Schwinn Hinge Folding Bike Review
We had Schwinn Hinge Folding Bike for over a year and ride daily, mostly in our subdivision, and have not had to do anything but fill air in the tires and adjust the brakes since first arrival. It was super easy to put together, and I am not good at putting things together.
The smaller wheels make this bike smaller when folded which is handy especially for folding a putting into the car. Most people seem to like the appearance of this bike. The bike rack is sturdy and has proved quite useful caring small boxes home for the community mail boxes. The plastic fenders have worked well and do not seem to break easily. The folding is accomplished easily enough but there are opportunities to pinch oneself, especially with the pedal. The bag does make it easier to handle but is not worth bothering with when putting it in the back of the SUV.
The bike runs very smoothly and I enjoy going out on it. Being a folder, you can easily store it indoors or carry it in the trunk of a car, which makes it more versatile than a full size bike. I use mine mainly for exercise.I know there is a lot of folding bike enthusiasts who look down on the “cheap folding bikes” like this one, which I bought one year ago. But my mother-in-law made a good point: when I told her there were probably better quality folders on the market if you could afford them, she said, “Sure and Cadillac’s are better quality cars than VW Bugs, but not everyone can afford them – and they both get you to the grocery store!”
So if you’re on a limited budget and just need a nice bike to ride around the neighborhood and occasionally toss in the trunk to have with you for the beach or the park, this is just fine. For about $160 that’s not too bad. I am happy I purchased it. In my opinion, the convenience of being able to take the bike with me and ride it whenever. I would recommend Schwinn Hinge Folding Bike to any one!
