Cyco Cycle 20-Inch Cycle Review

Customer Ratings:

This is the second Cyco Cycle I've purchased for my kids and I am so happy with them. I bought the first one for my 12 year old son in May when he first saw it on TV and had to have one. At first I thought they looked kind of silly and maybe dangerous but finally gave in after he insisted on one for his birthday.

He was so excited when it arrived 2 days later and with the help of his father, they put it together in about 10 min. The Cyco Cycle is soooo much easier to ride than I thought. He immediately started riding it around and could steer without using any hands, I was so impressed! The Cyco Cycle can tip over if you turn too quickly but without any handlebars in the way it is very easy to just step off before falling. Right away everyone wanted to try it out. Both my husband and I even found it easy to ride as our whole family had a blast taking turns. Our 9 year old younger son absolutely loved it also and it instantly became a fight between the two brothers over who could ride it.

So now after a couple of months waiting, we finally bought our second Cyco Cycle for the younger ones birthday and he couldn't be more proud and excited. That first one really took a beating as they rode it and fought over it every day! With the exception of having to re-adjust the seat occassionally when it became crooked, the Cyco Cycle is very durable and easy to maintain. They are built really heavy duty and I can tell they are going to last for years. There are now 7 Cyco Cycles in our neighborhood and we were the first ones to own one. It makes us the "cool family"!

I has been amazing to watch our boys and all of their friends have so much fun as they challenge each other to ride the Cyco Cycle in all sorts of ways. This really is the coolest, most innovative new contraption, (what ever it is), to come out in years. This has been the best purchase we've made for our boys and I would gladly give it 6 stars if I could!!!

Got this for my son (13 y/o) 3 or 4 months ago. Seems like he and his friends are out riding it every time someone comes over. They've tried their best to thrash the thing but it's still holding up strong. It's basically a 3-wheel unicycle made out of BMX bike components. The seat looks pretty scratched up but the frame wheels pedals are all straight and in good condition. Don't know about the paint cause he covered it with stickers. Would recommend for anyone with rowdy kids who need to work off some excess energy! Anyways seems a well made product for $99 bucks.

My grandson loved this toy; it prepares him to be able to ride a unicycle and he is always looking for the next challenge.

The Cyco Cycle is incredibly fun. It gives you a sense of freedom that is hard to describe. It is well built but be sure to tighten all of the bolts that are already in place once you take it out of the packaging. They are all very loose. Otherwise it was easy to put together and is so heavy duty that I think it's going to last for years.

I'm going to buy another one so I can keep up with my kids!

The name says it all here. These things really do make it easy to tighten up your wheels while also hiding the scars of your stock wheel nuts on the frame. I love these things, I bought more immediately after getting these.

This is a great, quality product that will definitely stand up to a ton of use/abuse.

I returned them because I needed a different size.

I got this ccx delivered in may and went on my first CX ride recently.

It's a tight quality build and handles the light gravel, dirt

and other obstacles well with the little knobby tire treads.

The lightweight alum frame makes all the difference!!

and the top rail design is unique and looks good.

I'm very happy with the SORA shift/brake/gearing assembly.

I wasn't sure that I would like this type of system, but

it has fast action and is flawless.

I added a steerer extender on top to raise the bars

and also added a shorter stem so as not-to-be hunched

over so much. (this worked out great).

On road this ccx rides smooth and fast.

Bottom line is that this bike has the quality rims,frame,gearing and

design to compete with more expensive makers....but I saved roughly

$400 buckies by getting this one and I'm happy with it.

Ps...I rate 4 stars because I would have preferred black

and don't know why they don't offer it??

Pss...get a hex key set...you'll need it for assembly.

I purchased this bike to ride the dirt and gravel roads in southern New Hampshire. I'm an experienced road cyclist and long time racer but I'm amazed how much you get for $700 in this bike. I've paid more than that (much more!)for a single race wheel. Nice hydro-formed aluminum frame, sturdy carbon fork, and decent components that just work. So far, I've been bashing around on our dirt and gravel back roads without incident. As another reviewer pointed out, the stem is designed for racing. I installed an inexpensive stem riser and shorter stem -a small expense considering the low cost of the bike. You will also need some skill and experience putting the bike together. Lacking those skills, you may have to go to a local bike shop for help -something they will no be very happy about.

PS: I saw this bike first on sale at Performance bike -but the Amazon price was $200 less. Performance offered to price match; but refused to match Amazon Primes free 2 day shipping. Duh!

I live in Charleston, SC which means I am just a few miles from Frances Marion National Forest. There are miles and miles of gravel roads to burn it up. And boy howdy does this bike deliver. The 700x32c tires are a champ on the gravel roads. I am currently training for a 65 miles cross race and I have every intention of bringing this puppy to show. The frame is very light for the price. When I put mine on the scale it clocked in at 21 pounds. Compare this to my DB Recoil that is sitting on a hefty 34 pounds. While this model does not have the 105 gearing it does shift just as smooth as butter. I find the break/shifters where a little confusing at first but after the first 50 miles it was second nature. And the bike is sturdy as well. While being a very sexy in her polished red finish I have ridden her hard and laid her down four times. She takes the beating and keeps right on going. It also came with extra spokes and clear instructions on how to put it together a big plus as I am not master bike mechanic. The additional set of breaks on the handlebars as a little odd at first as I was not used to it, but now I find myself loving it. Especially when doing group rides it means that I can be on the breaks very fast.

If there is a down side to the bike its got to be the breaks. Man was a royal pain in the ass to setup. I got them working but ended up taking it to my local bike shop to get them dialed in. They have plenty of stopping power but man they were annoying to get setup and quiet. And after a few rides I had to tune them again. I get the idea of the breaks is that you don't want to dirt and/or mud to cake up on them but if you can afford it Cross bikes with Disc breaks are a huge plus but they are also a load more expensive. :(

The race is September 28th and I will let you know how the bike does when I push it hard on race day.

======Update====

I have put probably 300 miles on the bike so far and had my first part wear out. Its my fault but still worth noting. The bike uses BB30 bearings in the crank this is has pluses and minuses. The good thing is its a high quality bearing that is cheap and easy to change. The down side is that they are susceptible to trash getting in them because of the drop in design. On a ride where the trail got REALLY sandy I must have gotten sand in the bearing and it started protesting. Now it never quit and left me on the side of the trail, but it is something to think about. The cost of the new bearing was 20 buck and like I said its a drop in kind of thing.

So far so good with my first trial of these tubes. I've only gone a couple hundred miles on them, but I can say with certainty that the smooth valve stem is an absolute must. I tried them because of that after 3 flats in a row on Bontrager super lights all failing at the valve stem area. I recommend based on performance so far. No flat and they hold air well (I run at 110 to 120 psi).

Hi buyers,

This item was defective upon receipt. Air leaked because valves did not close to keep air in on two sets. The valve on one of the sets got fixed after playing with it for a while. I was able to use the set with the fixed valve once for a ride. During that ride I got a flat (bad luck?). Seller promised to send a replacement and I waited for 3 months, still nothing. I also missed the amazon a-to-z guarantee deadline because I was not aware of it until recently. Do not recommend this seller and this product for above reasons.

Thanks and have fun shopping,

Buy Huffy Bicycles 26311 Women's Rival 21-Speed Atb Mountain Bicycle

Customer Ratings:

I purchased 2 of these bikes for my wife and I based on the price. I found "you get what you pay for". The first two arrived in good condition, after assembly my wife's bike wouldn't change gears and the twist grips became stripped and fell apart. The front brakes were difficult to get into and stay in adjustment. We returned it for replacement. In the meantime (about 2 days) my shifters went out of adjustment and wouldn't change gears, the twist gear changer for the front derailleur stopped working. I returned the second bike. By now my wife's second bike arrived, the box looked like it had been dropped from a tall building then dragged behind the delivery truck. The box was literally held together with shipping tape, and it was torn open to expose that the bikes neck was bent(I can't imagine the force needed to cause this steel to bend). If I had gotten to the door before UPS rang my bell and ran away I never would have accepted this package. I returned this bike also. Finally we decided to give up and just ask for a refund. Amazon couldn't have been more helpful, we received a refund in a very short time. Thanks Amazon for making a difficult and frustrating situation pleasant in the end. If you want a cheap bike and you have the skill and the time to do all your own adjustments daily then this is the bike for you, otherwise defiantly upgrade.This is not a good bike at a low price but a cheap bike at a cheap price. I hope the other buyers who gave this bike a good rating have better luck than I did.

This bike is so poorly made. The right pedal does not lock in place and falls off while you're riding, I crashed twice. Nothing tightens properly so the seat, handlebars are all loose. An unbelievably cheap piece of junk, do not buy this bike!

Very good frame, tires and wheels, ok handlebar and seat. EVERYTHING ELSE I junked!!!! Both derailleurs, brakes, shifters, crankset and brake levers not fit for a kid if safety is of any concern; even the top headset had to be redone. BUT JUST THE TIRES AND WHEELS where worth what I paid for this bike so no complaint. I replaced all the junk with the cheapest Shimano I could find and ended with one heck of a bike.

The purchase itself was smooth. The bike arrived on time, however the box was completely destroyed. It seems like the bike was dropped or as if it came out of the box while in transit. It gets better, it was missing the front tire. I am now waiting in my second bike to arrive. Let's see how that one goes...

I recently bought two of these bikes when they were only 49.00 on Amazon for my girls for Christmas! What a steal! My husband put both of the bikes together in about 20 minutes each with no problems. He rode them both to test them out and there was not a thing wrong with these bikes. No parts were missing and parts were not loose in the box. They were almost completely put together when they arrived in the box. Thank you Amazon for continueing to offer such great prices on quality products.

Discount Nirve Forty-Nine Men's 3-Speed Cruiser Bike

Customer Ratings:

Love the bike! It is good quality, Nirve had great customer service, it was easy to assemble (just wheels and handle bars), and it is a better value than the Electra bikes.

This bike is great! It was easy to put together, comfortable to ride, and looks awesome! I was worried that 3 speeds wasn't going to be enough but it is. First gear is easy to peddle but doesn't go very fast. Second gear is okay. And third gear will get up to a decent speed.

I was worried I might be too heavy for this bike at 300lbs, but it handles my weight fine. It is a BIG bike. I only wish I had bought it when it was on sale!

As soon as I saw the Nirve Forty-Niner I wanted it. It's like a bike version of a Les Paul Studio Classic guitar: works great built to last looks fabulous. I got the 3 speed black 49er and she got the pink Lahina 7 speed. We've only had them a week as of this writing and mine has about 30 miles on it. Not long enough to speak to durability but so far we are loving these bikes. The 7 speed works well though for me anything beyond 3 for a cruiser is overkill.

Buy from a quality bike shop if you can, to avoid the assembly issues others have written about and for the tuneup services and accessories like a quality lock.

More background:

My wife and I wanted cruisers to ride to LA Fitness and around town mostly flat suburban riding. We had a budget of about $400 per bike and wanted whatever we chose to be fun, sturdy, and made in the USA if possible. We found out about Nirve after searching the Internet for a while and the retro look of their bikes hooked us immediately.

Nirve is headquartered about 20 miles from us which came as a surprise since we never heard of them. We weren't up for assembling anything, so we decided not to order online. Besides, we wanted to see and test the different models before buying. As far as we can tell this bike is designed in the USA (Huntington Beach), but made in China.

Fun to ride and very smooth. I try to ride it at least twice a week. Assembly was not difficult.
