Best Bike For Heavy Woman (2024 Update)

First the bad news…the seat was terribly uncomfortable, but I changed it out with a nicer gel spring seat I already had and that made all the difference. Also, some assembly was required as it had been pre-assembled in the factory but then partially disassembled for shipping in a large rectangular box. The bolts/nuts were so tight I needed help from a friend but we eventually got it together with the two of us. Then I tried out the gears and each gear "caught" so I had to take it to a bicycle repair shop who tuned it up for about $40. Now I LOVE IT! So for under $300 I'd say I got a good buy in the end. To me, it's a very nice looking bike and I do not regret my purchase…besides, with the Coronavirus issues, I was lucky to find a bicycle I like in this country for sale.CindyRock

I live in a very humid, tropical environment where sulfur emissions from a prior lava eruption continue to pollute the air and cause everything metal to rust. After our 1960's Schwinn cruiser bicycles became rusted beyond repair, I searched online for new bikes. The sixthreezero bicycles looked really cool and the prices were fantastic. I did not expect the quality to be anywhere near as good as it is! It is extremely comfortable and a breeze to pedal also! The paint color is very retro and cool; people compliment the bike whenever I ride Amazingly, TWO years after I have purchased it, my bike has NO rust anywhere! This is practically unheard of in our location! We live 5 blocks from 3-month long active lava eruption that continues to emit sulfur into the air three years later! If I had to say something negative about the bike, I can't think of anything I would change about it! Their customer service team is top notch! Anytime I email them, they respond almost immediately! I would recommend this bicycle for men and women of all ages. I am 61yrs old and our teenage neighbor loves my bike as much as I do!Odie

I bought this bike to try to get in better shape. The reason I wanted an electric bike was because I wanted to push myself and then use the electric only to ride back if I pushed myself too far. Plus I needed a way to get back home to accommodate multiple musculoskeletal issues that I was afraid would leave me stranded and struggling to return on a manual bike. I haven't rid a bike in years so I was hesitant to spend this amount on a bike I hadn't test driven and I lacked confidence in my physical ability as I have multiple disabilities. First off this bike has changed my life. I started off riding a couple miles and being tired. After a few weeks I was up to 5 miles multiple times a week. I'm so excited to have a means of exercise that gets my heart rate up, doesn't exacerbate my disabilities, and is enjoyable. I have had my bike for 2 months now and last month I rode 70 miles and met the weekly recommend moderate activity for multiple weeks in a row. I have done 7, 8, 9 mile rides so far. I originally thought I wouldn't get my heart beat up much with an electric bike but to the contrary. My fitbit shows my rides and where my heart increases to fat burning and cardio. Now I have plans by the end of March to ride 6 miles to work and 6 miles back 2-3 times a week. I couldn't have even imagined this goal as a possibility 2 months ago and now this is realistic. This bike is comfortable and is a joy to ride. The seat is cushy and comfortable. The hand grips are comfortable. I have issues with my hands and was worried about pain but this hasn't been a problem and I'm quite comfortable with the grips and angle of the handlebars. This bike is sturdy and comfortable. The battery lasts a long time. I could probably ride 4 or 5 days 5-6 miles a day until I need to recharge. I usually recharge every 2-3 rides but that is because I'm the type of person who fills my gas tank up when it is 3/4th full. I see the battery go down two bars and I'm on it with a recharge. The cons: I had a squeaking sound and couldn't figure out what was causing it, but I didn't look. I assigned figuring it out to my boyfriend and he said he was going to try some WD40. I'm not sure if he used it or did something but the squeaking sound went away. My breaks squeal a little. I haven't walked through the steps they provided to do a break tune-up so it is probably user error. I think I'm going to assign this to my boyfriend too. The battery came loose a couple times cutting the power. I just noticed it was tougher to pedal and stopped the bike to push it back in. The final con was I really wanted the cream bike but after waiting for three months global supply issues meant I would likely have to wait another three months. So they gave me an option to wait or switch to a bike in stock which is how I ended up with the Navy bike. It is very nice looking and I'm pleased even though it wasn't my first pick. I highly recommend this bike. It was easy to assemble. I think it took me an hour because I carefully read and reread instructions to make sure I did it correctly. I love this bike. It is super comfy and gave me an outlet to be physical activity. I was really struggling with the prospect of never being able to do anything physical until I got this bike. So I'm serious when I say this bike changed my life by giving me back my life. Now I have cute little accessories on it. Love it and look forward to many rides to come.Jeni

After purchasing an electric bike from Six Three Zero for myself, and being pleased with what I got, I ordered a second one for my wife, a 250 w Around the Block. I am just as pleased with this one as I was the first. The assembly instructions were straight-forward, all the parts were there, and it went together easily with a minimum of adjustments. I experienced one problem, with the lock for the battery, but that was instantly dealt with and a new replacement arrived in a matter of days. My wife had not ridden a bike in a long time, but she is now enjoying joining me on our tours of the country roads that we are lucky enough to be near. And, if we go a bit too far, all we have to do is turn up the juice and head back home. Thanks Six-Three-Zero. We will enjoy these bikes for years.George C

I heard about this brand/bike from my sister in MI. She got an AroundtheBlock version and told me all about it and urged me to get one too. I ordered an EVRYjourney 7 speed. I ordered it on Jun 26 and received it earlier than expected on July 3rd ( I am in CA). I was so excited to get this bike and give it a try. My last bike was a normal mountain style bike that was not comfortable to ride for a long period of time. My son (who has put together thousands of bikes for his job) put my bike together quickly and easily and I was off riding away. This bike is like riding in luxury; it’s comfortable, easy to shift and I can ride it for a reasonable amount of time with ease. I love it so much that I have told my friends about it and they all have them now and so do their friends. Their customer service is top notch too. I have actually called and then hung up because I found my answer or didn’t want to wait and they called me back…twice!! I have never had anyone do that before. They are easy to work with and very accommodating. I ride my bike frequently and have gone about 15 miles a day with complete comfort and no issues.snowhiker

I’m only in my 30s but I already have some serious back, knee, and problems. When I found out that the sixthreezero EVRYjourney was ergonomically designed to reduce pain, I got so excited and ordered at the first chance one become available, and I’m so glad I did! The seat is so comfortable, the ergonomic frame design and pedals really do help you sit and ride more naturally and easily, and all this is on top of it being the cutest bike ever! My husband put it together very easily, and every part was packaged well on its shipping journey to Maryland, and we were impressed with the quality. I’m looking forward to adding some fun accessories this summer! This bike is perfect for riding to our country farmers market, and also for riding for fitness on the nature trails – it can handle a lot. Can’t wait to see where it takes me next!annabelle

I'm a 46 y/o wife & mom who has struggled with chronic often debilitating pain for more than 15 years. I underwent a three level cervical discectomy and spinal fusion. While the chronic pain is behind me I do still have some lingering issues. I had a basic beach cruiser for years, but there are so many hills in our area I just couldn’t ride anymore. I needed a bike with gears. I put weight on during this Covid-19 lockdown. I wanted to be able to ride again. To say that I was hesitant to purchase a bicycle online would be an understatement. I did an enormous amount of research and compared bike after bike. I narrowed things down to the EVRYjourney and one other. I read tons of reviews. I liked how sixthreezero helps you find the right bike for your body with BODYFIT. I liked that my EVRYjourney came with fenders and a chain guard. So many bicycle companies these days offer these a la cart. After doing my research and reading review after review I still had a couple of questions about the bicycle options regarding the 7 vs 21 speed gears. Chatting with a rep online was the right way to go for the help I needed. They suggested the 21 speed EVRYjourney since we do have so many hills in our neighborhood. My order was placed and it arrived in 5 days. I am in Southern California so other states would take longer. It was packed very well. No scratches or damage whatsoever. My husband assembled my beautiful cream & orange EVRYjourney in less than an hour. From the very first ride I was in love! The seat is big, nice and comfortable. The most comfortable bicycle seat I have ever had. I have had a fractured tailbone, so this is something I was worried about being a possible issue. The more upright sitting position of this beautiful ride means the bicycle riding isn’t making me feel like I’ve been beaten up afterwards. My back isn’t hurting. My knees, neck and shoulders aren’t hurting! This means I get to enjoy riding and getting my health back. I added a basket to the front so my Maltipoo could ride along with me and he loves it! The wide handlebars are the perfect support for the basket. I can honestly say one reason I decided on the EVERYjourney with sixthreezero was their 365 Test Ride Policy, but from my first ride I have told everyone I know to upgrade their bikes to a sixthreezero bicycle. This is one purchase you won’t regret.STVSGRL

I had this bike originally shipped to my house. I put it together and discovered the back rim was bent and made it impossible to ride. I took the bike back to the local store and all they told me they could do is credit me the cost less the shipping costs I originally paid ($30) because the bike is out of stock in the store. However, for some reason they seem to have the bike in-stock to ship to your house but can’t ship it to their local store. So, in my stupidly to have a pink bike for my girlfriend I ordered the bike again and paid the extra $30 shipping cost again. Well, I assembled the bike and discovered the front rim on the replacement bike is bent. WOW… watch out ordering this bike and having it delivered to your residence. I will be taking the bike back again… what a hassle.Ross

DO NOT WAIST YOUR MONEY! I was in a pinch for a new bike after having my stolen a mont before the 5 boro bike tour. I chose this one because it seemed to fit my needs. I had to take it to my local bike shop because the rear derailleur was crushed, breaks were not set properly, and gears were jammed. I am VERY disappointed with this purchase.JessLorriane

I bought this bike in peach two years ago (during the beginning of the pandemic). I love it! So, I decided to get it in my favorite color (PURPLE!) for my upcoming birthday. The front wheel was warped. Walmart had no immediate way to resolve the problem. So, I bought another of the same bike. Again, the front wheel was warped. I called the manufacturer and had to provide lots of proof, including a video. They are going to pay up to $25 for me to get the wheel fixed. This has been a major hassle!Trinity

I'm not exactly the steadiest person in the world (or the most graceful) so when I needed to look at options for having a bike as a way of transportation, I started to do my research. Now it took me a few weeks, I even borrowed a few, 4 different bikes from friends to try out. I finally knew which brand I wanted, Kent, but I didn't know exactly which style or color, so I walked into my local Walmart and started test driving them all! I rode quite a few bikes throughout the entire store. (sorry Walmart!) But as soon as I sat on the rose gold Bayside, i knew it was a perfect match!! I ride this bike everywhere! Thru everything! It runs so smooth and makes it so easy for me, that it's perfect for an old girl like me. Ive ridden it through the rain, I ride it in the scorching sun, uphill, downhill, even against the wind, and its still riding as smooth as the day I bought it! Promise, it's well worth the money that you spend on it and it's a fraction of the price at other places! Atleast once a day, someone compliments me on what a beautiful bike I have. I'm so happy I took the time and waited, and did the research, it has definitely paid off in the end.Michele

I do love this bike but I was not happy by the main part to the handle bars being striped to the point where I cannot ride it without the handlebars falling down. I did reach out to Kent where I got immediate assistance and my part to fix this issue will arrive in a couple days. It was also very difficult for me to put the bike together, you do not get any tools even though you need tools, and specific tools to put the bike together ( wrench, allen keys etc. ) and you will be dealing with brakes so I do recommend having a professional put your bike together but I will say inside the box I got a card from kent stating if you bring the bike to Walmart they will put it together for free- so don't buy the 65 dollar fee to put your bike together because ITS FREE! I do wish that the bike didn't take so long to be delivered but I realize that COVID has messed up the ease of buying a bike. I would estimate about 2-3 weeks it took to receive my bike from the date of order. Now on a good note- the seat is super comfy!! The bike itself rides smoothly and the color is beautiful. I will say that I thought this bike would be too tall for me being I am 5'1 and this height was recommended for 5'2 and up but on the lowest position and you are able to tilt the seat forward too, I was able to sit on the bike and hold myself up off the floor without falling. So overall I gave this bike a 4/5Derek

I got the XS size for myself as I am just about 5' high and a beginner as an adult cyclist. The order and delivery after the pre-order date was amazingly fast from AB to BC. I was very sceptic about buying this considering the price and delay. However, the pre-order waiting was 100% worth it! It arrived perfectly within 2 days. Even though I had to send it for assembly again that costed me and additional CAD 80 at a local shop – once it was done – I had the best ride in a long time. The bike is extremely light, great for riding uphill and rough terrain. I haven't tried mountain trails yet, but I'm sure this will be great too. I'd 100% recommend this bike for anyone who'd like to start, looking for a small size, lightweight MTB! Its just the Best!Radiya A.

Left brake lever is making noise the entire time you ride this bike! I'm not talking about squealing sound from brake pads when you press the lever, no. I'm actually talking about a constant noise coming from the lever itself when you actually don't press it! It's like something is lose inside the left lever and even if you ride on an asphalt road it makes the noise the entire time. As a matter of fact, the only time it's not making the noise is when you press the lever to brake! It's so annoying. Also, the saddle is very uncomfortable, so I decided to try the saddle from my other bike on it, however I couldn't unscrew it! (to remove or adjust the saddle)! It's so overtightened in the factory that it's impossible to unscrew it! And believe me I'm not weak! I'm a man with enough muscle to unscrew these things and I'm into biking for years. There were also some chipped paints on the bike when I received it (I picked up the bike today from store). Overall, a big disappointment and waste of time. I'm returning this bike. In my opinion this is a very overpriced low quality bike from a big brand. I've had a higher expectation from Cannondale. Good thing that I bought it from REI, at least I have peace of mind that I can get my money back and purchase a better bike.Life12

I got tired of the drop bar position of my last road bike and decided to try the disc 3. With a few minor changes I'm pretty happy. I swapped the cassette out for a Shimano 11/36 for better climbing and got a slightly wider bar than the stock bar. The disc 3 is fairly light and the steering is very fast, meaning I've got to watch that i don't overreact when entering a sharp turn. Overall its a fun bike and i can take it anywhere i used to ride my old Topstone,Lazlo

Light, agile, responsive, and fun! The SP connection built into the handlebar mount is great. My phone locks in and off I go. The Cannondale app works well and was easy to set up with the sensor already mounted in the wheel. It gives gives excellent instant feedback. The geometry is good for me, I’m a 5’5” female with shorter legs and longer torso. So far, I’ve only done city riding loops of 10-15 miles at a time. This is my for fun riding bike.Kenneyc

To be fair, my previous cruiser was a Trek however it was 12+ years old and time for a replacement. I also needed more gears to handle the more hilly neighborhood I moved to. I had high hopes for this bike after reading reviews. While it is cute, the quality meets the price. I am asking a lot of this bike, pulling a child trailer that can weigh upwards of 80lbs loaded with a toddler and our beach gear. However with my Trek, I never felt like the actual bike couldn't handle it or that it could bend or break. With this bike, I do get nervous and am doing silent prayers on the 2 mile roundtrip ride. The seat is not the easiest to adjust, after I had a bike shop put it together they adjusted the seat without me testing it after (don't recommend that btw) and so I tried adjusting it when I got home. It still becomes loose while riding after tightening repeatedly. Overall, if you are just pleasure riding it's probably fine. If you want any utility out of this, keep looking. I think I will give this one to my 17 year old daughter and keep searching for me and the toddler/gear. For the price, I feel like the quality matches.Robin C.

An OK beach cruiser, but to be expected at this price point. The bike is very nice to look at and is a nice color scheme. I’d say the bike is a little heavy for an aluminum frame. Does not do a great job of handling even the smallest bumps. Also, the packaging was very disappointing. Huge hole in the box with gear chamber exposed and scratched. The plastic guards that are supposed to protect the bike were all snapped and laying at bottom of the box. It certainly seemed to me that this was a returned bike that was re-packaged.Thomas K.

I love the bike overall. Not hard to assemble, although the instruction details could have been worded and demonstrated better. The style is classic beach cruiser. Ease of speed. The outcome is decent, except for the reflectors that I received were broken in transit. Emailed the company in regards to the reflectors and they wanted pictures of the broken items. Not a problem, however, I just spent over $500 for the bike and basket. And they're acting as if I'm trying to get over on them about some reflectors. I ended up going to purchase reflectors because I don't have time for the shenanigans. I was considering purchasing a few more products from them. Absolutely NOT!!!Marquita L.

I purchased an Around the Block, 7-speed bike for my wife. I have to say that it was a great choice for her. I wasn't scared of the fact that you have to assemble the bike but was dreading the process. I have to say that the entire assembly procedure was easy. Much of the bike is preassembled. The accompanying assembly booklet is well organized and instructions are very clear on what to do and pointing out the pitfalls to watch out for with certain steps. But I found the online assembly video most helpful, being able to listen to and see the step as it was being done. Being able to stop the video and complete the step was very helpful. All in all, assembly was a piece of cake! Quality: first rate construction. Comfort: my wife loves the bike and how it feels. Color choices: very cool! It's very comfortable on long rides. The 7 speeds come in handy for hills. Shifting is a breeze, very smooth and quick. I would highly recommend this company for any of its products!bassoonorama

My new sixthreezero cruiser bike arrived sooner than expected which was a nice surprise. It came mostly assembled; the final assembly took less than an hour. The dark blue color I chose is gorgeous and like no other I’ve seen. The single speed cruiser style is exactly what I was hoping for in an easy to ride bike with no shifting necessary. It’s as cool to ride as it is cool to the eyes. It’s both a throwback to my childhood and a modern streamlined smooth ride for my future. It’s also a great workout bike when I want to tackle a street incline. It’s an all around street bike for the neighborhood, and it arrived in time to welcome the spring air.NJane

I bought my Around The Block men's bike in June 2020 as the pandemic quarantine lifestyle made clear that I needed a new form of exercise. I haven't ridden a bike for like almost 2 decades. This bike was EXACTLY what I needed. First, it was super light and easy to put together which was a major plus given that we had it delivered to our home. Also, the paint finish (I got Olive Oat) was just elegant and modern. I love the appearance. Most importantly, the ergonomic design really is a revolution in how I ride bikes (they have a nice video by the CEO about their design philosophy…this video really got me curious to try their bikes). To put it simply, I grew up riding bikes with my upper body and arms crouched low and forward. This bike designs it's pedal orientation and handle bars to force you to sit upright (head high) and your pedal motion to be forward of your torso. Honestly, it took a few rides to get comfortable in this position (my muscle memory tried to keep me arching forward which took some mental training to stop). Now that I am used to it, I can 100% attest that this bike design is the CORRECT riding position for leisure biking. My back feels like a million dollars riding this like this and, moreover, keeping your head up and your hands forward really catches the sunlight, scapes and breezes and it feels like the aesthetic pay off of riding in a top-down convertible! Sixthreezero made an incredible bike and I am glad I got one; I highly recommend it for anyone else looking for a leisure bike.E.Gannon

I absolutely love this bike. I have always wanted a beach cruiser but women’s cruisers are generally not made for tall women. Enter ThreeSixZero and their genius inclusion of a “will this bike fit my body” calculator on their website. I entered my height and weight and it gave me a list of all the cruisers that would work for me. I was able to buy with confidence that I wouldn’t be smacking my knees on the handlebars. I chose the single speed because there is some assembly required and I didn’t want to deal with brake lines or complicated gears. The bike came very well packaged and was really easy to put together; I was riding my bike within an hour of opening the box! My husband was instantly jealous of my new ride and I ended up getting him his own cruiser (again using the calculator since he’s quite tall) for Valentine’s Day. Now we take rides together any chance we get, and often choose to ride our bikes to the store instead of wasting gas taking a car. I can’t recommend this company enough!RisW

I purchased the Around the Block Men's Bicycle. I had one issue when tightening the saddle so that it did not tilt downward when sitting on it. I tried to lock it down, but overtightened one side until the threads deteriorated and the nut popped off. This was my fault, and I should have tightened both sides evenly. I mention this because the customer service to replace the saddle was fantastic and I did not have any issues tightening as intended after receiving a new saddle, which was shipped promptly. But after getting the saddle secured, I had an issue tuning the braking mechanism on the rear tire. The rear tire itself was warped to where I had to choose between rubbing slightly on the brakes every revolution, or opening the brakes so much that it had no braking power. It took a lot of tuning, but I eventually found a brake setting with minimal rub and moderate braking power, and just relied on the front brakes after that. I have no doubt the customer service would have also responded to this issue, but after the saddle thing I kind of wanted to figure it out myself. Still, the rear wheel did come warped and I could have pursued getting a new one. Everything else was good and the frame and gear mechanism seemed like quality parts. Due to the warped tire, I would give 3/5 but the customer service is 5/5 so average review is 4/5.curtisbrian2

When covid and lockdown first started, I was looking for fun and effective ways to work out at home/socially distanced. A friend suggested getting a bike and I began researching different options and brands. I was (and still am) a total newbie but sixthreezero seemed like the right move based on reviews and price point. I ordered a bike and it arrived ahead of schedule and was incredibly easy to assemble. I was up and riding within a half hour and WOW. The reviews just didn’t do the bike justice. It was incredibly comfortable and SO FUN!! I would highly recommend anyone to try a cruiser bike from sixthreezero. You will not be disappointed!Cactuar94

Excellent bike. Very smooth riding with a comfortable riding position. Quality parts from Shimano make for fast shifts with good gear range. I ride primary for aerobic exercise and find the bike gives me a great workout while providing a smooth, solid ride. I assembled it myself but needed to have a bike shop to fine tune the front disc brake and true the front wheel in order for the front wheel to spin freely. (Although the bike comes with all the necessary assembly tools (hex wrenches and pedal wrench), the included assembly instructions are not very good w respect to the front wheel / disc brake assembly). But as it turns out Vilano explains that you need to have a bike shop check the assembly in order for the warranty to be valid … not something I knew going in, but the bike shop’s assembly review and front wheel / disc brake tuning ($80) gives me added peace of mind. I should add that Vilano customer service is outstanding. Their toll free phone automated attendant menu could do for a few more option selections to make things more intuitive, but once you get through to the staff they is great. They give you the sense that they are genuinely interested in helping you solve whatever problem you’ have. They listen well, seem to be very knowledgeable about the product and follow up as promised. Overall I’m very pleased with the bike … smooth and solid with good quality parts. Would I recommend and buy again – Yes!Michael L.

We ordered this bike for our teenage son. We added the Pro Build, since we don’t have any close bike shops and we knew he would ride it right away. The bike came on time and packaged neatly. Our son put it together in about 15 minutes and took it out for a ride. So nice that it worked perfectly! Totally worth the slight up charge. The bike looks and feels great for the price point; matte finish, lightweight frame, responsive components. Our kiddo is very happy!James K.

I researched bikes in order to find a hybrid bike that delivered more road performance than trail, at a reasonable cost. This one fit the bill and I believe is a clear winner in the price range $300. It does take a while to set up, and you should understand bikes or bring it to a shop to handle that for you. I understand bikes and I still became tripped up on the front derailleur, and it took me a couple days of working on it and reviewing video to first see where I messed up in attempting to fine tune it and then figuring out where to set it back to where it originally was set and then fine tuning it from that point again once I realized that's all it needed. The back derailleur and the disc brakes also needed adjustment and I did fine on them though but again, you need to understand bikes and also to comprehend videos on the subject matter. Took the bike for my first ride recently, so this is a maiden voyage review of approximately 7 to 8 miles on steep hills. It performs admirably on hills, where the 24 gears are a must! The bike is a performer for the price! Tires felt strong, frame is solid, disc brakes are great. The seat may need to be changed out for comfort, however, they are cheap enough and for the price of the bike, should not be considered a deterrent. It is better to NOT have a front shock for more road use, as that absorbs energy going up steep hills and that's what I needed this for. Had the bike pushing 40 m.p.h. or over and was very stable. Be sure to check the wheel hub and brakes prior to doing that though. Five stars for the quality on price point and the outlet shipped it fast and delivery time is reasonable. Remember, assembly IS required. The bike is solid but will need some adjustment once assembled though, so your call on how you do it, yourself or professionally, as it can be quite frustrating. If you were worried about quality, don't, it will get the job done for leisure to intermediate riding endeavors I believe based on my first take. I will update this if I have any major issues.Alphonse I.

This is my second Firmstrong Urban bike. My first was a one speed, and though I loved it and it was perfect for riding around my community, I also would go out on 20 mile rides through park and preserve land where having a three speeds would help with days of higher wind or when I was off a paved path. Love my new three speed even more!dmw452

I love my purple bike. Three speed is perfect mix of function and simplicity. I’m a heavy out of shape lady with stiff joints. I found it comfy yet good exercise.Easyridelady

When we bought our shore hone we were looking for the perfect exercise and relaxation equipment. Our bikes from Firmstrong have been just that. They are the perfect compliment to our time at the shore!Diggerdavid

Hard to find a decent single speed bike with an awesome colour. This bike is actually for my special needs son and we have spent a long time trying to find a comfortable bike for him that is a single speed. I finally found it and and I will be a lifelong customer to Firmstrong!!Susanna C.

Overall I like the way the bike rides. It is easy to pedal, even uphill. But I hate the color! It is NOT the same pink as in the picture. It is closer to lavender than pink. I should have traded it out when I picked it up, really wishing I had.Daisy

I bought both a 26" 7-speed and 24" 3-speed Urban lady for my daughters. No issue with the 24". I think the 26" may have been a refurbished item. When I received it, the front brake was not assembled and since there were no directions on brake assembly (not just adjustment) I assume it wasn't supposed to be that way. I also noticed that on the 24" there was a removable plastic film over the gear indicator. That was not present on the 26" gear indicator. Plus there were some light scratches on the underside of the gear selector knob. Also, the gear selector knob took much more effort to downshift than I expected and what is required on the 24". Not impossible to shift, and it seems to shift smoothly, just takes much more effort and a bit of a nuisance. On the 26" 7-speed, I was unimpressed with the brake and wheel. The front wheel seemed not quite truly round which made the wheel stick to the brake. It took a lot of fiddling with the brake to get it acceptable. The 24" bike was no problem and is just fine. I'm glad I have both to compare to one another which makes me think the 26" was a refurb.William T.

The bike itself looks great and appears to be very well made…. The only reason there weren't five stars were due to the assembly instructions. They could have been a little clearer.Bruce J.

This bike shipped quickly and arrived a day early. It exceeds expectations in every way. It took about 15 minutes to assemble. i'm glad I had metric wrenches or else it would've taken a little longer. With one, almost trivial, exception: no pretty decals for frame and chainguard.ChrisG

Choosing my bike was eeaaasssyyy! I love the color, and it took a lot less time to assemble than I thought it would. I love my BIKE!!!Sara B.

It is a pleasure to ride and a fun look. We debated about single or three speed. Very happy we chose the multi-speed. The posture this bikes places the rider in is very comfortable. Not that leaning, straining ten-speed of our youthCharlevoix G.

The bike is fine for light riding with a little bit of a bump and rattle.The Seat is the worst,very hard and narrow,but I have a seat cover over it.Medium Weight and nice to look at.kerry

I bought this bike a month ago. I was so excited when it arrived. I started putting it together and found out the frame hooks to hold the wheel are bent. Called customer service immediately, the lady I spoke to sounded like she could care less and said she’d sent a replacement part. Still waiting on the part to arrive. Guess I’ll ride it next summer.Sheisart

This was purchased for our granddaughter, very happy with the quality and ease assembly, well thought out. There were a couple of minor problems due to shipping damage and Huffy handled these without question. Very Pleased, as is our granddaughter.Henree

I honestly will be buying from Huffybikes again in the future since My Bike package arrived sooner than expected and came in great condition. Overall, I love the bike as well as the colors of the bike. My daughter loved it. <3CinnamonBon

Bought online. Quick delivery however video provided didn’t cover this model. Put together and when riding chain was catching on the side and front wheel wasn’t moving smoothly. Took into the local Halfords who made some gear and brake adjustments on the spot which was great. All seems good now but still early days.Mike ss

Great looking bike. Easy to assemble. Instruction manual in the box did not apply to the bike in question, however once we came to this realization, the rest was easy enough to figure out. Seat height is very easy to adjust (nice feature). Stand included. Hand breaks are a little difficult to reach for our seven year old, however it may just take some practice. Bike pre-set was in 6th gear, so make sure to change before having your child ride for the first time (otherwise difficult to start pedaling). Bike does not have predrilled holes to accommodate a water bottle holder (a bit disappointed in this, but perhaps this is standard for a 20"). Overall very happy.First time purchaser

Hard to get. Had to pick up from a store 15 miles away. It came assembled which I did not know was going to be the case. Make sure you have a bike rack or a big trunk. Rear brake very loose. Rear wheel not completely aligned. Came that way or happened in car? Don’t know. My daughter liked the bike overall so we got it repaired instead of exchanging it for possibly another bike with issues. Will be purchasing the warranty.BostonM

I have had this bike for over a year and still love it. I ride it on short rides (5 miles or less) and it is perfect for the price and what I need it for. As a middle aged person I have to say the front shock and extra shock on the seat post are absolutely awesome Features and make it feel like riding on a cloud. It looks like it is going out of stock now but I hope for the sake of whoever is reading this and needs a bike, that it is back in stock soon because it’s a good value for the money for the recreational rider.Northstar Apple Probably

Honestly not sure what I would do without this in college. I've had this for a year now and it is still functioning just like when I first purchased it. I love it so much that I decided to write a review for other college students looking to buy a bike. The fact that this bike has gears is a definite plus (don't get a cruiser for college) for when you're riding up/down hills or late to class and need to get there quickly. The back rack clasp is perfect for holding large items; I've used it to carry a sleeping bag and even used it to carry a rolled up mattress topper when moving dorms. I've even had friends sit on the back rack when going places and have had no problems. The back rack has the additional perk of being able to install side baskets to carry smaller items like mail and bags. Because of the slope-shaped frame, you can also install a lock holder so that your U-lock can be conveniently held against the frame. It comes with a bike stand, which is important to have if you want to lock your bike to itself instead of finding something to lock your bike to. I also love the electric blue color of the bike! It stands out and is easy to find when I park in busy areas. Overall, this bike comes with everything you need for a college bike, and I'm confident that it'll last for all four years.Alisha
