After a few days, I'm perfectly happy with this bike. I was hesitant to choose this one over the other 26" folding bikes because it lacked any reviews, so here is my review :)

The Good: It's a perfectly functional folding bike with 18 speeds and full-size wheels. It was the only option at the time that had full size wheels and more than 6 speeds, in this price range ($200 shipped), so that is a definite plus. It also has rear shocks which is nice, though I don't know if I'll make any use of them. I consider myself to be a novice at bicycles, but everything was pretty self-explanatory and I made it work with no trouble, which is important because the instructions were minimal; the only things you need to assemble are to attach the front wheel, the seat post, the handlebars post, and the pedals (to their arms), which were all simple. All my accessories from my old bike fit onto this one just fine too (luggage rack, fender, seat).

The Bad: The manual is sparse,... Read more

This bike arrived as expected in good condition. Was fairly easy to put together, although the owner's manual was pretty sparse.
The problem with this bike is the wheelbase is too short for adults and when pedaling and turning, the front tire will hit foot
or toes. This could cause a spill if you pedal while turning.
Stowabike should recall these bikes and elongate the wheelbase so the tire and foot have adequate clearance.

Bike is sturdy and appears to be well made. My only objection is with the manual. It is for a bike that seems to be similar to this one mechanically. The manual would be more helpful it it showed HOW TO ACTUALLY FOLD THE BIKE!!.
