The bike is well built, very sturdy, everything functions quite smoothly. The bike is a bit heavier than I had anticipated. A very good looking bike, sleek with a great color scheme, and I am not just saying that because it is the colors of my favorite hockey team, Go Bruins!!
It is quite fun to ride, smooth and efficient, it moves out almost effortlessly. Great for me because I ride for fun and pleasure, not for fitness. However, the gears are available for those who want to get that constant burn. The seat isn’t the most comfortable, but not enough to make it an unpleasant experience.
I have always been partial to Schwinn, what you get for the price makes it a good buy! I look forward to the many fun years this bike will bring!
In my mid and late teens I got into BMX and although I never did any huge tricks or caught major air, I enjoyed the heck out of being able to whip my bike around and hop off with no concern of falling. I finally gave up on BMX in my early 20's and got a mountain bike. I broke my BMX bike a number of times and had to fix it myself, so I was comfortable wrenching on the mountain bike. One thing I never did though... was adjust and modify the mountain bike to fit me. It was also too big, and I never set the seat height right, so riding would make an old right knee injury flare, making my knee ache. I just quit riding bikes altogether.
Fast forward to last year, I bought a couple of e-bikes here on Amazon and have loved having a motor to help me get moving. Both bikes are again too big, and I've sold one of them. But, I modified the one I kept to fit me, and while dismounts are a little sketchy, I can comfortably ride it! One thing I learned from this is, if your seat height is incorrectly set, your knees may hurt. I'm finding that with a properly set seat height, my knee doesn't ache, and I thus don't need a motor to help me out. I decided to get a standard bike, but one that for once isn't too big!
If you're still reading, thanks for bearing with me. My point here is 1. This bike fits me and 2. I am not a bike mechanic, but I've wrenched them and I've assembled two of them from shipping boxes, so I've got experience.
Now, onto this bike: As summarized in the review, I rate it depending on the customer's experience. If you're handy or experienced and are patient, this bike is a solid value and a decent performer. If you aren't handy, aren't familiar with the workings and assemblies of bicycles and don't have a friend at a bike shop, you're gonna struggle with this bike.
Packaging: This needs improvement. Both the e-bikes I've bought here on Amazon arrived with minimal box damage and no damage to the bikes or parts. Contrarily, this bike has a couple of nasty scratches on the frame, parts of the bike had punched through the box, and the front brake rotor was bent from the impacts.
This bike comes with no tools, and a very crude "manual" that's more of a disclaimer to cover Pacific Cycles than it is to instruct on assembling and using the bike. You might be able to glean some hints if you're hung up on assembling the bike, but the manual is wholly insufficient to guide you in any aspect of assembly, adjustment, tuning or use.
As mentioned, the front brake rotor was badly bent. I do not have a dedicated rotor alignment tool, but I made do with an adjustable wrench and a lot of care and patience. I got the rotor mostly straightened out, but this obviously isn't the way to properly fix this issue, so try at your own risk!
The assembly went well, though I swapped the cables on the brake levers. The bike came with the left lever controlling the front brake, the right lever the rear brake. I am a street motorcyclist and occasionally ride ATV's. Such vehicles control the front brakes via the right lever on the handlebars, so that's what my muscle memory is coded to. I've heard there's a law that states bikes' controls have to be set up as was mine out of the box, but I'd rather not mess with muscle memory and my safety rather than abide a law I can't find evidence to and that seems very irrelevant today. Plus, who's going to stop me and make sure my cables are routed?
Tuning and adjusting this bike has not been fun. With my e-bikes, I was able to assemble them and be out riding them in just a couple of hours, only adjusting their rear derailleurs after a couple rides as needed. To even be able to ride this bike, I of course had to readjust the brakes since I swapped cables, but I had to adjust both front and rear derailleurs, and that's where I'm annoyed.
The rear derailleur was like most I've worked on; just pull the extra slack out of the cable, fine tuning the indexing, and it was good to go and still shifts nicely. The front derailleur was a mess! The limit screws were SO TIGHT. They were literally tightened down all the way and attempting to shift would either just grind the chain against the next cog, or the derailleur cage would jam the chain INTO the next cog, causing the cranks to seize up! I've got it dialed in to where I can shift through all three gears, but I know I'm going to have to dial in the front derailleur again really soon, as the cage rubs badly in the middle gear.
So, finally having set everything up, I SLOWLY aired up the tires to 60 PSI (I air up tires in increments, first to 10 PSI, then 25, then 40, etc. This seems to help with reducing the chance of pinched tubes) and haven't had any issues with popped tubes. Finally getting out to ride this bike late that evening, I was pleased that 1. This bike fits my 5' 10", short legged frame very nicely and 2. This bike is quite a nice ride!!
The included tires are clearly lower quality, but they give good ride quality for what they are! The included seat feels just fine to me, but I can see how some folks would hate it. The front shock felt balanced out of the box; Soft enough to absorb SOME shock, but not so soft as to parasitically steal pedaling power away from you. The brakes are my biggest complaint riding this bike; They feel dull and unresponsive. So long as this bike proves to be solid otherwise, I see myself replacing the brakes completely.
I've been enjoying riding this bike overall though! I've already had a coworker guffaw at me since it's a step-through frame design, but I have that confidence I had on my BMX bike; I'm comfortable hopping on and off this bike, and my seat height is set properly, so no knee pain!
In closing, I again return to my summary: If you're handy and don't want to pay bike shop prices, this is a decent value. But if you're not handy and you're not dead set on this specific bike, just pay a visit to your local bike shops. Find one that has good, honest salesmen and mechanics, and just pay extra to buy a bike from them. You'll be happier in the long run (or ride, rather).
Then halfway through I noticed some parts wouldn't go together at all Like screws won't it and the handle rubber would go in I took half assembled bike to Walmart and then asked for someone's help to buy the parts and finally assembled it. It was such a nightmare I absolutely condemned the person who packed the products or whoever it was manual, and parts are the first thing you need. I was more tired of all the effort to find and figure it out than I would have after ridging it.

After the call, they sent me an email containing links on how to set up the bike and adjust the brakes. However, even after watching those videos, I still found it challenging to set it up correctly. When I requested reimbursement for the local store's assistance, they refused to provide it.
Feeling frustrated, I went to a local store, and they quoted me $140 to get the bike properly assembled. At this point, I decided to return the item, as the overall experience was disappointing. I strongly advise against purchasing any bike from them.
