perfect match for my son's schwinn s-30! factory brand originally installed...i was uncertain about it before ordering but, when i put on my glasses, i saw the "wheels" logo on the original and knew it would be ok.

Product works as described, obviously easy to install. Works as a replacement for the original rear hanger. Weight seem to be about the same.

Time will tell as I've only had the product on for about 30 miles

Contrary to what the packaging states, these fenders are too narrow to work well with 700x25 tires (at least with the Continental Grand Prixs that I have). I could get the front fender to work in the stand, but they would always rub from and shaking when I hit a bump on the road. Disappointing, as it seems like a well-thought out fender system that would be more secure than many other options out there.

This thing is so bad that I'm not sure if this is better than half a water bottle duct-taped instead. The mounting system is terrible; the main plug is plastic, and the metal nut will strip it before the fender has a chance to get secure. The clearance is horrible with 25's barely fitting (think 1-2mm...) There is no possible way this can be a quick "attach/detach" fender, which is the only reason I bought this in the first place. The reason is again the clearance: with only so little clearance and a thin bendy pos fender, you'll be scrambling to get the alignment just right... only for it to get out of line from a soft breath, due to the cheap plastic nuts holding the metal wires.

It took longer to install these flimsy fenders than doing my incomes taxes including itemized deductions. Wtf?

I was very indecisive about picking a fender for my road bike. It has threaded holes near the rear dropout that will work for a fender, but nothing on the front fork.

It was a toss-up between this, the SKS Raceblade, or the Planet Bike SpeedEZ Road. I run a 23mm front tire and a 25mm rear tire (sounds strange, but I have my reasons). The Raceblade is made for a max width of 23 which would rub on my rear tire, and the Raceblade XL is made for 25-32 which would look really wide and dopey on my front tire.

So it came down to these or the Planet Bike. I chose these partially because they look better than the planet bike, but mainly because they offer an additional attachment point (both front and rear) than the elastic bands.

It took a bit of time to get them adjusted, but they perform very well. I've had no issues of them moving and rubbing my tire. I've been able to stay dry when the road is wet.

A note about the specs....some say these fenders allow a max tire width of 23mm (including the Topeak website!!). But the packaging says it can handle up to 25mm. I can attest that it will work with 25mm as long as you get it adjusted right.

I had been looking for a bike rack that my wife could use easily, she is a little over 5 feet tall and roof racks are problematic for her so i started looking at hitch mounted racks, after much confussion and dissapointment in some of the racks i reviewed and the expense of getting a hitch receiver and a rack, I found this wonderful product by Seasucker. I watched the videos and read reviews so I thought I would give it a try. When the rack arrived I was shocked a t how easy it was to set up. We have a Subaru Outback and we placed it on the back window (hatchback). My wife and I went on a cross-country trip from Idaho to Kentucky and I had a century bike ride in South Carolina so we thought we would try it out. I was concerned about my bike falling off because of Interstate sppeds of 80 mph, and high winds through Iowa (50 mph gusts), however the rack held like a champion. We drove 2300 miles one way, traveled back and was 75 miles north of a tornado that touched down in Kansas on our return trip, once again the seasucker held firm even though we had winds in excess of 60 mph gusts. I am a huge advocate of seasucker products now, and I must say many people stopped me to ask about this strange bike rack and how it worked!!

I can't attach a roof rack or hitch rack to my car so I purchase this. I took a little risk because I have only seen the videos which seemed too good to be true. It is actually easier to install that what the videos show. I accidentally did not secure my fork to the rack once. When I entered the highway, my bike release. The single rear velcro mount actually held on to my bike. Very impressive! I am glad my bike didn't get thrown from the car and cause an accident.

I've had many bike racks over the years and this by far takes the cake. it's easy to use and install. Very sturdy and the vacuum cups hold excellent even when driving at 130mph.

Honest reviews on Sea Sucker Talon Bicycle Rack, Black, 1-Bike

I bought this for my 2003 Nissan 350Z because roof racks don't fit my car and I didn't want to install a hitch. It fits my Specialized Road bike and my front suspension Trek mountain bike. It's fairly easy to put my bike on my car, less than 5 minutes. You have to carry water in the car because the suckers must be damp. Works great! I'll probably buy the flight deck so I can store the spare wheel on top of the car when I go camping.

While the name leaves much to be desired, the product delivers. I had no interest in a truck mount car rack that rubs on my trunk lid. I have used the "Talon" for 2 seasons and I love it. It stores nicely in the trunk for easy accessibility. (they really should rebrand the product with a more apealing name)

I used to ride my bike 2.5mi. from public transportaion (BART) to work. I injured my right knee a few weeks back and was having to drive in to work which I despise for; traffic, bridge toll, parking fee... So I was looking for something that was; cheap (cause I only planned to use it for a few months), Portable (I need to bring it on a public train) and reliable (don't want to be stranded with a hurt knee). This is a great vehicle, it does what it says a far as going around 18mph (on flat ground) and run time is roughly 40 min. depending on the terrain you are riding on. I weigh 240lbs. and carry a backpack but it dosen't seem to mind. I do kind of help it going up two of the bigger hills I have to climb but it still makes it, I do not have to get off and push and the motor dosen't overheat or anything. Overall it was a great purchase, the price can't be beat for what it does, and I save about $10 a day vs. driving so I will have it paid for within two months!

The Razor was very easy to assemble (my wife put it together) and, after charging the battery, the kids were off and running. The scooter is strong and fast. A helmet is a must with this scooter. The only problem was with the power not really turning off. After the first couple of weeks, I went to move the scooter with the power off and it nearly jumped out of my hands. This could potentially be a serious situation.

The pictures don't show it, but the EcoSmart comes with a large luggage rack/basket that can be mounted on the rear fender.

I also have an eZip 500 which is a 24-volt scooter. The increase in power and speed from the extra 12 volts on the EcoSmart is very noticeable. Plus the larger 16" wheels and larger deck of the EcoSmart makes for a far more stable ride. The eZip feels a little wobbly while the EcoSmart feels solid at their top speeds. The EcoSmart's seat height is also adjustable for tall or short riders unlike the fixed eZip seat and the EcoSmart's seat has two shock absorbing springs for an overall smooth and comfortable ride. The EcoSmart's kickstand is also placed under the deck instead of on the rear tire axle, which seems much more stable.

The freewheel (which the eZip lacks) makes the heavier EcoSmart scooter much easier to push around too. The EcoSmart has a plastic two-piece chain guard that almost totally surrounds the freewheel, gears, and chain. The guard is easy to remove to clean and lube the drivetrain and should keep dripping chain oil contained.

The only things I like better on the eZip are the cage around the motor which helps to keep a hot motor from burning the rider and protects the motor in case the scooter falls over, the easily removable battery pack, the steel wheels (vs the spoked wheels on the EcoSmart), and the folding handlebars which make the eZip easier to place in the trunk of a car without busting out the toolset. I'm not sure if the larger EcoSmart could even fit in the back of an SUV without putting the rear seats down.

Honest reviews on Razor EcoSmart Metro Electric Scooter

I purchased the Razor EcoSmart recently as my daughter' Christmas Present. It was easy to assemble except it was missing several bolts, the stickers were pealing and it had rust on the frame. The quality was not there. This was my 3rd razor purchase. I am highly disappointed. I contacted razor and they told me I had to discuss my problems with the retailer, they told me to call razor. After calling razor a 3rd time and asked to speak with a supervisor I was connected to the supervisors mailbox and she never called me back. This is my last razor. They do not care about their customers or reputation. Buy at your own risk.

I got this a couple days ago (delivered) and basically it's... it's an okay scooter. I needed a scooter because I was tired of riding to work on my bike (15 minuteish ride on my bike going about 5-9 mph). But it goes nowhere NEAR what the box says it does, or the description. I'm roughly 200 pounds and it carries me like a dream though. It takes bumps really nicely, just be careful going over speed bumps or the bottom will hit the ground. I rode to work and back on roughly one charge (charged it for 30 minutes at work), pretty much rode full speed all the way back to my house and the battery's still good. I highly doubt it goes for 40 minutes on one charge but if you take it slow instead of full blasting it, it probably goes for awhile. I rated it 4 because it has a squeaky noise coming from the scooter, and I can't figure out where it's coming from and it makes me concerned.

Overall it's a nice scooter and a recommended buy, especially for an adult because it is a bigger scooter, not meant for kids. (ages 16+ is okay)

Edit 2 weeks later: The main concern for this scooter for me was the tires. I live in Arizona and everyone knows about goatheads. Basically they're thorns that come off of plants around here and are strewn across the ground and were the problem for me for many bike tires I've had. However I've not had a problem with them yet, but I haven't had one stuck in my tire either but I think it's safe to say the tires are fairly thick. Also when riding... the tires have a very long life. I've carried 10+lbs (up to 20) additional on me and I made it home from work (about 15 minute ride) and there's little to no air out of the back tire.

I'm changing my review to 5 stars because this is definitely a quality product. Just be careful on gravel for sharp rocks, and it does slip n' slide on gravel so be careful braking!
