20" Folding City V2 Compact Foldable Bike -6 Speed Gears

At first I was a little concerned about the price because the bike seemed very cheap. However, I didn't wish to spend loads of money on a fold away bike that will seldom get used but would be useful occassionally. My worries were unjustified because this cycle is excellent value for money, well engineered with an super chrome/paint finish. I assembled it without referring to any instructions and tried it in less than hour of receiving it. My 4 year old grandson enjoyed a short ride up and down my drive sitting on the rear carrier, nice addition for so little money, he didn't go much on the cheap bell though.I ordered Wednesday evening and it was delivered Friday morning, simply brilliant delivery and wonderful value for money.Thank you Amazon for finding such good suppliers!!

Handy bike that I use to commute to the Isle of Wight on and off the catamaran. Positive points are it fits into my car boot, runs well, inexpensive to buy compared to others and has been very useful for me. Negative points are only came with 4 gears out of 6 that work after much adjusting only still get 4 gears, very heavy and awkward to manoeuvre if rushing for the ferry and flimsy wheel guards that have bent when folded, odd! Overall it's been a useful bike with a few flaws

I bought this as I usually get lifts too and from work, but some days I only can one-way. Folding bike in the boot? Brilliant, I thought.Let's start with putting it together: the instructions are incredibly vague and the pictures look as if they've been compressed so they're all pixelated. It's lucky I live with an aerospace engineer otherwise I might have thrown it off of my balcony. Even he struggled making heads or tails of some of it.The biggest problem for me was the gear system. On the first time properly riding it, I changed to 6th gear as I was going up a VERY slight incline (this bike struggles on anything that isn't flat concrete) but then when I went to change back, the gears locked and would not move. I got off, I had a look at it - all seemed fine. But the bike just refused to change no matter how much I tried - I actually drew blood from my thumb from where it rubbed against my skin trying so hard. It meant peddling everywhere in 6th gear and getting nowhere.The bike feels cheap. The pedals feel like they're going to snap off if you pedal too hard and I can't even risk standing-peddling for that reason, along with feeling as if the whole thing will topple. The seat is absolutely tiny; I'm an average sized adult and it feels like it should be for a child. The frame also feels like it's going to just snap at any moment. The rubber on the handle is falling off already and frayed after literally two days of trying to use it.This bike has been an absolute disaster - I've been trying to return it with the seller and first of all they denied my request stating they wanted more information (despite providing a lot). Then after giving more, they tell ask me to sign a return note and they state to the effect of: 'if we don't feel the bike is faulty enough then we'll charge you £25 for collection'. So, what's stopping them from just saying it's not faulty and charging you anyway when it is?I've tried to give them my details for a return and then they didn't respond to me. I speak to Amazon to file an A-Z claim and THEN the dealer contacts me again days later asking for my details AGAIN.I'm going around in circles here, much unlike the wheels of my bike which is going in a skip as soon as I'm refunded.Just save yourself the hassle and don't bother.EDIT: I eventually had to call Amazon's customer service and insist on speaking to a manager (I hate being THAT person, but this was going on for well over a month). They had to be a go-between for me and the company and ensure they took their bike back.After another week of the company messing us around, they finally agreed to take it back. Despite telling them my address several times and getting them to confirm it, they sent the collection to my work address where I initially had it delivered.After not being able to contact them to change this, I ended up having to chat on the companies website and request a change. Upon requesting, one of their staff told me 'its not going to happen' and told me I'd need to contact the delivery company and then didn't contact further.So, having no reference number, staff name or will to live, I had to call the delivery company and after an hour on hold for through to someone that could help.Long story short: they've taken their terrible product back, a senior manager called me personally to apologise "honestly... I don't know what the hell happened here, I'm so sorry" and they gave me a full refund.I bought an office chair instead with the money. Don't waste your time.

I wanted to buy a folding bike for my wife as she likes to cycle when taking our dog for forest walks. Standard bike racks would not fit her car but this type of bike would fit in the back seats easily enough. I know it is not meant for off road use, but the forest tracks are reasonably smooth and this has a steel frame that seems robust.Assembly was simple for anybody who has ever maintained a bike. It folds easily into a bag, but the allen key is required to fold the handlebars. The bike seems to perform well and all of us (including our dog)are pleased with our purchase.

Pros:The Price.Sturdy build.Comfortable saddleCons:Arrived with gears not properly indexed. Within first week of use, chain got thrown between sprocket and frame on a night ride. Was able to limp bike home after several minutes spent trying to get the chain unstuck and the bike moving again. Not impressed!Rear brakes are controlled by right brake lever and front brakes by left brake lever. I have never heard of such a thing. A dangerous set up for an emergency stop.Seat height not high enough for me (I'm 5' 11" tall).Other comments.I've seen a few comments about the weight. I'm not so bothered with the weight to be honest, folding bikes are usually heavy.That said, I was never able to carry it off a platform comfortably without unfolding it (Not very courteous to other rail passengers).I should have noticed the mountain bike tires. Great for off-road cycling, but it's not for me.It's a comfortable bike, but you won't be going anywhere in a hurry.In a nutshell, I would have kept the bike, but the Con's listed above were insurmountable for me.

Had bought this thinking it could be used as an everyday commuter bike but infact it is just a tiny bit too heavy for that. Also, it does not fold completely as the handle would still stay open which makes the carrying up and down a bit difficult, especially if your handle bar goes straight into the saddle when folding the bike. I would have loved for the handle bar to be a bit longer as well.The bike came partially assembled so I had to take it to the bike shop for the break adjustments and so on which costed me another 50 quid.Overall, a decent bike which will take up little space if you are storing it in the flat and do not want to lock it outside and to be used to short-medium distances.
