How does the quality measure up when compared to name brand bikes like Nirve and Phat?

I don't know how the bike compares to other bikes, but I do know it is a great bike and I was surprised how great it looked in person.I purchased it for my granddaughter last Christmas and she absolutely loved it, so did her mother who wanted it for herself.

I am not sure about those brands but this bike is excellant especially if you are a tall person. I got my mom the other bike that was white and pink that is for people that may have shorter legs. The only thing is make sure you have someone that knows what they are doing to assemble it was not that easy. I hope his helps.

I rode something very similar to Jetson once and it was hands down the best electric bike I have ever ridden. It was lighter, faster in acceleration, and more maneuverable than and other electric bike I have been on before or since. Unfortunately it was a only demo from China, brought in by our company president or I would have bought it. Believe me, I sure tried!

They look pretty much the same to me, just from different vendors who price & name them differently. I can tell you I am VERY IMPRESSED with my BIKEHAND rack, works great, very sturdy & seems well built. Bet you would be happy with it.

we easily swapped training wheels from an older bike. brand not known, but it shouldn't make much difference.

It is just the training wheels. For a good Honda or other name bike used plan on spending about $1,000. You can find them for cheaper but they usually need lots of work and don't buy the knockoff Chinese bikes. Stick with Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, or KTM.

Have to be careful of what you read on the internet. There are a lot of folks on this forum that don't own a bike nor have they even ridden one since kiddie tricycle days, but are completely engrossed into the space occupied by a supposed 16 pound bike they will not ever own....and that would cost at least $5,000. For a bike in this real world price range (under $500), 25 pounds would be quite light-weight and completely acceptable. The Northwoods I bought for my wife (this model), it is in the 25 pound range (21-24 pounds +/-) seems quite light and sporty. It is not at all clunky or heavy like some bikes you might buy at a department or hardware store. This bike has an aluminum frame and almost all allow gears and components which the dept store bike won't. You could buy this Northwoods with confidence and find it is quite a good ride. On the other side; in only a few rare cases is the shipping weight quoted in an ad anywhere close to correct, nor is the ratio of shipping weight to product weight consistent enough to make it useful.

I purchased this bike at sports chalet. They assemble and tune them up at apparently no up charge. I also purchased my grandsons bike there. Same great results.

I just bought mine before Christmas. So, I have just a few days to ride it. But, I do like what I have seen so far. This being my second year to compete in triathlon, I think this is going to be a good bike for me for this year. Compared to my first triathlon bike, it's a lot lighter in weight and handles well! I hope this helps your decision.

I would go to a LBS and get fitted before buying any bike. Take that from someone with experience making mistakes when I bought this bike.

I found A.M.s response to be absolutely pertinent to the discussion. I'm sure the good people who work for Wald making these racks would also agree. As one who has looked closely at both of these brands I'd buy the Wald every day but one would last the life of the bike. The Sunlite is clearly inferior when viewed in person.By the way, I found your response inappropriate in a forum where people are trying to be helpful to one another.

I don't know the answer to your question. When I bought this bike I compared it to other bikes in the market at the time and I thought it offered the best quality for the price. The fact that it's made in US by an American Company was icing on the cake.

I would say that the quality of all of the current production in the listed brands are comparable. The older Craftsman tools, speaking of from the 70s and 80s, I have found to be tighter when new, and of better over all construction. The GearWrench tools are of respectable quality and are a good value, especially if you shop around and can find a good deal online.

I traded this bike in for a better model. After my 4 star review, the pedal cracked and I had to replace it ( 1 weight 180 lbs). I sold the bike to a friend and bought the higher end model used at the gym. I am very happy I did. These bikes weight 100 lbs (give or take) but I suggest getting the higher end model. I had no problem with shipping because it was included in the price. Assembly was not a problem. Updgrade to the higher in bike like I did.

I am not familiar with the Cree light either but I ride early in the morning and find the Cygolite to be more than adaquate. The steady plus pulse mode make the bike very visable from quite a distance.

This is a well built bike.... it is lightweight but strong.... it is one of the best bikes in its class..You can ride this bike with confidence...

I didn't drive another brand long enough to know about how the two compared. The shifter I had engaged/disengaged the two front wheels from swiveling independently in place (what you need to turn around in a tight spot) and then engaged them to steer with the handlebars.

Its the same model for all years, its a low end bike unlike higher end brands that change model every year. Hope this helps
