I live in Colombia, I would buy this bike, but I worry about the comments related to the problems that have been buyers with packaging and pedals.

My bike was delivered with no damage. After assembled I had it professional tuned at my local bike shop. Very satisfied!

As for packaging, mine looked like crap but the bike was fine. The pedals are regular pedals that you can get almost anywhere if you don't like them... Do make sure you look at the designation on the pedals and put them on the correct side or you will strip them out. You can always reject the shipment (if you are there to receive it) if the bike is haging out of it. Or Amazon is really good about refunds.

I found the packaging good. In fact, I thought it was packaged very well. I did not have any problems with the pedals. I have been riding the bike for about 3 months and really enjoy it. I think it is a great bike.

I have this bike on order and spoke to a sales rep for Prodeco before purchasing and asked him the same question. He said they're available from them for $22 ($12 + $10/shipping). You might want to call Prodeco and confirm this. Sounds reasonable to me.

I own 3 bikes: Brompton, Surly, CETMA. 2 of them are handmade. I do all the wrenching on them. I've tried these pedals on the CETMA. The bearings wore out in a few months. Doesn't matter how much they weigh. They suck. Spend your money on some MKS pedals, instead.

oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive. It's on the way, should I just immediately send it back and eat the shipping charge? I wouldn't be surprised that these are on sale now as Schwinn prob has fixed models out now. I am assuming that if I keep this bike it will crap out shortly. If I do keep it, should I immediately call for the new motor and then the control panel before even using it? Will the original motor work with the new panel? uggggh. not looking forward to this. Any chance we can convince you to put up a website with pics of the fixes?? ; ) oh man, I wish I had found these posts before ordering one of these as most of the reviews are positive.

No. It's really not that bad if you're patient and take your time to assemble the bike. The instructions aren't the greatest, but there manageable. I've been riding some pretty aggressive trails and couldn't be happier with my purchase as a rookie mountain biker.

Dear Sarah, I live in Brasil and I only bought it because it came with warranty. After 6 months of use, I am very happy and there is no problem to relate.PS.: sorry for the english but I hope you understand what I mean.

My son ended up taking the bike to a bike shop and paid about $75 to have them assemble it. Also, one of the tires was defective and had to be replaced. The brakes squeal a bit.... But the bike shop lubricated everything that needed it and got it in ship shape condition. I contacted the seller, through Amazon and they did refund the extra expense....but I don't think I would count on that. It took a bit of haggling.

I think it should be fine, it has a adjustable seat height. I like the bike, You can adjust the tension to regulate how hard it is to pedal. It's a nice bike for the price. Don't expect a expensive one, but it works fine, if you use it.

I think you will be fine. From what I understand from my reading some items if need replacing can't be shipped outside the U.S. but they say you can get a refund. Hope this is helpfull

You probably did not read my feedback. I never received the thing, because the on-line Merchant had lied about it having been shipped. My advice is that if you are buying something from a "Amazon marketplace" from NYC, Miami, NJ assume that they are lying. You will have bad experience (usually out of stock). The West coast people are better since they actually receive most of the stuff from Pacific where things are usually manufactured, and they have not lost all their honesty. Even Midwest and Southwest, including Texas are largely honest. This is result of a clustering problem I ran, and data does not lie. Of course there are always exceptions.

I've never had it happen, but it does warn you in their handbook that this is a bike to be ridden in more ideal conditions. They do however offer a more rugged mountain bike version, but it'll set you back another 1,000$

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

Unfortunately with the amount of miles we would have no way to guarantee the rack would make it in perfect condition. We no longer ship to Brazil. Thank you!
