Why are there differences [i.e. curved handle-bars, amongst other things I've noticed] between these on amazon, and those on TikeBikes' website?

This is a GlideBike: http://www.glidebikes.com/ezee-glider - different brand. Most of these differences are more about preference. Personally both of my children love the design of this bike and a drop-tiered frame is more about aesthetics than anything else.

If u check my review I updated it stating they did change the picture after I complained. Other than the circles design on the wheel it is what I got. Actual design I got looks better IMO. It is good for the price, my complaint was due to me getting this bike when they had a different picture representing it.

BTW, we'd highly recommend getting the Stealth PBO wheels vs the Stealth SS. The PBO spokes are incredibly strong and also absorb vibration like few others. They make the bike much smoother over rough surfaces.

Thanks Todd for the info. We are actually getting a refund from them as well. We were going to go out and buy the extreme bike with the refund but now I think we will just save our money. Thanks for sharing your experience! You have been very helpful and probably saving us a lot of time and hassel! You are right about one thing though They do have great customer service.Melissa

Hi,I'd go to Blackburn's website to get the most accurate information. Also, I had to convert to a quick release on my rear wheel (for me it was easier than I thought).

Because they don't care Mark. This bike has serious design flaws and is stocked with sub standard parts from China and Pro Form makes (Made) a lot of money off this bike. I wish I had never purchased mine. I suggest you put a complaint on their FaceBook Page, you might get some help to repair one if you own it but they will not refund your money, it's gonna take a class action lawsuit for that to happen...sorry

I've owned both, used for MTB. Like someone said before, different design on tire gauge, and frankly the MTB version is easier to read. both are great, but the road morph broke on me. MTB version is beefier and def more appropriate for MTB, probably because of the volume required for the significantly fatter tires. You're just pumping a lot more. It's a bit heavier...but it's awesome. you'll *almost* be stoked for a flat!

On the bike I received the grips are round and both the grips and seat are leather and by Gyes. When I look at the pictures of the bikes now they look different and they may have changed.

No problems here, but totally different bike. They tend to be smaller than stock and come with foam to shim the battery if needed. The terminals have the nuts for the cable bolts attached at the terminals. Very nice feature. Love mine.

That makes more sense, thanks for the explanation. Not being a dealer on Amazon I didn't know you guys were roped into bar-code specs, shipping specs.Best of luck and carry on...

Not to my knowledge.....different models may be different sizes but this particular bike only comes in the one size. The whole idea is that it is compact....however, the handle bars and seat accommodate almost every size. This is a great bike. It is built solid and rides like a dream.....it is geared so well that you forget you're on a folding bike with smaller than usual tires. I took mine to the local bicycle shop for the minor assembly that was needed but if you're handy and knowledgeable about bikes there's no reason you couldn't do it yourself. Bottom line: I love my bike! It performs as well as the top of the line Trek it replaced and I've not had one moment of regret!

Most riders have road bikes with really good handlebars on them to start. The curves on those bars offer 3 different hand positions. But on hybrids or bikes with straight bars, putting aero bars on them means the more bends there are, the more options you have for hand placement. I usually only see the ones like these if I see them on a triathlon bike or something similar.

too many variables. What kind of handlebars? Where are the shifters located? Where are the brake levers? I used them on an older (late 90's vintage Trek 850 hybrid) and on a kids Trek mountain bike.

I just put my bike on crooked using the frame, but it would no doubt be better and more stable if I got a cross-bar adapter such as the Allen Sports Tension Bar Bicycle Cross-Bar Adapter which is one of the less expensive of such bars available on Amazon. May be I'll order one, myself :)!

The only difference that I can see is this frame has a name on it. And the frame on the bike I have has no frame. I believe it was made for shimano by the same people. All the equipment seems to be the same.

I just noticed that as well. The bracket design is different between the two sites. Nevertheless, I bought the one from Amazon and it works like a champ. No issues...

Call up Schwinn. They are nautilus now I believe. Make sure they they send out your order. Have your amazon reciept ready from the bike.
