Zike Sabre Hybrid Bike - is it for Adults also? Is a good workout for an adult or is it just built for younger kids?

The Zike website says: Are there adult models? Currently all Zike models are designed for children, however the Saber has a weight limit of 200 lbs (91 kg) and is large enough to support adults 200 pounds or lower. A full line of Zikes for adults will be available in the future; follow us at facebook.com/getziked and twitter.com/getziked for updates. http://zike.net/qa.html

It can be used by an adult just fine if your not extremely tall or heavy. I got on it and kicked my behind but didn't break the scooter. My siblings all have been on them and no issues. I am not sure why one would be looking for this for an adult anyways. We have 2 several years old, Garage kept every night, maybe left outside a handful of nights. We have 11 grandkids oldest is 13, they no longer use them, they are to tall and not interested in them, boy is over 6ft now and girl is 5 6ish. Our 5,6,7 year olds love them and fight over them. The 4 and younger have no business on them unless they are super super super balancers and not terribly short. It requires lots of motor skills when they come flying in the driveway and keeping it from slinging you off if it slings around. They have potential to be dangerous. Like I said it takes learned skill and motor coordination and balance. The only thing really wrong with one of ours after all the abuse is no breaks on one. lol that stops no one. Im here today to purchase 3 at this price, heck yeah 50$!!

i am loving it. but i have just started back on the whole working out, and have not been able to maintain the cardio for any length of time. but it is a good bike and it is easy to change the resistence up and down. when i am trying to get more cardio i turn the resistence down a notch so my legs dont get as tired. when i am pushing to tighten the muscles in my legs i increase the tension some. for the price this is a great bike. i have been having severe back pain, which is why i stopped using my other exercse bike, so am happy to have one with back support. hope this helps

hi, this little bike is fast, i raised the bars with 2 inch spacers so my knees won't hit and i'm 150 lbs..this bike pulls me about 30 mph on the street, my back yard isn't big enough for it to wind to that speed, but about 20 for straight streches. they are neat little bikes but, they have very high compresion and are hard to pull thru, once running my gran kids and i just keep it running until we're done with it. it'sforce air cooled so it's ok also, it is kind of loud but alot of fun. good luck, jack.

How about a Vespa? Believe it or not this was fun for about 15 minutes. I had fun but I wouldn't trade my 1966 Schwinn away for it. I really believe it's more for a ten year old than an Adult. But it isn't a huge investment, it folds up and isn't bad to carry. An when you get done it fits inside the closet.

Well. It is ok for adults but keep in mind the distance from your hip to your knee! If you are tall then your hip and knee is bent more. And after a while it is uncomfortable!! We had adults on it that were 175 and another that was about 100. They were on together. There was a slight issue with it nosing under on takeoff if you did not scoot your bodies towards the back. For us it was a novelty but it would be much better suited for kids As in elementary school!,

Is the chain off the sprocket? Is it your first time riding the zike. I thought mine was jamming up, but I found out my muscles were not used to a stairstepper motion ,so it was my leg muscles that needed fixing not the zike, now I can peddle 45 minutes at a time .You have to change gears 1 gear at a time. You cannot go from 1 to 6 all at once.I once had the chain come off the sprocket. I got it back on by rolling the bike backward, it was the only way. It would not go on rolling it forward. Not happy with the gear shifter. I shift from 4 to 5 and it goes to 6. Hard to get it in 7th. I love the zike. I have 2 other bikes , a GT and a nishiki, and I only ride the Zike.

its for a adult. I'm 39, but I would look for something different now that I have it. It is not a nice riding bike for me.

This is our kids second bike and I would highly recomend it. The Diamondback is better built than the other bikes we have bought and is very durable. Our kids ride these on trails by our house and they work great.

Hi Susie, I personally thought this was a great bike for my grandson who was five at the time of purchase. Remember it's a glide and does not have wheels. My grandson loved the bike but preferred the wheels. It is an EXCELLENT 1st bike for little guys. If you have not watched the video please do so. It is great for teaching balance and can not me any easier to put together, 5min. Best of wishes with your decision. Enjoy! Donna K

An adult could ride this. I think it would be a little dangerous for a child because it takes coordination to ride, & attention to stop. That being said, It's not a "flyer" as far as I'm concerned. It's definitely a workout, but not fast. I wish I wouldn't have purchased it.

It's a small little bike designed for a toddler. That being said, my 7 and 9 yr olds ride around on it and have just as much fun! (My kids are on the smaller side) You might get it and think it's much too small but find that it can just as easily be played with. Hope that helps!

No this is not for adults. We do have a few listings on Amazon for 150cc and 250cc ATVs that are for adults. Please check them out..

I am the same height, weigh slightly more, and fit the "long leg" descriptor. The bike does fit my legs. At the highest seat setting, it is just a tad too high, so I use it at the next lower setting. I am not a cyclist, but do jog and play occasional sports and work out and such, and find that the resistance cranks up more than enough for anything I'm trying to do. There is no question that the bike is sturdy enough for someone his size and weight. *edit* I bought this bike Sept-ish 2012 and have used it regularly since.

You'll have to shift into the easiest gear, use the throttle and not the pedal assist. You'll crawl up the hills. You'd probably be better off with this bike http://www.amazon.com/Currie-Technologies-eZip-Electric-Bicycle/dp/B004QHG17O/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1399893584&sr=1-2&keywords=electric+bike+kit. This bike is cheaper and better for adults and you can get a second battery pack for it. With the second pack, it'll still be cheaper than the Skyline and you'll have more range. It's still going to have the same climbing limitations though. Honestly for Frisco hills you'd be better off with a hub motor kit and a lithium battery pack. If you're mechanically inclined at all and you already have a regular bike, you might buy the Currie kit which has a more powerful motor and can also except a second battery pack. The kit comes with a battery pack and if you get a second battery it'll still be below $500.00. It'll be this kit, http://www.amazon.com/eZip-by-Currie-Technologies-IZ-KIT/dp/B002RRBDIW/ref=sr_1_7?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1399894363&sr=1-7&keywords=electric+hub+kit+with+battery.

Yes I would recommend it. I gave it to my five year old and he transferred his skills to a regular bike without training wheels in 2 months!
