Yep. It screeches as I peddal which is very annoying. I believe the problem is that the seat is held to the rail with a single screw, the one that determines the location on the rail. That's where it wobbles, I don't see any way to remedy this other than trying to stuff something in the gap between the rail and the seat holder. Very poor quality.

Yes, I just got my bike and the seat wobbles a lot. I crammed some cardbd in where it appeared to be wobbling, but it only improved a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions???

Yes, this bike works very well. I have not had any issues. Very stable and dependable.

Sorry for the delay... I bought this for a gift.. I haven't heard of any complaints of it wobbling, but was told that they really liked it as it made things much easier... not much and hope it helps.

I had no issues assembling this bike, there were, however, parts missing(nuts and bolts) i replaced those got the bike together and went for a short ride to test it all out before i let my GF(who the bike is for) ride it. Well i immediately regretted buying the bike. The frame is bent and pulls to the right. i should have spent a little more and got a better bike. She seems to like it overall but she also regrets the purchase and i probably wont ever buy a bike off amazon again because of it Local Bike shops for me from now on. the 6 speed gears are a plus. having the baskets is nice but the whole bike seems poorly engineered.

NO, I never had any problems of the displays going out while peddling. My bike still working very good. The only problem I had was the angle of the display which was difficult to see but I put some longer bolts to fix the angle and since them everything has been working perfect.My suggestion could be that some connections might be loose, in other words they are not making a good connection. There is plug connector inside the tube that hold the display. Also they might need to check the connection under the display. And last thing the power jack on the bike might not be making a good connection. Those are the suggestions that I might consider checking.

Mine was impossible to put together. I am very good at assembling things. The legs are moderately heavy and unwieldy, but you don't have to carry them around, just sorta haul them into the right position. UNFORTUNATELY, the holes on the legs were misaligned with the handle bar. I called to complain and was told to box the whole thing up and UPS would pick it up and replace it. So I muscled everything back into the box and it was picked up. I just got my replacement...handlebar. So I have a handlebar to nothing. And there's no phone number to call Gazelle. I'm frustrated and out the money so far. ^_~ Mine was impossible to put together. I am very good at assembling things.

it is a fantastic bike with some cons..... the bike runs good and holds a good charge. The couple cons are the only button on it plays a funny song; it doesn't sound like a motorcycle. The other con is it did not hold up to my sons demeanor. What I mean by that is my son "PLAYS" with his toys, he is hard on them and it broke at the neck of the front end. I actually snapped right in two. He was riding it and trying to pop wheelies and snapped it. My son and his cousins played on it for eight months before it broke. The heaviest kid we had on it was around the 100 pound mark and it did fine that way. it is a fantastic bike with some cons..... the bike runs good and holds a good charge.

I've had no problems with noise or wobble as yet. I've had the bike for around 6 months.

They pedal back like a coaster break, very easily actually. Keep that in mind however when you are pushing them with the handle, we've had a couple gut checks because of the break! I also saw your comment about not getting a response from the manufacturer, we were having an issue with the pedals engaging and they responded within 24 hours. It's a great bike, well worth the investment.

I traded this bike in for a better model. After my 4 star review, the pedal cracked and I had to replace it ( 1 weight 180 lbs). I sold the bike to a friend and bought the higher end model used at the gym. I am very happy I did. These bikes weight 100 lbs (give or take) but I suggest getting the higher end model. I had no problem with shipping because it was included in the price. Assembly was not a problem. Updgrade to the higher in bike like I did.

Did it work when you got it, if not Amazon/mfg should replace it. If it just quit working possibly the contact to the peddle became loose or disconnected. I have a pretty rough 4 yr old who rides & bangs into things all the time but so far I have not had any problems with it. I just wish it was a bigger so he could keep riding it when he gets bigger!!

mine wobbles a bit too. I believe the grinding mechanism is soft mounted to reduce stress on the parts, and that means a bit of movement when working. I don't believe either of us has anything to worry about.

I personally own this bike, and weigh over 300lbs. I did have a problem with it right after I bought it though. The first time riding it I was going up a small hill and the chain popped. I don't mean just came off the sprocket, I mean sheared in half. I simply brought it to a bike shop and had then put on a better quality chain. I haven't had a problem with it yet. I use it on the street, and even take it off road sometimes.

Wish I could help with your question. For me, it's a great bike, but the tires that came with it were too narrow for the best ride, even on roads. Changed tires and it's a great ride.
