Is this a good bike for riding on dirt roads? Or can someone suggest a good bike for dirt roads? thanks!

I would say no, it is not. My reason being that it has very large, narrow tires which glide wonderfully over pavement, but would probably not fare very well on sharp edged stones or gravel. I would suggest a more rugged "mountain" style bike with the wider tires and possibly a longer travel suspension.

I have had this bike for a year and it is wonderful for riding on both paved roads and dirt roads. I absolutely love this bike. It's comfy, stylish and useful!

I would say no. This is a beautiful cruiser with gears (basically) i think out would survive a dirt path but its more for cruising pavement or boardwalk. I think you're looking for something with a lighter frame and sturdier wheels (i am guessing the dirt road would have grooves and bumps). Try going to an REI store and asking the petiole

Not so sure about dirt roads, but the bike is poorly built. The bolts and machined parts do not properly fit, steer clear of this bike......

A very strong and tough cart, but to make it last a long time, I would not recommend using on dirt roads. I used it on grassy hill with a heavy load. It worked, but was hard on my back to push. Smooth surfaces, the cart maneuver easily.

I would say no, It would be fine for an occasional commute, but for a regular 15 mile commute no. There is only one gear, and it is low so hills are quite a workout. and the seat is very firm and the tires are 20 inch so there is no suspension so you feel the road. If you are going to regularly commute 15 miles get one with a more comfortable seat and larger tires.

hard dirt would be ok i suppose, i would try and stay onroad with it. mud or loose dirt wont destroy it but you wont get very far on it..

I am new to biking as well and probably wouldn't be able to provide a good opinion. This website should help with choosing the type of bike for your needs: https://www.ebicycles.com/article/what-type-of-bicycle-should-i-buy.htmlIf you'll be doing any offroad riding, you might want to go with a standard rigid-frame mountain bike and not a folding bike according to what i'm reading on the internet.

Works well in both but in dirt, like any bike, you have to keep the chain lubed and clean. My son is 7 and we have it on the highest setting and it...MOVES FAST! But for a kid nothing they can't handle.

We ride ours outside up and down the driveway, and occasionally on the road. It can handle minor pebbles, cracks, bumps. I wouldn't go on a particularly rocky road, however, since the wheels aren't that big.

I weigh 290 and I've ridden it for 45 min. around a fairly hilly neighborhood. I'm very satisfied with it's ride time. I did put the hill climb kit on mine because of my size.the frame is sturdy and I've hit some pretty good bumps in the road with no damage. I would recommend that you check it over after every 3-4 hours of riding just to make sure the suspension hardware is tight. I did notice a couple fasteners that had loosened up.

the single speed is quite easy to pedal on flat land, however small hills are quite a challenge. I have not tried the 3 speed so I can't say how that performs on hills.

This bike is only good for street use if tires are replaced with street tires. Its awesome with street tires

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

I would recommend it but must tell you that when I was in Sam's club last week the had a schwinn adult trike with 3 sppeds that looked to be much better quality and if I had my choice of it or mine I would choose the Schwinn. The only thing that really bothers me is not being able to use the rear fenders. Because of that, if the roads are wet , it kicks water up on you. Other than that, it's great

I primarily bought the bike for its size. Its handling on trails is good. The tires are sturdy enough for me; I weigh 250lbs. I was never worried about the tires slipping. Replacing the inner tubes is the only think that I don't like about the tires.

I have never tried, it is raining cats and dogs right now, but I will try and look tomorrow. I can say that it is a good bike. Had a little trouble with the gears but nothing that couldn't be adjusted.

I am very happy with the bike, except that I would have preferred handbrakes. However I am getting used to the footbrakes. The bike is heavy. It is probably not possible to make a lightweight bike 'step through'. I recommend it and I would buy it again

Hi,I really haven't done much off road.The throttle switch is plastic and I was afraid it may break.I have done curbings,lawns,and some crappy roads.Handles well on these surfaces.The tires seem to be cracking on the sides.Little disappointed only had it a year.
