sixthreezeroEVRYjourney Women's Hybrid Cruiser Bike, 7-Speed Step-Through Hybrid Bicycle, 26 Inch Wheels, Mint Green with Brown Seat and Grips

One of my favorite activites as a kid was riding my big cruiser bike with my sister (who was on her cool Spyder bike). As an adult, I have had various bikes along the way. I've owned two Trek comfort bikes and loved them. I have been a decorative painter for many years, but then morphed into real estate heavily the last five years. So even though I have been too fat most of my adult life, I was strong from all the ladder climbing and walking -- until real estate took over my life. Haven't gained weight, but the muscles deteriorated! And my knees and hips have rusted up like an old truck. Welllll, last September I embarked on a food plan (RFA -- Kay Sheppard plan) and recovery. So far I have lost 60 pounds, with about that much more to go. One of my goals was to start riding bikes again, since it's my favorite exercise of all. I still have my beautiful Trek bike of many years, but it's a very big bike and a male version, so mounting and dismounting has become painful on this aging body. It even kind-of scares me because I feel I can't get off it fast enough. It ended up being hard for me to feel safe enough to ride. We live (in the coolest old Victorian house) in the middle of a small town, where it has been my dream to ride around and shop with my bike. I was so overweight, I needed to lose a good bit of weight before I was going to be able to bike. I had a "milepost" in my weight journey, that I wanted to buy a more comfortable bike when I had lost x-amount of weight. I simply love the look of a beach bike, and have seen similar models every time we go to the beach. Alas, I was getting close to that number when my 60th birthday was approaching. I had been researching bikes and found this Evryjourney bike. After using their website to ascertain which of the bikes suited my body and lifestyle (with the Bodyfit app), this seemed liked the right one. My four grown children and my husband bought this for my birthday (after I sent back the funky techno watch I didn't know how to operate)... because of the coronavirus scare, there were a lot of folks buying bikes to ride for exercise and fun...so I ordered it with a promise of a backorder. I figured I'd be waiting for months. But fairly soon, I got the notice that I would be getting it. I could hardly wait! It arrived last Monday. My husband and daughter were busy and didn't want to help me that night, so I pulled it out and started assembling. The instructions were simple, though written in a teeny, tiny font (not good when you're half blind and it's evening time). I kept plugging along and got it almost together when I did the thing -- I dropped the seat tube down into the body of the bike, something which the directions explicitly explained NOT to do. My hand/finger strength wasn't sufficient to get it out, but I have a bike-handy neighbor who was able to extract it. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth. I thanked him and then tried to ride it after I got it together....only to realize that I had not tightened several things enough. Mercifully, I took it to him the next day and he tightened everything and made sure the brakes and gears were right. I sheepishly walked it home. I was still scared to get on it (particularly in front of anyone). I laced up my shoes and walked it to a back street. I got on, shaky and uncertain, and started to pedal. My poor left knee did not want to proceed....but within a few minutes it loosened up and I started gliding, gliding, gliding around the neighborhood. I actually cried, as this sweet, beautiful bike brought me back to my happy childhood....I bought the mint green model, which looks like it popped up right out of Mayberry or something. The body of the bike is very sturdy. The gears are smooth as silk. I had to adjust to the idea of the big, wide handlebars...it's very different than the bikes I've ridden as an adult...but I felt comfortable very quickly with that. I am accustomed to 21 gears, so the 7 gear system is different...simpler but that is good too. I am giddy about this bike. It's a lifestyle-kind-of-bike, where I can see myself tooling around town, shopping and visiting friends, as well as exercising my body in a non-stressful and fun way. I plan to ride this several times a week. I ordered a basket and water bottle holder for it and will probably get some pannier bags for the back rack. We live about 25 minutes from the Silver Comet Trail and I also plan to meet up with friends and family there. I am beyond thrilled with this purchase. It seems like a lot of money to spend on a bike when you can go to Walmart and get a much cheaper one...but I've also been down that route. I needed a bike that could handle my weight and height and give me a comfortable way to get in shape and at the same time be useful for shopping and moving around town. Very thankful to my family for helping make this happen. I hope it holds up -- and it seems extremely sturdy and capable of doing that.

Me encantó, es igualita a la foto.

I do not write reviews first off. But thought I should for this one.First my wife did not want a bike period and was mad when she got whispers that I had purchased it for her as a X-Mas gift.However she LOVES the bike and wants to ride it all the time! So great job designing a very comfortable bike that is easy to ride and looks great as well.A little about me. I am a seasoned RV technician and assembling these types of products is easy for me.Unless the factory doesn't assemble them correctly. And that was our case.The first bike arrived and out of the box was a damaged rear fender. Not so bad that it had to be removed, I would wait for a new one....I assembled the entire bike and the last step was to mount the bike rack..easy right? The factory seised the mount screws to the body. If this was the first step I would have stopped there. But I'm stuck. Long story short the first bike didn't have a rack. And because of this simple mistake if we wanted a rack we needed a new bike.We processed the exchange and a couple of days later the new bike arrived. Thank god I still had the other bike. It took 2 bikes to make one.Another bike with a damaged rear fender. No big deal ..they sent me a new one.Luckily the first step is to mount the front wheel. It was here that we discovered the front brake post the holds the caliper/shoe was mounted crooked. No way to fix that, They welded it in the wrong spot. So I used the forks off the other bike. Not a big deal but suddenly I have alot of time invested in the assembly.Then we moved on the the pedal. Another build issue. They press the threads into the crank. They were pressed in crooked. So the only way to mount the pedal was to cross thread it in. This makes the pedal run in a oblonged fashion but still usable. We would wait for a new crank and upon arrival take it to the bike shop and let them do the swap. Best 10 bucks ever spent!sixthreezero staff had a hard time understanding my issues but finally sent the correct parts. The bike is together as designed and she loves it.If you could speak to the design team I would suggest a different style of mount screw. Torque tip screws don't strip as easy as allen head screws. So if there is a issue its easier to remove them.Over all if the bike had shipped correctly I wouldn't be writing. Hopefully China can get there ducks in a row. Otherwise SIXTHREEZERO could fall by the wayside in shipping cost alone.

---UPDATE---10/06/2019I was able to take my EVRYjourney out for a 45ish minute ride yesterday, and fine tuned my fitment. LOVELOVELOVELOVE THIS BIKE!----No complaints about the product itself, rather I am SUPER displeased with the seller, AMAZON.I purchased this beautiful bike NEW. However, as I got further into assembly, I realized that I had been sent a USED/RETURNED bike.First, after gently unpacking my sweet new ride I found both the front and rear fenders to be bent, as well as the rear rack. As these were easily bent back to their proper states, I didn't take photos or worry.Next, I spent the following hour searching my trash thinking that I had accidentally thrown the little bag of bolts/nuts/washers away, since they were not in the box with the pedals, quick release axle, etc.However, I thought to reference the manual for where those pieces went on the bike, and lo and behold, they were on the bike. This was, at this point more of a relief than an aggravation.As I continued with assembly, I was constantly having to bend or adjust something to prevent it from rubbing on the tires. This was making what initially appeared to be a fairly easy assembly, not very easy at all. At one point I had to make many minor adjustments to the rear brake and fender in order to get the rear brake from hitting the fender every time the brake was applied, and make a god awful clicking noise. While doing this, I discover that the hex bolt on the right hand side of the rear break, the one clamping down the brake cable, was horribly stripped, Fortunately it was not horribly tight, and a slightly larger hex key worked to make the adjustment that I needed.After several hours of bending and adjusting, bolting and unbolting, then bolting again, I was in the home stretch. All that I had left was to attach the rear rack. I found another stripped hex nut on right side upper arm attachment. This one would not budge for penetrating oil, vice grips, gentle taps from a hammer, and even a heat gun. I mangled that bolt trying to get it loose. I really wanted to get it out with the threads intact. But after a long fight, I accepted the truth.Finally after getting an extractor kit and a tap and die kit involved, I finally got the bolt out. As I backed it out, I realized it was cross threaded by whoever had put it in. I re-tapped the hole, and use a new hex bolt from the local hardware store to replace the FUBAR one.After a 10 hour fight, all was finally right with the world. I took her for a quick test ride up and down my street, made two more fender adjustments, and she was done. I am VERY HAPPY with my new bike, and look forward to riding for fun as well as commuting to work again.HOWEVER. If not for me having a mechanical background, and a respectable collection of tools, I would have been screwed at about the 5th hour in, when I first began trying to negotiate with the cross-threaded bolt. I think the average customer would have been forced to return the bike, and hope that they didn't get another effed up one on the exchange. I work night shift, have tools, and know how to extract bolts and how to thread holes for new ones. It was much less of a pain in the @ $ $ for me, personally, to do the fixes myself, rather than to disassemble the bike, repackage it, load it in my car, and start the return process.I only had time for a quick test drive, not even five minutes, due to needing to get to work (yes I stayed up all day putting this bike together/fixing it). From what little time I had, I was overjoyed with my new bike, though I am certain that I have, in advance, voided the lifetime warranty that can be purchased from sixthreezero for $39.99. A few minor adjustments need made in regard to handle bar and seat position, but I am super happy. I give sixthreezero FIVE STARS for an excellent product.I am giving Amazon.com Services, Inc ONE STAR for sending me a USED and DAMAGED 7-Speed EVRYjourney, AND for charging me the price of a NEW 7-Speed EVRYjourney. For the time and money spent assembling and repairing this damaged bike, I would hope that a partial refund is given to me.

This bike was very easy to assemble and is great quality! Totally worth the money! Functions great, and is very easy to ride! Are only draw back was the color! It's more of a bright sorta neon green! And we thought it would be more of a bluish green color! But overall great quality and purchase. In the end we ended up returning this bike and getting the turquoise bike from this same brand! And my daughter LOVES that color even more! So I would definitely recommend this bike! Just make sure your okay with having a more neon green bike!
