KOOTU Bike Pedals with Reflective Strips, Universal 9/16 Inch Mountain Bike Pedals, Non-Slip Aluminum Alloy Bicycle Pedals for Road BMX MTB Bike

The factory pedals that came with my E-bike broke and almost caused me to crash, when the aluminum folding tab broke under stress. The folding mechanism on these is MUCH more sturdy, much better quality than the pedals that came with my eBike. But I am knocking them down one star because the tiny pegs on the pedals, that are designed to help your foot grip the pedal, are so sharp along the edges that they will cut you. I have drawn blood at least three times when hitting my shin on them. I will need to get out my hand grinder and smooth out the edges, so they will stop drawing blood. UPDATE ONE YEAR LATER: I upgraded my rating from four stars to five stars, becasue I discovered the sharp cleats are threaded into place, and can be easily removed just by turning them out with a pliers. So if you need the sharp grip, you can leave them in, if you are an amateur biker and don't want to bleed, you can take them out. Also, these have held up very well with use, including a few wrecks. UPDATE TWO YEARS LATER: Do not remove the cleats. They hold an internal cap in place, that holds a spring in place, that keeps the pedals locked until you stow them. After riding a while without the cleats, the plug pops out, the spring gets lost, and you don't realize what happend until quite a while later when the pedal will not stay deployed. So, if you don't want sharp cleats, just take a dremel tool to round them out.

Great pedals. I put them on my girlfriends bike and now she peddles her self all over town.

I purchased this set of pedals to replace the stock pedals on a folding bike called a Brompton. The standard folding pedal isn’t great. These aren’t THE highest quality pedals, but they are very good and a good value for what you get. Significantly better than the standard folding pedal on the Brompton. They install like any other bike pedal with a little grease on the threads. What I really like about these is that they lock in the open and closed positions. The standard Brompton folding pedal doesn’t lock in the closed position and it can unfold and scratch the bike. If you don’t have a folding bike, I would consider using these if transporting a bike in the trunk of an SUV. Folding a pedal down would make it easier. Maybe there are other use cases, but for a folding bike, I think these are a no brainer.

These far exceeded my expectations. As replacements for some broken plastic folding pedals on my cheap folding bike I wasn’t expecting much and yet they are incredibly nice pedals. Some reviewers mentioned that the bearings are stiff. That’s not a lie at all. I suspect that they’ll loosen up after use, but I’m not really looking for high performance on this bike. They feel solid and well-made and the folding mechanism is excellent. Yesterday, I climbed a steep hill on them and they didn’t flex or feel insubstantial at all. Would I put them on my high end commuter or road bike? Probably not. Would it be catastrophic if you did? Nah. They’d be fine, but I’d personally pay an extra $20 to upgrade to Mikishima folding pedals. Worth noting - as it seems at least one reviewer wasn’t aware - pedals are threaded for each side of the drive train. Each pedal is marked “right” and “left” and they are each threaded in different directions (righty tighty, lefty Lucy does not apply here). To install, line up each pedal on the correct side and screw the pedal onto the crank by rotating toward the front wheel ((and obviously the reverse of that if you’re taking them off). Great pedals - they revived my old folding bike and I couldn’t be happier.

I am impressed with the quality of these pedals. Solidly built. My purpose for purchasing was to shorten the pedal while transporting on the bike rack. Carrying three bikes the previous pedals would beat up the other bikes. Now, folded, plenty of clearance. When pedaling, these pedals work perfectly with no foot slip. Not sorry I quit using my SPF cleats.

I love the petals.I would give it a five, but shipment was all messed up and I had to order another pair.So now i'm stuck with two

Nice pedals. Installed easily, seems durable, and feel like they’ll grip my shoes when wet. Time and use is the ultimate judge, but for now, I’m happy with my purchase.

Love these Kootu folding pedals. Have them on four bikes. Makes storing and stacking them tight and easy.

De trappers zien er gelikt uit, maar al vrij snel viel bij 1 trapper een schroefje eruit waardoor de veer eruit vloog en ik die trapper noodgedwongen moest vervangen. Kortom mooi maar niet heel degelijk.

Sturdy aluminum. Light. Nice design. It might be a few mm wider. Very good for such price.

Mes pédales wellgo de la même gamme de prime se sont cassées en roulant. J'ai donc opté pour celles ci en aluminium et non plastique. Elles semblent robustes et en plus elles modifient le look de mon vélo, au moins personnes n'a les mêmes que moi en rouge! Elles accrochent bien au pied et se rétractent facilement. A voir dans le temps car je les plient chaque jour, pour le moment j'en suis très satisfaite et elles sont canons.

Ottimi e robusti

Robustos y se agarran mucho al zapato. Fáciles de instalar y a día de hoy se ven muy resistentes.
