Assuming regular maintenance, how many miles can I expect to get out of this bike? Closer to 1,000? 10,000? 100,000?

I found the build quality of the components (mainly wheels) to be rubbish. but frame seems solid

I've put about 100 miles or so on the bike that has this skewer, but never rode over 20 at one time. That said, I can't imagine why it wouldn't hold up over a 50-mile ride.

I would say its about average. It seems to be about the same as my husbands 10 speed. It's a great bike, I've had it about a year.

Don't buy this bike its unsafe. The brakes barely work. Spend another $100 and buy from a bike shop.

We have acquired 2 each 26" Schwinn Meridian bikes and outfitted them with electric drive mechanisms. They are an excellent bike and we get just over 30 Miles on the one unit - no pedaling; and we get even greater distances on the second generation build. For this range we use a seat with a back support - if ranges are considerable less - like our second bike gets between 50 and 60 miles per charge but it is only used in small spurts like 10 to 12 miles. That one we have not yet put on the back supported seat. They also pedal great if you desire - but @ 16 to 19 MPH I cannot turnthe pedals that fast - so I just cruise and enjoy.

Longest I've left mine is for about a month but my friend leaves his bike on it through out the winter.

Depends on how much you pedal. ;) I often ride 17-20 miles with moderate pedaling, on one charge. Note that I live in hilly San Francisco. :)

This bike will go 15mph on level ground,plenty fast enough for a good ride.I would not buy one because getting it repaired is next to impossible. I am 71 and love this bike however,getting parts to fix it is difficult and shops within 50miles from my home will not TOUCH IT! Buy local and make sure you will be able to get parts.

I have had mine for a year and they are still good. probably 20k miles so far so good.

Usually you will get 3-5 years out of a motor, on average. It really depends on how often it runs.

Sounds like a defective unit. Mine is solid. I've commuted over 1000 miles in the last year with it hasn't had any issues.

it all depends on how much you ride it. ive been using mine almost daily and ive had it for a couple months. it still looks and works like new.

It depends on what you're looking for. I ride a total of about 30 miles a week and found it to be quite light, especially compared to the stock tire that came with my bike. If you are a very serious road biker, into times and distances, this may not be the product you require.

The bike is great, but from my experience the wheels need an upgrade. I'm currently considering what to replace them with. I weigh around 230. I've had to replace 3 spokes in the rear wheel, and I'm having to constantly true that wheel. I ride the bike to work and, given that it's a cyclo-cross bike I ride a short off-rode section. Perhaps on smoother roads the stock wheels will behave better. If you are not handy as a bike mechanic you may need to visit the shop frequently, unless you upgrade the wheels. I still think it's pretty good value for the money.

57. But go with a nicer bike. Buy local. Might be an extra 100 dollars but most shops offer warranties, and when you get into low end bikes, warranties = less headache.

I have not really looked into that my sell because I only have one bike. I would call Allen Sports and ask them. I hope this was help full
