ECOSMO 26 Inch Folding Mountain Bike -21 speed SHIMANO gear system, Dual Suspension,Front Disc Brake, Quick Release Mechanism, Hi-Ten Steel Frame, All Terrain Folding Bicycle (26SF02BL)

It arrived as promised. It is folding bike(realy easy to do) so can be folded and kept in a small shed, garage. If you live in a bed sit or flat it won't take up much room. The local bus company say I can take it on their buses folded up. If you have a long walk from parking your car to your place of work you can use it for that to save time. It is well made and comes in a satin black finish. The welds are good. All I had to do is to attach the front wheel, handle bars and seat. I had to tighten the clamps a bit more than usual because the "pipe work" was slightly smaller diameter. The seat isn't too bad and should last an hour or more before "rear end fatigue" sets in. The tyres hold the air well and the tread is suitable for soft ground like bike trails. I didn't have to true the wheels up with a spoke spanner or adjust the bearings. The manual is ok and the tools (allen and plate spanner ) supplied will do the job. The suspension is a bit too soft and the frame is a bit wibberly wobberly when compared to a non folding frame. It seems to be a tad slower(speed wise) than a none folding framed bike. I'm five feet eleven medium build and it can be adjusted to fit me well. The brakes work well, (the front is cable operated disc) rear is V type The tranmission is slick and easy to use (all shimano) The only real irritation is that the rear V brake cable end and front derailleur cable ends stuck out and caught my leg as I peddled (fixed with some tape untill they can be sortened.) It is well worth the money, even though I am still running or peddling it in, I consider it to be a very good buy.

Had this bike for 18 months and it's been doing it's job but if you're considering getting this one, just be mindful: - Yes it is a folding bike but it is bigger and heavier than other folding bikes so you will need physical strength to carry it. - It is sturdy, I am over 16 stone yet I've done shopping trips with a fully laden backpack fine. The seat is stiff so you may want to replace that if you need to. - You may need to do adjustments on it, aligning wheels/brakes, calibrating gears. Wheels aren't Quick Release and I recommend having a socket kit to hand if you are messing with wheels as the nuts can be tight and a spanner can damage the metal. Learned this the hard way when I had a flat on the rear wheel.

I've had the bike for 3 weeks now First of all, the one good thing : delivery went well. All of the rest is my experience with this product, I am currently asking for a refund. I should mention that I used the bike daily to go to and from work, it took me about 45 minute per day and was only on the road in the city. Nothing that would normally put any stress on a bike. The handlebar started getting loose from the first day (the horizontal bar, with the grip move on its axis and get out of place) I first thought it was only needing some tightening but it kept doing it, no matter how much I was tightening the bolt. I removed the bolt and noticed the thread was ruined, so I assumed that was the issue and changed it, the new one did the same as soon as installed. A few days later the back mudguard broke, leaving me with no protection from the rain (my backpack took it all, as well as my back) After about a week and a half, the right pedal started to move weirdly I looked a bit closer at it only to see that the ball bearing was broken, the pedal was off axis which made it make sound and sometimes was not very stable. Keep in mind I needed it to go to work, so I kept using the bike. then I fell off the bike twice, and bruised my thigh quite badly, so I contacted the seller and asked for a refund. The seller offered to send me a new handlebar, a new pedal, and a new mudguard. Asked me to wait to receive it as it would solve my issues and I wouldn't need the refund afterward. it took more than a week during which I had to take the public transport to go to work (it cost £7 a day for me, plus it takes way longer) I received the parts today, the pedal is not the same as the original but it will probably solve the issue. The handlebar on the other hand is not a handlebar, it's only the quick release, which doesn't solve the problem at all. I asked for a refund again, I'll update my review after I get some other news

When the bike arrived it was pretty much nearly all assembled apart from a couple of bits to put together which was good. The bike is a bit heavy but ok to carry onto trains and up the odd flight of stairs. Have enjoyed riding it to work. Had a issue with one of the pedals when I first rode out on it but the seller sent another one out a.s.a.p and gave me an £8 refund for my inconvenience. Overall it's a good bike 👍👍👍 Update: bike still good, but would definitely warn anyone purchasing it to replace the folding pedals with standard pedals as the ones that come on it are quite weak. I’ve had two pedals snap on me know and the last one that snapped has led to me having a fractured arm and two fractured ribs as it snapped whilst going at quite a quick pace. Which caused me to be thrown from the bike.

Bought this as I needed to exercise more, but needed something which would fit in the car boot. Bike is all that I needed it to be. Simple assembly, little adjustment necessary. Gears change well. Quality is good - perhaps frame welds could be neater, though this is cosmetic evaluation only; whole construction appears to be strong, though probably better suited to road and light off-road use rather than mountain biking. Weight is not unreasonable. Folds well, and folding pedals help to keep folded size down. Will fit easily in the back of a Kia Picanto with the rear seat-back folded. Good value folding bike.

ho avuto la bici ma non registrata consegna...

Cercavo una bici mtb pieghevole da poter mettere nel baule dell'auto senza ribaltare sedili o dover per forza montare ganci di traino o portabici. Devo dire che è stata la scelta giusta perchè è il massimo della comodità. Bici buona, vale il prezzo pagato, solida ben rifinita. Ci ho già fatto diverse uscite. Vi arriverà a casa nel suo scatolone, ottimamente imballata, dovrete montare ruota anteriore, sellino, manubrio, pedali reclinabili e gli accessori in dotazione. Prodotta in Inghilterra, 18Kg di peso, freno a disco anteriore (consiglio di guardarsi un tutorial perchè sarà l'unica cosa da regolare insieme al filo del freno posteriore), monta ottimi pneumatici KENDA da 26”, cambio shimano sul quale non ho dovuto fare nessuna regolazione se non una lubrificata di routine. Il manubrio ha una comoda chiavetta incorporata che ne facilità la regolazione e l'estrazione quando la ripiegate. Il gancio centrale che permette di piegarla è davvero ottimo, oltre allo sgancio rapido ha una clip a scatto di sicurezza che la fissa automaticamente quando è aperta; un giorno ho fatto 15 km di sterrato senza accorgermi di averla lasciata aperta. Unico neo a mio avviso non adatta per il cross spinto o acrobatico.

Insomma, io ho acquistato questa bicicletta per problemi di spazio, e quindi era necessario prenderne una pieghevole che però potesse garantirmi almeno un minimo di standard per allenarmi, purtroppo però bisogna ammettere che più di un certo tanto questa bicicletta non può fare, ho appena cambiato il cambio della corona grande come anche il perno centrale che tiene i pedali e le corone, non solo, da subito ho dovuto sostituire il freno posteriore, il cavetto si è subito rotto già al terzo utilizzo. Questo modello di bicicletta può essere utilizzato per passeggiare senza troppe pretese, no assolutamente per utilizzo sportivo, a meno che non sia stato solo un caso sfortunato, la mia bici da subito tendeva a scricchiolare. Peccato.

Prodotto buono, ma un po' complicato da montare

Do'solo 3 stelle in quanto quando l'ho assemblata ho trovato cerchio anteriore e disco del freno molto storti. Lo scatolone non presentava vistose ammaccature e
