Is this a really heavy bicycle like the mountain bikes you get at walmart?

this is an aluminum frame, which is lighter than huffys or other department store bikes, it is as good as you can get in this type of bike, it will cruise on street or sidewalk, criss crossing grass areas, and the tires are very efficient, and I get compliments on the bike daily!

Don't know about Walmart bikes, but this has an aluminum frame. Lightweight for a cruiser, but not as light as good racer.

I dont find it very heavy, its not really a mountain bike either. I wouldn't take this down a dirt trail or anything, but on paved roads, it light, comfortable, and rides good. Shipping was quick too

Sorry, I never go to Walmart. The bike is not very heavy, but it is not light either. I would say it is middle weight on the bikes I have tested, I guess about 25 pounds (but that is only a guess). I have definitely seen many other heavier bikes than this one, but I have also seen lighter bikes than this one. But it is not in the "heavy" range. Hope that helps.

Yes. It comes with wheels as depicted. Standard Mountain bike tread. 50 psi recommended pressure and ~198 lbs max load.

Yes - Bike is heavy which is good and bad. Good for my college student as it is sturdy and has to sit outside in weather from time to time.

I looked it up. The bike weighs 54 lbs., and the shipping weight is less than 135 lbs. It is a lightweight trike.

No surprise the bike is made in China. Think it weighs about 30lbs, has aluminum frame, had it almost a year. For the price it's a good bike,

Description says about 22 lbs, but that kind of load moves your center of gravity and makes the bike difficult to handle if the load ends up to high

No...it is a three wheel bike that Is very easy to assemble but used for individuals that have a hard time mastering the regular bike. IGot it for my Autistic daughter who fell once on a regular bike and would not get back on a regular bike. My daughter loves this bike. They are hard to find but AMAZON made that part easy !

The website has answers. It is not the world's lightest mountain bike. I bought mine 2 years ago, and it weighed in at 34 pounds delivered, 10% more than the specs promised. This is the 18 inch. As for materials, frame, handlebars, most of the fork, and the wheels are aluminum. My seatpost is steel. Having said that - trust the Montague website, as the components probably can vary over time.

I can't offer a comparison on the bike but the flywheel is pretty heavy...40# is the listed weight. We have been really happy so far (a month or so) with this bike.... I would recommend if the price is right for you... we got it for about $240.00 shipped.

I don't think this would be my first choice for just a regular bike unless you are *really* paranoid about having it stolen. It weighs a ton, it's massive and biking with this thing in your backpack seems onerous. I use it on my Harley Davidson simply because my Harley is expensive and because I have a saddle bag to put it in so the weight doesn't bother me.

I purchased my through Amazon strictly because I wanted it delivered somewhere specific. But Walmart would be a better choice for two reasons. 1 the bike comes assembled which is not hard to do but you do need a little bit of mechanical ability to make proper adjustments. The second reason is for sizing which I did not do and found out the bike is a little taller than I prefer.Hope this helpChris

Hi,I purchased this bike and has front and back brakes, still its very heavy. I placed a 80cc engine and a moped gas tank in it and its awesome.I dont recomend it if you dont live in a flat city, its too heavy for daily use.regards

With the basket mounted to the front wheel, thus bike is not only heavy but difficult to maneuver. The bike also needs to be professionally tuned up to have the gears and brakes work as they should had you purchased it in a store instead of online.

I do not know the materials it's made of, other than to say the one I got from Walmart is sturdy and stable. They are available for personal viewing at most Walmarts or bike shops -- I'd suggest you take a 'field trip' to go ask your question of a sales person, and see them and sit on them in person. All parts are adjustable (handlebars, seat height, etc), and all I've changed is the seat (I got a softer half-seat with springs, because this bike has no springs to cushion your back-bone). You will also need an air pump for the tires. I love it. Enjoy!

It's pretty heavy, around 4-5 pounds, but my bike holds it so I don't mind the weight.

Not completely. You have to attack the handle bars and the wheels. My husband found it very easy to assemble. I've read some reviews and some avid bikers took it to a bike shop to make adjustments in the gears in and breaks. I think for the most part I have not had an issue with the gears, but I do think it could use some professional adjusting. I would say it's a step above a Walmart bike if that makes sense.

Closer to 17.7 lbs for sure. The bike is solid, nicely built and meant to last so certainly a little on the heavy side (especially since bikes nowadays are often made of super lightweight materials and alloys). It reminds me of a really old-school workhorse bike. It's been such a good bike, we're about to purchase a second (in purple) for our younger daughter as well.
