Zike Sabre Hybrid Bike - is it for Adults also? All of the reviews mention young kids enjoying this bike. Is a good workout for an adult or is it just built for younger kids?

How do you transport a Zike? Does it fit on a car's bicycle rack? Fold up to fit in the trunk or hatch?

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

I am an adult female under 200lbs - I'm 5' 5" and I have absolutely no trouble riding the Zike Sabre; it's completely comfortable and doesn't feel or look too small. It is however a tough workout for the lower body!!!

saber is the only adult model .Zikes specs say up to 200 lbs , another site said 250 lbs

I am an adult and under 200 lbs. However, I'm 5'8". Would this be too short for me or are the handlebars able to be raised?

Yes, it is great for the size/age. Might be tough on his legs getting used to it, but that is normal. The construction on this bike isn't as good as others -- but for the price this is perfect for the age!

Yes, this is for an adult. But any tall kids who are taller than 5 feet can ride the bike as well.

No. Based on what I saw with my two kids, multiple neighborhood kids, and visiting cousins, no kid can "ride" this bike. It is low, awkward, uncomfortable, un-ergonomic, etc. It looks cool, so kids will be excited to sit on it. Aftwr two minutes (MAX) attempting and failing to find a way to have fun with it, they'll get off and never get back on. Buy a different balance bike, or better yet, stick with a good tricycle until it's time for a bike with training wheels. Learning to pedal is more important at this age anyway.

It is suitable for adults, my 14 year runs it around, has no problems with it. It actually is a bit intimidating to me. I would ride it, but I would probably hurt myself. Seems rather big to me

This bike is a fixed gear bike. I bought this bike for my grandson, he wanted one and loves it. He is 18 years old. If you under stand how this bike performs, then you might like it. he rides with out brakes, and loves to go very fast.

An adult could ride this. I think it would be a little dangerous for a child because it takes coordination to ride, & attention to stop. That being said, It's not a "flyer" as far as I'm concerned. It's definitely a workout, but not fast. I wish I wouldn't have purchased it.

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.

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.

I am considering a 231 model. I have had a 201 model for 2.5 years.... had to have a flywheel in it for this exact problem after one year. ... now the 201 model is doing it again, and it is out of warranty. .... is the 231 built with better components?? By this post it sounds like it is not.. I bike on this a ton... every day. up to 80-100 miles on a good day. Seems like a waste if it is not. I bought Schwinn because I though the components were the best. .. and not so concerned about the bells and whistles. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

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 love this bike it was easy to set-up and now overly big in size we have it sitting in the extra bedroom. I Jazz daily so use it for extra exercise, bad weather and days without Jazz. My husbands uses it as much as I do maybe even more. He had a hip replacement and the doctor advised him not to use the treadmill because it is hard on the artificial joint but the bike is a OK as long as he is not doing 300 miles a week which we are not even close. I find it quiet and enjoy the ride. I can watch TV or read while I am exercising. For the money I am happy with my buy.

I got this for my granddaughter when she turned 7. Se is very athletic and has good balance. It would be great for the 6 year old if he can balance his bike without training wheels. The 9 year old would like it unless he is a "big or heavy" kid", then it probably wouldn't go fast enough for him. The reason I say that is because both my granddaughters can ride the one I got, but it goes real slow. Hope this helps.

It can be used by an adult just fine if your not extremely tall or heavy. I got on it and kicked my behind but didn't break the scooter. My siblings all have been on them and no issues. I am not sure why one would be looking for this for an adult anyways. We have 2 several years old, Garage kept every night, maybe left outside a handful of nights. We have 11 grandkids oldest is 13, they no longer use them, they are to tall and not interested in them, boy is over 6ft now and girl is 5 6ish. Our 5,6,7 year olds love them and fight over them. The 4 and younger have no business on them unless they are super super super balancers and not terribly short. It requires lots of motor skills when they come flying in the driveway and keeping it from slinging you off if it slings around. They have potential to be dangerous. Like I said it takes learned skill and motor coordination and balance. The only thing really wrong with one of ours after all the abuse is no breaks on one. lol that stops no one. Im here today to purchase 3 at this price, heck yeah 50$!!

I wouldn't recommend this bike to be used as a fitness bike. In my opinion (not professional) i don't thank that it would be safe for anyone over the age of 60. The wheels are very thin and can be a bit challenging to balance it you plan on carrying some extra gear on your bike. Although this is an Excellent bike for commuting to grocery stores and riding around town. My mother is 65 years old and she loves to bike ride. She attempted to ride my pure fix bike, but fail at doing so. She told me that the saddle and The handlebar are far apart watch makes it uncomfortable for her back. She actually have a hard time getting on and off the bike due to the straight bar (non Dutch) style. I wouldn't recommend this bike to be used as a fitness bike.

I rode something very similar to Jetson once and it was hands down the best electric bike I have ever ridden. It was lighter, faster in acceleration, and more maneuverable than and other electric bike I have been on before or since. Unfortunately it was a only demo from China, brought in by our company president or I would have bought it. Believe me, I sure tried!
