This bike turned out to a bit better than expected. It came with a lot of great extras: lites, chain guard, fenders, rack, etc. Looks really cool, seems very well built and thought-out. A great value at $280. Major problems were a lack of clear instructions for assembly. Manual covered half doz. models, none of them even close to this bike! I had to have a pro button it all up (an extra $50).
Once all was together and safe, it turns out to be just a little too small for me. I am a bit over 6 feet tall. After trying all the many possible adjustments, I was unable create a safe and comfortable ride.
Too bad, I really wanted it to work! Recent knee problems (age 70)have forced me to need a "step-through" bike like this.
Hope this helps others!

A well made bike with a lot of style but with poor directions for putting together. The booklet that came with the bike was for other bikes. No mention of the lighting system at all. I still can't figure how to install the wiring. The seven speeds are all I need in flat Florida. I will visit a bike shop for some help. Still like the bike.

I would think twice before buying this bike again. I was attracted to the bike from the description because I am an older rider and like the idea of the ease of getting on and off the bike. When I called to inquire if the bike was fully assembled, I was told it was 85% assembled and that the few remaining pieces would be easily put on. The manual was a generic manual and really gave no helpful information specific for this bike. Also, you need to have a variety of metric tools including a 14 mm deep socket, 10 mm short socket, 6 mm Allen wrench, 5 mm Allen wrench, crescent wrench, 5/32 Allen wrench and 8, 10, and 15 mm open/box wrench (only the 5 and 6 mm Allen wrenches came with the bike). With great difficulty my husband and I put the bike together over a 3-4 hour period. Once finished I went for a ride only to find that the chain and gear shift mechanism weren't assembled properly at the factory, so I couldn't even ride it. $80 later, after taking the bike to our local bike...
