Zike Sabre Hybrid Bike - is it for Adults also? Is a good workout for an adult or is it just built for younger kids?

The Zike website says: Are there adult models? Currently all Zike models are designed for children, however the Saber has a weight limit of 200 lbs (91 kg) and is large enough to support adults 200 pounds or lower. A full line of Zikes for adults will be available in the future; follow us at facebook.com/getziked and twitter.com/getziked for updates. http://zike.net/qa.html

Well. It is ok for adults but keep in mind the distance from your hip to your knee! If you are tall then your hip and knee is bent more. And after a while it is uncomfortable!! We had adults on it that were 175 and another that was about 100. They were on together. There was a slight issue with it nosing under on takeoff if you did not scoot your bodies towards the back. For us it was a novelty but it would be much better suited for kids As in elementary school!,

Never tried the Strider but, My 2 yr old and my 4 yr old both use the foot rest. They run and once they are going fast enough they put their feet up on the rest and cruise around. Very good balance bike. Inside of 3 weeks of riding the Kazam my 4 yr old asked me to take the training wheels off of her "big girl" bike. She rides both like a champ hasn't looked back for the training wheels at all.

Yea an adult can use it. We don't like it though. You can only pedal on flat surfaces or down downhill. Very awkward. I have never tried to fold it.

I wouldn't advise it to a child beginner. I would think that it would be too much to concentrate every time you go from standing still to pedaling. The simpler, the better.

Yes, it is a good bike. I bought it for my son who is over 300lbs and he is over 6'tall. It does work for him and he is happy with it.I hope this helps. It seemed to be as pictured.Thanks, Audrey

No this is not for adults. We do have a few listings on Amazon for 150cc and 250cc ATVs that are for adults. Please check them out..

I own the diamond back and I'm a big fan. It's not quite as nice as trek or specialized but then again it's much cheaper and I have had no issues. I've done a couple fifty mile rides on it and it was more than capable of handling the load. Really good starter hybrid bike

hi, this little bike is fast, i raised the bars with 2 inch spacers so my knees won't hit and i'm 150 lbs..this bike pulls me about 30 mph on the street, my back yard isn't big enough for it to wind to that speed, but about 20 for straight streches. they are neat little bikes but, they have very high compresion and are hard to pull thru, once running my gran kids and i just keep it running until we're done with it. it'sforce air cooled so it's ok also, it is kind of loud but alot of fun. good luck, jack.

I think the answers by others are good, but I say no. Go to a good sporting goods like Dick's or [my favorite] Academy Sports and try out theirs. I like my bike but if I was starting all over I think I might go for an eliptical machine.

its for a adult. I'm 39, but I would look for something different now that I have it. It is not a nice riding bike for me.

The adults like it in our family. The more you weigh the easier it is. I would recommend it for a 12yo boy as long as they are good at physical coordination tasks.

I purchased one for my 2 year old grandson and he loves it. Only my opinion, but I would say that your son may be a bit tall for this balance bike. YBIKE does make the Extreme for older kids that may be a better option.

It is not bad. There are about 7 gears so the kills are very manageable. My 62 year old mother rides it with ease.

I am not a child, but I do have the bicycle.. I am 5 ft 1 in and unable to ride an adult bike because my legs are very short due to rickets as a child. My balance is also not that good. My husband has my seat adjusted and replaced the original seat with one that was wider for more balance and comfort. Make sure you have the right air in the tires..it makes it much easier to pedal. She would have to be able to pull the brakes that are on the handle bar, but it has no gears and rides very smooth. I wish we lived close by so she could try mine. I think maybe she could master this bike. It has been a joy to me since I also cannot master a two wheeler. Good luck and God Bless..

' not sure about the bike you've been using at the gym. I used the bikes at the gym for about 6 years. About a year ago we moved to southern Arizona. There isn't a gym that has spinning within 50 miles. I was very Reluctant to buy a bike for home. This bike has been great. It's solid, easy to put together ( a little patience and 45 minutes ), and so far works well. I'm happy with it... I'm sweating and getting a good work out again. My recommendation... Get it.
