Buyer Feedback: Xspec 20" 7 Speed Folding Compact City Commuter Bike (NOT an Electric Bike)

https://amzn.to/3IPsGbd - Xspec 20" 7 Speed Folding Compact City Commuter Bike (NOT an Electric Bike)

Awesome bike took it in tha city and it was smooth sailing I also use it to commute to work and no problems!
Love this bike and worth the extra effort it took to figure out how to do the minimal assembly properly. Gears and Breaks are all preset except for the rear breaks which were set high up on the tire instead of on the rim on both bikes I bought.
I neglected to adjust the second one and blew out a tire when I used the break real hard.
I was searching for a cheap folding bike and according to the reviews I decided for this one.Excatly what everybody said, for $160 it is not bad! You can’t compare with a Dahon or Brompton.
But it has a 7 speed Shimano gear, that alone is worth it. It is light!
Riding is good!I bought it so I can throw it in the back of the trunk and if I come across a cool park, I want to bicycle for a quick excercise.This bike is good for quick errands too.For the average bicyclist.... this is good for the price!
I only switched for a better seat.Assembly from unboxing and to put everything together was about 1 hour.Make sure you have the right tools, a wrench, screwdriver and air pump!I had to loosen the breaks a little bit only.
Did not have to adjust the gears.YouTube videos will show you how to do it!Easy!
I bought a pair of these.....1 black and 1 yellow for my wife and myself. Im exceptionally happy with them. We owned a bike shop for 10 years and have attended several bike mechanic schools so I believe Im qualified to express an opinion.
The bikes are well built. The components are good quality. Folding and unfolding is SIMPLE. No tools required. There is virtually NO assembly out of the box BUT there are ADJUSTMENTS....mostly the brakes, The bikes are shipped with the brakes locked.
Adjusting the brakes isnt rocket surgery. Just do a YouTube search on adjusting Shimano V brakes and youll find everything you need to know. A bike brake cable tool is helpful but by no means necessary.
The derailleurs did not need adjustment but the chains were on the wrong cogs.
Just rock the bike over on the kickstand and turn the pedals and the chain should drop onto the correct set of cogs.Most of the negative comments Ive read about these bikes are from people who either didnt understand how derailleurs work OR who didnt expect to have to do "new bike" adjustments.
Every bike you buy from an independent bike shop is assembled after it arrives at the shop and carefully adjusted before you are allowed to take it home.
These bikes are no different.Steering takes a minute or two to get used to because of the small wheels and a short wheel base. The 7 speeds are adequate for the type of riding the bikes are designed for.
The paint job is good. The brakes WORK!! !You just cant ask for much more for the price.
I did not have any experience assembling bikes, but putting this together took me about 30 mins. The brakes need to be adjusted and there was a little wobble on the front tire.
