Most of the user reviews on this bike have not been positive. The issues, for the most part, resulted from poor shipping. Other users did not find the bike challenging. And at least one user had mechanical issues right before the 90 day warranty ended. I did not have any of these issues. The bike was just right for me and there were no mechanical issues. The bike costs $229 and the warranty is for 90 days.
