Riders beware - I had a bad experience with this seller. The bike was shipped with assembly required - which I understood. However, the bike arrived with a bent frame, broken brake cables, and two dented fenders. Several weeks of inquiries have failed to produce either return service or a refund.
I was able to fix the bent frame and live with the dented fenders, but I will have to replace the broken brake cable to ride this bike if I cannot get it returned.
Also - the handlebars do not fold down. Therefore, the bike does not fold as small as other similarly priced items available on this site.
I would recommend the silver bike with the Shimano accessories for $129 listed when you search "folding bikes". A friend purchased one recently and it rides nearly as well as a Dahon.

Great value for your money. They sent the wrong book in the box, but for me the set-up was simple and straight-forward. I took it for a spin on hilly and flat terrain and had no problems. The gears shift smoothly and it's rides well. I like the extra long fenders, which will keep me clean when riding in rain or snow. I wish it had a device that can hold it together when it's folded, since it has the tendency to open up, but I can also get a bungee cord to keep it together. All in all, it's a nice looking bike that functions well.

First off all, I think all of the cries about this bike "coming with the wrong instrusctions" and "being hard to assemble" is UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. The bike was incredably easy to assemble, and I never even looked at the instructions. I hope no one else is scared away from this product (like I almost was) because of ridiculous complaints about assembling the bike- I did it in 20 minutes with no bike assembly experience. With that said, I love this bike and the price. The only reason it gets a 4 out of 5 and not a perfect score is because it would have been nice if the handlebar was easier to remove for storage. I just keep the tool that came with it in a pouch strapped to the bike at all times, and use it to remove it when i need to. On my first ride in nyc, it begain to rain very hard. I was able to quickly fold up the bike and hop on a train home. On my way home, I strapped my belt to the bike, and used it as a strap to hold the bike on my shoulders as I shopped in Duane Reade for a few things. I am only 5'8'' and 150 lbs and was able to relatively easily carry to bike on my shoulders as I shopped. I got 3 compliments for my bike on my first ride in the city alone. For this price, there isn't a better value for a bike like this around.
