days! I've been using the new one for several weeks now, and no problems!

Pacific Stratus Men's Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This bike is good looking and you can't beat the price. You will need to take a some time to put it together and double check everything. Make sure you turn the fork 180 degrees. They did this so it would fit in the box. It came packaged good. We're just using the bike for around town with the kids. I would recommend it. FYI, pacific cycle is the parent company for Schwinn and Mongoose bikes so I believe this will be a decent reliable bike for us.

Schwinn High Timber Women's Mountain Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this bike (assembled) at a local retailer this spring in the face of $4 per gallon gas. It has been a fine ride from day one. I commute to work (four miles round trip), run errands (most anything within 7 miles one way), and of course take joyrides. I have outfitted it with a water bottle holder, a Topeak Explorer Bike Rack and Topeak MTX Trunk Bag DX. It was easy to install the rack because of the pre-tapped holes in the seat post (which come plugged but can be easily removed with an allen wrench). This is the first bike I have had in more than 15 years and a lot has changed: the shifters are part of the handles, the seat and front wheel are quick release (no tools required) and it is much lighter than my old Huffy. I mounted hooks in the rafters of my garage to store it up and out of the way and I can lift it up by myself. Really a nice deal.

26" Shimano Folding Bicycle Mountain Bike 6 Speed New Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I received this bicycle as a present (picked it out online myself). It's one of the cheapest seemingly full size folding bicycle I can find. There's no review at the time I'd bought it and I kinda took a chance so now that I'd spent a little time with it I thought I'd share my experience..
It seemed sturdy and folds & unfolds with confidence (few days into ownership). But I did have to do a LOT of adjustments all over in order to put it together properly ready for riding duty (there was no instructions but I figured everything out I'm sure you can too). Btw you need a wrench of sorts to remove the front wheel.
In order to fit into the trunk of my car (I have a 2007 Civic Hybrid so the battery cut into trunk space and so I have a smaller trunk than a normal Civic), I'd have to remove the handle bar. That's in addition to removing the front wheel and also folding the bicycle itself, of course. But I think it should fit in most (normal) sedans without the handle bar removed. Like I said the IMA battery cut into my trunk space & my seats don't fold down (which incidentally is a big reason for me wanting this folding bicycle).
The handle bar, not sure why, doesn't really fit securely even as I think I'd really tightened it. So tho it's fine for my purpose (casual riding during lunch hour) I'd never take it to a real technical trail. Also even as the seat is adjusted to its highest setting I still can't fully extend my legs whilst riding it (I'm about 6' tall). Guess that's more or less a function of the folding bike having compact dimension kinda thing.
Overall I'm happy with it. Good value for what it costs. Happy that I have a 2nd bike that I can easily (sort of) fit into the trunk of my Hybrid. I don't think I'd have it as my only bicycle tho. I still like riding my "real" bicycle more, when I'm able to properly carry it.
Hopefully this will help you decide..
Phil

Pacific Tuscon Boy's Dual-Suspension Mountain Bike (24-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The front tire tube blew when I pumped it up. And an Allen wrench is needed to tighten the handle bars, which I did not have. Web should be clearer about what tools are required and they should include the Allen wrench.
So I had to buy a new tube and Allen wrench to finish this. That was pretty annoying, but otherwise it was easy to assemble.

Huffy Women's Rival Bike, Gray, 26-Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This bike is an excellent starter bike. It does the job of taking you for short travel time but you may need a new seat for longer travels since the Huffy seat it comes with is like sitting on a metal beam; it is unforgivably hard and heats up a lot; my inner thighs and buttocks were in agony after riding for just an hour.
The color on the bike is much darker than the picture; it looks pinkish but its more a maroon or dark magenta.
She is not too heavy; manageable for me; I'm 5' 6" and I can carry it for short stints.
The bike is tops but Amazon did a very bad job of packaging it. The box ripped open during shipment causing a hole in the box. I was worried components would be missing but so far it does not appear to be so; lucky I guess. The box is a Huffy box however, not an Amazon box w. that smile so this shipment issue may be a size thing since this box is quite big (about 4x3x1).

Mongoose Montana Men's Mountain Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ride about 5 miles a day from home to school and back. Very flat, good weather, easy ride, and I'm not huge or anything. I figured a cheap bike like this would last a year, and then I'd upgrade. I've had it a month, and there have been a number of problems.
In general, the parts are flimsy. The seat post clamp won't prop up the seat. The handlebars are loose because the bolt that holds them comes loose. The bike feels like it's off balance. Also, while making sharp turns, my toes scrape the front tire. Biggest problem - pedals made of really weak plastic that actually ripped. Drivetrain, shifters, and brakes OK so far, but I'm not expecting much.
Do NOT buy this bike if you expect to ride it on a daily basis. Spend 2X or 3X more and get better quality components.
