What is the difference between this bike and this one: http://www.amazon.com/Performance-Hyb...

This Vilano has linear pull brakes, or V-brakes, (used on hybrids and mtn bikes) which are much better than the Performance Commuter's caliper brakes(used on road bikes). The Vilano may use caliper brakes but the Performance Commuter cannot use linear pull brakes (due to lack of mounts). But you can get the expensive dual-pivot caliper brakes that can match the performance of linear pull brakes.

What is the brand/model of the stationary bike? If I see the (stationary) bike in question, I may be in a better position to advise. Cheers, OCTrojan

The biggest difference I have seen (we own one of each) is that the shoulder straps are stationary and a removable cup holder on the performance ride. The seats themselves are very similar. I prefer the performance ride for ease of use, but that's strictly my opinion.

Sorry, I do not know the difference. If you do a chat with a tech on Amazon or call them they will tell you. They are very helpful.

That's a good question my friend. The one I bought here at Amazon.com is not the one that is currently shown/sold here.The one I have can be seen here: http://outdoorgearmadness.com/mongoose-status-3-0-review (the bottom picture is actually my bike :) -- I have nothing to do with the website though) The page also include some reviews and comments about the bike. I haven't had any problems at all with mine.

BMX refers to the style. It's a dirt bike with knobby tires. Unlike some bikes that have smooth street tires.As far as I can tell, the handlebars are not any further away, but they are adjustable, as is the seat height.It's a good, tough little bike. If you have a kid that you think is going to ride the heck out of their bike, this is the bike. We're still happy with ours...

I don't know the difference between them. Purchased mine fall of 2012. Works perfectly. I use mine exclusively for parking the bike upright in the garage after each ride. Cradle locks it in securely. No fear of it falling over.

Hi,This cycle won't stack up against the pro bike you're used to 100%. For the price, it's just not possible. BUT, with that being said, I personally haven't found a pro bike that it doesn't stack up to based on price and quality. I've had mine for a while now. Not only was set up easy (roughly 45 mins as the previous user stated) but it has been working exceptionally well since I bought it. You are most likely used to a bit more in terms of bells and whistles, but this bike cuts that out (lowering cost) while maintaining amazing quality. I would sincerely recommend this bike to anyone; it has been that great of an experience having one. Hope this helps! Hi,This cycle won't stack up against the pro bike you're used to 100%.

Check your bikes there seems to be two different bikes, that or similar, on Amazon.com. the one I purchased has handlebars that are closer. And did not cost as much as the other one.

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

I had no issues assembling this bike, there were, however, parts missing(nuts and bolts) i replaced those got the bike together and went for a short ride to test it all out before i let my GF(who the bike is for) ride it. Well i immediately regretted buying the bike. The frame is bent and pulls to the right. i should have spent a little more and got a better bike. She seems to like it overall but she also regrets the purchase and i probably wont ever buy a bike off amazon again because of it Local Bike shops for me from now on. the 6 speed gears are a plus. having the baskets is nice but the whole bike seems poorly engineered.

I don't know the difference but must admit that I am happier with this one more than the previous one, it seems lighter and more durable. Sorry can't be more of help

What is the difference between this unit and the unit sold by Harley Davidson?

in between mountain bike and regular tires. The bike is a pos though. I already returned it and went to a real bike store. Save yourself some aggravation, go to a real bike shop.

Minor difference in technical specs and / or components. As far as I can tell, the last significant change was around 2010 when they went to a rear disc brake. The 2014 spec shows shimano derailleurs which I think is a fairly recent change as in earlier models they used SRAM derailleurs. Overall, I don't think it's worth losing much sleep over... The Paratrooper is really solid bike in my opinion.

In my experience they have about the same range. They both use the same motor and battery. The only difference is that the SS motor is factory set to run up to 28 mph. If you were to put both bikes on a flat surface and run them at max you would go a few miles further with the SS. But rarely do you run at full throttle all the time when riding normally.
