smooth ride, back wheel does move which can cause an accident. I wouldn't expect that for having it for such a short time.

The action of this device is very smooth and the stability of the double wheel design is a great improvement over the older single wheel models.

The first effect was an incredibly smooth ride from the rear tire, which always seemed to bottom out, or hit, even single up while on stock shocks.  Now it has the 'glide' kind of ride over ridges or coming off speed-breakers, which would jar or 'hit' earlier--- On highways, with this new found penchant for plastic emulsion stripes at pedestrian crossings, that give this numbing effect and shake the entire bike up, not only the front kind of responds with the jumping effect over the stripes, while the rear glides almost effortlessly over them... I would say I got them for $475- so we are good- In addition, I purchased the 13" size available in this now discontinued 440 series, so that has two effects- its sharpened the steering effort and coming from the Sportster background, almost a 'cool' effect as the otherwise long and sluggish responding Supler Glide now has added zip- all this due to the sharpened rake. 412s are available for 300, and some 970s for some 900+ so the market is wide. The products are good and I am happy with the purchase, my second set of Progressives, for my second bike.

Ive put quite a few miles on these wheels now. And, the only complaint i have is that the bearings seem a bit slow overall. The wheels, themselves are really nice and soft (NOT for sliding!) and make for a pretty cushy ride. And although the bearings are a bit slow, they would still be totally fine for some downhill or even flat if you don't mind pushing an average amount. They are far better, still, than bearings you would get on a cheap Wal*art board or something. Just don't expect pro level speed/distance out of these. Id still suggest these to a friend (and i have).

Wheels are a little too far out on the board which caused a fall due to it hitting my kicking foot. Otherwise, it's a nice board. Smooth ride.

Really smooth as first,  but now they kinda feel like any other wheels...

Delivered on time and well packaged.  The back clamp tightens very nicely, but the vibration from the motorcycle causes it to slide.  Added some foam tape to the handle bars, problem solved.

This bike is sturdy and heavy, but we wanted the big flywheel to get the most out of a workout. It was not difficult to put together. It's nice to have the seat and handlebar adjustments so the fit is comfortable. The seat is reasonably padded and I do not find it uncomfortable - but I am used to a racing bike type of seat. My iPad rests on the middle grip bars, so I turn on an audio book and go. The reason this gets 4 stars is that some of the adjustments are a bit touchy. When the flywheel is tightened, a slight turn of the knob will often put so much tension on the wheel that it's difficult to peddle. Also, the pressure can steadily mount up on the flywheel as you go along, without making any adjustments to the knob at all. I also didn't realize that there is no "coasting" on this bike, so an injury could result if you forget this, which is why stores that sell similar bikes put locks on them to protect customers from using them without supervision. I prefer a stationary bike that can coast, but have adapted to this style.

The first drawback is that you can not install a standard kick stand because that spot is fully welded, which means your only option is the kind that mounts near the rear wheel. The second is the adjustment levers for the fork suspension seem to do absolutely nothing. Other than those two issues it rides on the flat road well and on the dirt path excellently. The quick release makes it possible for me to take the front wheel off and place the bike in my Ford Escort Sedan if the back seats are down. I've only taken off the front wheel because I'm timid when it comes to dealing with the many components on the rear. I haven't dealt with the stock seat that comes on the bike and upgraded to a cushiony one the day I bought it.

I wanted this product because of the large flat surface for my feet.  They were noticably hard to spin. On my first ride, I got a clicking sensation on one of the pedals, repeatedly, on the upstroke.  Rather than return them, I decided to dissasemble, regrease, and adjust the tightness of the retaining nut.  Now, they seem to be great..and spin freely.  I was lucky because I never worked on pedals.  They are a lot of tiny ball bearings inside that require careful handling.

The seat tends to slide a little, and it can feel a bit odd.  Once you get used to it, it works.

Heavy bike.  Front wheel was a bit wonky, but had it straightened.

I bought this trike recently and, while there's been small issues, you cannot beat it for the price! I didn't buy from Amazon (sorry!) but shopped around and got it w/o paying any freight or additional cost. Yeah, it does ride rough but I believe that's simply a characteristic of recumbent trikes. (My wife has a TerraTrike Tour ll and it rides pretty rough too!) I've had no steering issues and I'd imagine that's an assembly issue, not an issue of the trike itself. You do need to have a fair knowledge of bike mechanicing if you plan to assemble this trike yourself. While I'm not 100% sold on the seat, it does fit me just fine, is comfortable, and actually cooler than I thought it might be. Might I have been happier with another brand, maybe, but I'm very pleased especially for the amount of money I saved.  As far as weight, it's comparable in weight to my wife's TTTll. Main thing is it's really long! I won't be shoving it in the rear of my wife's Kia when I take her car for service, I'll use my road bike for that!

Takara Sugiyama flat bar sinle speed bike is a great ride at a great price.
It took approx. 30 minutes to set-up out of the box; very straight forward.
Added toe clips and water bottle cage. I did remove kick stand as I don't
feel I need it. Bike came with blue front and white rear tires. Although the
look is cool the quality is low end and after getting a flat after first ride
I'd highly recommend spending the $20 per tire to get "beefier" rode tires. I
hadn't been shifting my old bike (20 years plus); keeping chain in middle front
and 16 tooth rear thus the single-speed was not much of a change. I will say with
out the gear configuaration in the rear it is a much smoother ride. I know the rear
wheel can be flipped to make it a fixed speed, but I like the advantage of being able
to coast at times with the single speed side. So, easy assembly and a great price. If
better tires I'd have said 5 out of 5 stars. I give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Riding Trikke is sort of cross between a scooter and roller blades. Pretty nice workout as it is it comes with a few limitations. First of all I cannot manage to make it through most inclines but the milder and shorter. Anything steeper and I end up pushing it. Even when you look at instruction DVD video clips, the incline they ride up is made to appear steeper by angling the camera... Another thing, with polyethylene wheels you need to have really smooth roads as all the bumps transfer to your feet and hands. Thirdly, although most of workmanship appears pretty good, the front wheel is not aligned with the handlebar and the angle is not adjustable. Not a major thing but annoying on occasion.

Despite these flaws we take our Trikkes quite often for a spin in the neighborhood and enjoy it.

Front fender dented, no big deal should still work fine. Then got to rear wheels,pole that goes through wheels was bent causing a squeak, nothing I thought wd40 could not fix, but after allowing grandson to ride for a while I noticed the rear wheels coming out of round and appears to wobble. Grandson does not care but I wonder how long it will still be rideable.

I love the spinner but the back wheel doesn't spin.  Kind of disappointing, but it is enjoyable nonetheless.  Good quality.
