Great folding bicycle, Nice look, Soft and Confortable to ride, good Velocity, nice Twist Grip Gear, Pedals can be fold. Works as a 24 or 26 inches bike. Good quality, except that the break can be better, but not bad.
I bought one for me (5 feet). After trying my daughter (5.5 feet) wants one for her, and my son (4.4) wants to change his bike for this one too. I contact the company and they help me right away, they send me a black bicycle with an extra seat post shorter ($14) for my son or you can cut the post by yourself.
I bought 3 different brands before (Macee, Hahoo, Huuh) they were really bad.
I had them for one month and we love it. Tried all terrains and it works amazing. I really recommend Columba Alloy bike.

I bought this bike back in April 2012. It is now June 2013 and I have used it on and off for a total of maybe 700 miles or so, which I know isn’t heavy use but what can I say. After a year of using this it still runs great. The tread is a little worn but it has a ways to go yet before replacing, appears barely worn. I love this bike considering it only cost $279 when I bought it. Assembly was fairly easy.
Some important suggestions if you are buying this or any other variant of this model. When assembling or re-assembling the folding bike remember that it is really easy to have the front forks and wheel turned around. An easy rule to remember is (and Im going to use all caps to help you recall this is that THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPERS SHOULD ALWAYS BE *IN FRONT OF* THE FORKS. If you assemble the bike from a folding state (where you removed the handlebars) and notice that the front brake calipers are BEHIND the front forks then STOP and flip the wheel around. Riding the bike in this fashion is quite dangerous, in particular on inclines. I learned this the hard way when I assembled it while tired – front wheel was backwards and I went out for a quickie run and almost smacked into a curb because my stopping power was greatly diminished.
So, remember – FRONT BRAKES FORWARD. You can even draw a small arrow pointing “this way forward” on the fork tubes using a Sharpie as an extra measure. We all do stupid things when we are tired!
Another suggestion is to get a Gel-seat overlay which makes riding this thing super-comfy. Also, this bike has a max weight rating of 200 lbs so if you are like me and hovering around the 2 bill mark on the scale, consider stiffening the rear shock to compensate. I am no expert but it just seemed like the read shock was tuned for someone fairly light.
I found that the tire inflation pressure of around 55PSI feels like the optimal tradeoff between road rumble and rolling resistance. The max pressure is 65 PSI. Here on Amazon there are a number of gel-seat overlays for around $20-40.
Continuing suggestions, if you are going to buy this model then definitely get a large strap to secure the wheels together when you fold it up, otherwise the bike will flop around and be quite difficult to handle folded up. What I did: I found some SCORPION STRAPS and combined two of them to create one large velcro strap which is perfect for securing the wheels together. I think you can find these scorpion velcro straps here on Amazon somewhere.
Final suggestion – I would strongly suggest buying a Park Tool 3-way wrench also here on Amazon. T10 T25 and T30 wrench sizes. The reason is that you will almost certainly need to play around with the brake pads and to get them seated just right you are going to need an easy to handle Torx wrench. The one that comes with the bike is a simple key wrench which makes brake adjusting a lot harder than it has to be.
So that’s it! If you are much heavier than 210 pounds and/or over 6 feet tall then this bike is probably not going to be sturdy enough for you. Overall this bike is incredible, and it’s no wonder that 2KSilver can’t keep them in stock for long.

I keep damaging bikes/bike-racks/garage-doors because I forget that the rack is on my car. So, I gave up and bought this folding bike which fits nicely in the trunk of my Camry. I love the bike. It’s sturdy, rides nicely, folds up quickly and is light enough for me to pick it up to put it in the trunk. The only issue I had was assembling the bike. The box says it’s 98% assembled. You have install the front tire, the seat post, the handle post and the foot pedals. (That’s more than 2%, in my view) I was able to put everything together okay with the exception being that I had a TERRIBLE time screwing in the foot pedals. I could never get the bolt part to start screwing into the hole. I finally just gave up and brought the bike to the bike shop. The bike mechanic said that the screw holes weren’t “tapped” all the way through and he took a tapping tool and fixed it. After that, the pedals screwed in perfectly. If not for the pedal fiasco, this would have been a 5 star review.

I have been thinking about getting a folding bike for a while and got some amazon gift cards so decided to take the plunge. Wanted something I could throw in the back of my prius and drag out whenever I wanted and was afraid this would be too big. The hardest part of putting this bike together was getting the bubble wrap off of it. I took it with me today while getting my tires rotated. Easy in and out of the car, easy to fold and unfold, remarkably light. I am in my mid- fifties and would not describe myself as athletic. It is easily adjustable- I rode around for an hour today and made handlebar and seat adjustments. I have not had handlebar gearshifting before and this took a bit of getting used to, but by the time my car was ready I’d mastered it. I work near a bike trail I’ve always wanted to ride over lunch but figured I’d just get my bike stolen if I left it on the rack on my car, now I can just drag this out. I’m excited about this bike.

THis bike is still great nearly a year later. I moved to an area close to bike trails and now use it around town, take it to work in the back of the car. I got a nice set of saddle bags and a rack for the back and the rack doesn’t really impede folding. Yesterday went for a nice long ride while my daughter was getting a haircut. I’ve taken to taking it with me and going for a ride when I have to wait for something (oil change, etc). It is light, easy to work with, easy to adjust. Can’t say enough good stuff about it. I am, by the way, an out of shape 55 year old who just likes to bike.
