Stowabike 26" MTB V2 Folding Dual Suspension 18 Speed Gears Mountain Bike

okay so i bought this bike on the 29th of november to get from work and back and to store in my new york apartment to save space, my total milage which is about 8 miles in total a day. ive put probably about 300-400 miles on it and no i am not a hardcore biker doing 30 miles a day or something like that. but this bike definitely holds up to my current use, now if your a hardcore biker doing 20-30 miles a day i can see how this bike probably isnt for you. its a inexpensive bike but well worth the money. i will update in a couple of months and let you guys know how well it holds up. the folding frame is definitely a plus, safe and very well made. the frame by itself is solid and not cheap at allas far as weight limit, i am also a 6'0 335lb man and this bike still holds up well as the suspension is rated at 750lbs limitincluded in the box-bellbike reflectorspedalswrench multi tool to assemble the bikeallen wrenchinstruction manual (not very good/useful, but i dont know much about bikes and i set it up in 30 mins)also to note the bike arrived with the back wheel loose i had to get it fixed by a bike shop and also the bikes tires arent trued but its to be expectedPROS-price range,quality tires, folding frame,easy to assembleeasy to fold they will reimburse up to 50 dollars for any bike shop repairs you do on the bikeCONS- bike seat, definitely buy a better bike seat is its cheap and extremely uncomfortable,right shifter is almost of no use. the chain just keeps skipping the whole time. this could just be a defect in my own personal casethe plastic components on the bike will definitely need replacement as time goes by.all in all, its a quality bike for the average user with 10-15 miles of use a day, if your a more seasoned bike user than you should definitely look elsewhere as this bike is not for you*UPDATE FEB 22*Bike still runs smoothly, going on 8-10 miles every day, first thing to break was the right shifter, but I really only use the left so it’s not a problem for me. No flats yet surprising considering I’m 330lbs, this bike is built extremely well and is really running its course very smoothly with little maintenance.Update- may 2018Bike got stolen lol. Will be buying another.Update- new bike was received. I notice other reviews are fitting in to what people are saying. The quality control on this bike is very poor, ex: the reflectors on my bike wheel were placed the opposite way as well as, my bike may have been a return. Their is wear and tear where their really shouldn’t be. It seems to me I got a returned stowabike, they replaced anything that showed signs of wear, like the wheel, cables, seat. The seat hole has wear where there shouldn’t be on a brand new bike which is what leads me to believe I got a returned bike as well as the fact that the box it came in was a uline branded box, and not the usual stowabike branded box.Main idea: the bike will have some kind of flaw at all times. Whether it’s brakes not adjusted or things being put together poorly.Thank you for reading my really in depth review : )

Put my order in and got the bike right away. I wanted two of them, one for me and one for my wife, but ordered just one first to see what I thought. Took me about 45 minutes to unpack (was really packed well), assemble (was pretty easy) and to make a few adjustments to the front brakes. I was very pleased with the quality of the bike and was very pleased with how everything worked. The foldup feature worked exactly as expected and is reasonably easy to do. The only negative I noticed, and this was mentioned in some of the reviews, is that the seat, even at its lowest setting, is a little high. I was afraid that my wife, who is 5'4", would object. So I didn't say anything about my concern and just had her try it out. I noticed that she struggled just a little getting on but she didn't say anything. She rode it around a little and when I asked her what she thought, she said that she liked it and told me to go ahead and order another one! Although I have not yet put any miles on it to really test it out, it seems like this bike should more than do the job for tails rated up to difficult. Trail ratings of "very difficult" and "extreme" might be beyond the long-term mechanical capacity of this bike. But, I'm not an expert so I could be underestimating the bike's ability (durability) at the more difficult trail levels!Update: May 10, 2016 We liked this bike so well that we purchased another one so that my wife and I would both have one. Second bike arrived, but had a damaged rear derailer. Contacted the company by phone. They emailed me a Fed X return sticker and at the same time shipped a new bike. I put the damaged bike back in the box, took it to Fed X, they scanned the bar code from the email sent to me by the company and we were done. No cost to me to return the damaged bike. New bike arrived two days later and works perfect! The whole return process was totally hassle free. GREAT customer service from the company! If you are in the market for a folding mountain bike at a reasonable price, look no farther!!
