First, let me say this bike does not provide the resistance of a larger / training bike. However  it does have enough resistance to provide a nice aerobic type workout. I wanted something for warm up/cool down after my workouts and it is perfect for that! I use it on about half resistance or a little more for about ten minutes and I can certainly feel it. The bike came in three days, was packaged very well, was easy to put together, and in perfect condition. It is Very well constructed of heavy guage metal wich more than met my needs and concerns! I don't fold it but that is a nice feature. The electronic display works just as it should. I would surely recomend this bike and of course the price cant be beat! (let my repeat, not for anyone really into cycling or heavy training)

This is by far the simplest beautiful bike I've seen. It's perfect for my daily commute and weekend rides.

So here's the story:
It all started with my two young kids wanting bikes. So we went to a local shop to get them. After they are off the training wheels, they start wanting to go farther and farther. So I was forced to get one for myself. Since it's been a while for me to ride (yeah... it's about 20 years or so) and I'm not that crazy about biking, I was looking for a simple one out there.
After a lot of researching, I came across this Pure Fix. To tell you the truth, this bike is not my first love. But there's something about it that keeps pulling you to go back to it. And the more you look at it, the more you like it. I finally decided to go with it.
When I put my order, it was stated that it will be delivered between 3 to 6 weeks. But after a week, I received an email stated that the bike is ready to be shipped. Awesome!
The day it's delivered, I couldn't wait to open it. The packaging was average, but luckily our FedEx guy is kind and handled the box delicately. He even follow the instruction on the box not to lay it flat on the floor.
The parts are nicely put together and wrapped with styrofoams and bubble wraps. Another plus to Pure Fix!
Instruction is not really detail, but it's a simple bike. So I didn't have any issue assembling with 'helps' from my kids (they are more playing with each part than helping!). We had great time assembling the bike.
One thing that caught me off guard is the wheel valve type. It is Presta valve type, which is not as common as Schrader. And of course I only have the schrader type pump. So I have to wait for another day to get the adapter from our local shop. The wheels are also thinner that I expected, but this is a Road Bike, not a Mountain Bike. I just hope they will last long.

So far, I have great experience with the bike in the last few days. I have not tried the fixed gear, but I'm sure it'll be awkward for the first time and fun when I get used to it.
By the way, I'm about 5'10" and the 54cm is perfect for me.
Thank you for helping me feel how good to ride a bike again after 20 plus years.

I love this bike. I am no pro rider by any stretch of the imagination. I like to ride on canals and on flat trails in the mountain preserve, so no serious use of the shocks. But I wanted a light bike so I could heft that sucker up onto my roof rack on an SUV. It's not easy with a heavy bike, but with this stealth 23lb carbon fiber beauty, it's easy peasy. It's really nice to ride too, and fast!

I was a bit nervous ordering something so expensive from China, and there weren't many reviews on the quality online. I took a chance and was not disappointed. The bike arrived in no time, maybe 3 days. Super fast. I was expecting a couple of weeks, although I did order the one with Prime shipping.

The bike was mostly put together. I added the pedals and I think the handle bars. It was so easy I don't really remember what I put together.

The only think I didn't like were the cheap grips and a plastic stopper to hole them on. I'm guessing it was just a prop meant to be replaced with your own preferred type of grips. I swapped them out after the first ride.

This bike is great in my opinion. I am new to mountain biking and this is the first bike I have ever owned that has dual suspension. It is awesome to feel the bike react to going over bumps and uneven terrain. This is also my first time assembling a bicycle. I had a bit of trouble getting the front wheel and brake correct. The directions are a bit difficult to follow, but that shouldn't be surprising.  When are directions for putting together anything easy to follow?  The problem I was having was after I had the wheel on, I simply spun it to ensure it would spin, and I could tell it was dragging against something because it would only spin for a second then stop.  It took a lot of reajusting, loosening, and tightening before I got it correct with the break and wheel combination.  A bit more work than I expected. Now the wheel spins freely.

The other problem I am having is with the left gear shifter. On the third gear the bike sounds like it is having trouble shifting. I am reluctant to fooling with the gears to fix the problem because I am afraid that I might mess up the smoothness of the other gears shifting into action. Every other gear shifts perfectly fine and quietly. It's just the third gear on the left shifter that seems to be bad. I am new to mountain biking, perhaps I just haven't figured out how to shift correctly yet.

Also I want to make mention of the weight of the bike. It is a bit heavy but I am a firm believer that it isn't the bike, it's the ridder. I'm sure Lance Armstrong on this bike can beat me any day in a race against me riding one of his light weight million dollar bikes.  With a little practice and confidence, I can see this bike being very efficent in strong mountain biking exercise, training, and racing. I am also 5'10", 168 lbs and I believe this bike fits me perfectly- for those of you who were like me, hesitant to buy because you aren't quite sure this bike will fit your stature. I would say this bike is good for those who are 5'9" and taller. I am close to the bottom setting on the seat. Also, the bar in the middle makes me a bit nervous. It would have been nice if GMC angled the bar just a little bit lower. Hopefully I will never meet it, if you know what I mean.

I think the bike is great for the price.  It works just how I expected it to.

Very nice bike for the price, exceeded my expectations shifting performance was on point ,rear suspension softened the road pretty well, the weight actually wasn't even an issue imo (don't take my word for it tho I'm just spoiled by road bike weight). it looks exactly as pictured as well, one thing though I found that me being 6.0 the seatpost was a little too short making it difficult for me to pedal. after a quick trip to the bike shop and 25$ later on a new seat post I was good to go but  Overall I love the bike

This bike is awesome! I have a medical condition that can make me very lightheaded and it can be hard to balance, so having a bike that allows me to go slow if I start getting my symptoms is great. Almost every time I rode a regular bike, I got these symptoms and couldn't enjoy my ride. Since I got this bike, I haven't had my symptoms at all while biking! I also added a handicapped license plate onto the basket on the back and, since doing that, cars have been very patient with my slow speeds.

The bike pedals much more easily than I expected. I'm actually able to coast pretty far on the slightest incline, which is nice. You will not be able to bike as quickly as on a normal bike. I went out with my husband once so far (he was on a regular bike) and he said if he had to go any slower he would fall over. Something to keep in mind when planning travel times. I also really love the big basket - I was able to haul a big bag of cat litter and a big bag of cat food (40 lbs total) and didn't even notice the weight!

I have only had two issues. One was with the seat. The seat that I got was not usable - it kept tilting back and forth while I was riding which was extremely uncomfortable. It turns out my seat was just defective - I contacted Schwinn and they sent me a new one a few days later and I haven't had that issue again. The other issue is easily fixable. When attaching the secondary chain, the directions say to leave 5-7mm of slack. That is too much slack! Keep it tighter than that because it can loosen as you assemble everything else. If it is too loose, the chain will fall off if you hit a large bump. So just make sure to keep it tight.

I LOVE IT!!!  I bought this for my sons 2nd birthday (He's about 35" tall and weighs 30 lbs).  We had it in the house for about a month and he didn't really show much interest, so we finally decided to take it outside and that's when he really fell in love (and me too).  It literally took only a few days for him to start lifting his feet.  After a couple of weeks we was coasting down driveway like it was nothing.  After a month I finally took off the extra wheel in the back and he didn't even notice the difference, it actually made him faster!!!!!  He's on this bike at least an hour a day.  It's super light and he can pick up himself.  And the seat is easily adjusted.  Haven't had to adjust handle bar yet but looks like that'll be easy too.  I very much recommend this bike!!

Over all, this is a wonderful bike. It was easy to assemble. Most of it is done for you. The box it comes in is very large. An average height person should have no problem. I'm 5ft 6in an still have room to adjust the seat and handle bars. The bike is a nice size to ride and the fact that you can fold it is awesome! I would have given it 5 stars except one of the inner tubes popped during inflation. Upon examination of it, there was a white line close to the seam where I saw a 1/4 inch hole. The only other problem is steering. MAKE SURE TIRE PRESSURE IS CORRECT IN BOTH REAR TIRES! IT WILL AFFECT STEERING!!!!!

Very light, compact ,fast and rigid ride .
i like this bike and the attention that it gets when you are riding on it .
i would recommend this bike to anyone who has a question about it and wants a new bike .This is my first and personal bike something that no one bought or give it to me as a gift. .i spend my money it without knowing much about it, I took my chances and it's worth it. But there's something very interesting about shifting the gears. ..that is something Amazon should ask me them i will tell you how it works. ...Easy easy easy. .

We love this so far; it is exactly what I hoped for and my 3.5-year-old loves it. I was a little nervous ordering this--people told me it wasn't practical because it only has one use, and it wasn't the easiest thing to put together (all the joints seemed to need lubrication and it came with a poorly attached back fender which i STILL can't adjust/remove because the bolt seems completely frozen). But I got it together in less than an hour and it does seem built to last and safe. Just make sure to really tighten everything! I didn't get everything perfectly tight at first and I found things kind of moved around after a test ride (not dangerously, but still). Also, at first it was fairly difficult to attach the front post of the co-pilot to the receiver of the adult bike, but with a little WD-40 and some time (and practice), it has gotten much easier.

My child is exactly 3-1/2, and about 41" (which is why she can't fit in our front-mounted seat anymore). She can reach the pedals, though just barely (not well enough to pedal with me yet). Because of this I thought there was a good chance she'd dislike it at first because she wouldn't feel safe enough (and she never hesitates to speak her mind), but she loved it right away! We took a test ride around the block the first day, and a 1.5-mile ride the next. We live in a pretty flat place but we did take some small hills and it felt secure.

The co-pilot will be perfect until she can ride solo on the streets--which will probably be at least a couple more years, because we live in a city and bike a lot in the summer. In the meantime she still has a balance bike she's learning on, and I can buy a used kids' bike from someone in the neighborhood when she needs a bigger bike of her own. In short, I don't find it a superfluous buy and I'm happy with it!

Wow this bike is a great deal. I went to local bike shops to look for a tandem and they all had much more expensive bikes. They were also not as good looking as this bike. The bike came with the front wheel, seats and the handle bars off, so very little assembly was needed. A nice surprise was the kick stand which has a little release button so it is not to hard to kick it in the up position. I added a rear rack which has a detachable basket for those long trips to the park to play basketball or so I can take my camera. The bike is really a eye catcher, everyone we see has a big smile or a nice comment about the bike. If you are looking for a tandem do not hesitate to get this bike.

I was very concerned about buying this bike online and not trying it out first. The price was right, though, so I went ahead and bought it. I am SO happy I did!

The bike is FAR sturdier than I could have imagined for  a foldable, fairly lightweight bike. (It's about 50 lbs, but I, a 26 yr. old female was able to get it up 4 flights of stairs to my apartment with minor huffing and puffing.) It also has wheels so you can easily roll it if you need to move it. My boyfriend put it together, so I can't personally attest to how easy it was, but he finished in about 30 minutes or so and didn't seem to have any problems at all. I immediately jumped on and started to ride and was amazed at how quiet and sturdy the bike is. It also doesn't take up much space at all. Yes, the seat is a little hard and might leave you a bit sore the first few times, but my actual bike seat does the same thing. It's not bad enough to make me buy a gel pad or anything.

I'm 5'10" and didn't have a problem with it, but I could imagine someone a few inches taller not fitting very well. The computer that comes with the bike includes a timer, distance, speed and calorie counter. It will scan through all these options too.

The only possible problems I could see someone having with it are the resistance levels and the computer accuracy. The resistance levels are fine... for most people. The resistance can be set at levels 1-8. I am in fairly good shape and the lowest I can go without feeling like I'm going to fly off the bike is level 5. However, I stick to levels 5-8 and work up a good sweat. I wouldn't want it to be much harder. It's not the kind of bike you can stand up to pedal on, though. My boyfriend loves using the lower levels and pedaling really fast though, so I think it's fine for most people. The calorie counter on the computer is a little inflated, I think, so I just pay attention to my time and my heart rate.

Overall, I love, love, LOVE the bike and don't regret the purchase at all. Especially since it was so inexpensive. My coworker bought one on my recommendation and loves hers as well!

This is such a nice little bike. It was recommended by my son's PT, and although it's a little pricey, it is money well spent.

great bike very easy to assemble....I have been using it 1 to 2 hours everyday for a month... no problems to speak of. It moves and stores very easy. My wife who is very small is able to  move it around no problem. Really great value for the price very professional quality and feel

It's rare to find anything of this quality these days.  I bought this for my daughter for Christmas and was pleasantly surprised when it showed up almost completely assembled.  I just had to bolt on the front tire, attach the basket, seat, and rear storage rack before she was off and running.  Took me about 30 minutes total, and I went slow and made sure I didn't miss anything.  Bike does not have gears, but if your need is just to "cruise" and carry small loads in the basket + storage rack, then this will be a good bike for you.  Fenders will keep rain off of you, and the seat is very comfortable.  I could see my 12 year old daughter taking this off to college one day, and keeping it in the family for a couple generations.  Would be great to leave at a second home for easy transportation (i.e. beach house or cabin), or riding downtown if you don't want to take a car everywhere.

This is a great bike.  I thought the instructions were very easy to follow.  I am a 36 year old female, and I built it in about two hours with my 3 year old son climbing all over me!  The bike is almost silent, but sometimes it makes a litte clunking sound...not a bad one, can't hear it when the TV is on.  This may be because I had to tip the bike up-side-down during building bc my son dropped a wrench down the main shaft that slid all the way to the front of the bike.  The wheel may be unbalanced...so try to avoid that :).  The seat is very comfortable, I love the display and it barely takes up any room.  I keep it in my living room.  I haven't mastered the custom workouts yet, but using the manual buttons are just fine.  I only mark it four stars because of not being able to figure out the custom controls and the clanking (which could be my fault).  Anyway a great bike for someone who wants to read, watch tv, and get a good workout.  It is smooth like the one I have used at my physical therapy sessions, but far less expensive!
