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

I'm 40 and exercise quite and bit and I think it's pretty easy on any level under 5. Perhaps the best way to say it is when I'm in my exercise room my seven year old daughter likes to hang out with Daddy and she can pedal on the lowest setting pretty easily. Hope this helps.

Its different than an outdoor bike in that it doesn't freewheel so your transition has to be done in cadence. The supplied pedals are good quality but they don't take clip in shoes. I tried a hill climb as you described several times, the bike is plenty sturdy but my knees were kind of close to the brake calipers.. No problem getting my heart rate up into zone 4 seated so I'm not going to bother trying those standing sprints.

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

It is an easy bike to peddle, but this bike is for kids who are five and up. If you are looking for a first time bike for a kid younger than that I would go down a size. It is easier to balance a bike when it is closer to the ground.

No...it is a three wheel bike that Is very easy to assemble but used for individuals that have a hard time mastering the regular bike. IGot it for my Autistic daughter who fell once on a regular bike and would not get back on a regular bike. My daughter loves this bike. They are hard to find but AMAZON made that part easy !

It is not bad. There are about 7 gears so the kills are very manageable. My 62 year old mother rides it with ease.

That's a tough question. I'm 170 and can ride it, but it's on the smaller side because it was designed for a kid so I'd say you're probably better off looking for an adult board.

Used it on a trip that included gravel and paved trail and it worked good in my opinion. When I first got this bike I had not ridden since before having kids so the shock absorption was really nice. Yes, it has a kickstand and the front wheel is a quick release. After the fact I wishes the rear wheel was as well, but you can't beat this bike for the price!

The trailer is the same as a 20" BMX bike, and the rider on the back can contribute to the power needs. I think it is built well enough to accommodate an adult, but it was clearly designed for an adult on the front bike, and a kid on the back.

It has given me an excellent workout. So far I've only used it on the lower resistance levels (1-3). After the first few days, every muscle in my legs got sore. The resistance goes up to 8, and I aspire to one day being fit enough to do most my workout at this level. You also 'get out of it what you put into it.' If you peddle faster, at higher resistance levels, you'll definitely get a good work out. Mine is very stable , but I only use it on carpet or a rug. However, I'm only 5'5" and 135 pounds, and ride for about a half hour everyday. If one weighed 200 lbs. or over, and wanted to ride much more than that, I'd invest in a heavier, more expensive bike.

as far as a workout goes it is very good. but it does have pedals and if all you use it for is arms, it would be nice to modify it yourself with some handle grips instead. My mom use it for her arms as well as legs, its more comfortable for the legs though.

It is suitable for adults, my 14 year runs it around, has no problems with it. It actually is a bit intimidating to me. I would ride it, but I would probably hurt myself. Seems rather big to me

I own the diamond back and I'm a big fan. It's not quite as nice as trek or specialized but then again it's much cheaper and I have had no issues. I've done a couple fifty mile rides on it and it was more than capable of handling the load. Really good starter hybrid bike

Don't know, but if your of average adult size you should have no problem. This is truley a great bike though. Everything wrks just great on it. I get all kinds of comments about how neat of bike I have from all kinds of prople.
