The comments reveal that the bike is a slow bike. How slow is it in compare to 26 inch bikes?

First of all, this is not a slow bike. I bet if it is ridden by Lance Armstrong, he will beat many people who ride 26 inch wheel bike. Because the wheel size is smaller, it may feel like it is slower when you pedal one cycle verse the 26 inch bike. But we do not know the exact number in comparison.

hi, this little bike is fast, i raised the bars with 2 inch spacers so my knees won't hit and i'm 150 lbs..this bike pulls me about 30 mph on the street, my back yard isn't big enough for it to wind to that speed, but about 20 for straight streches. they are neat little bikes but, they have very high compresion and are hard to pull thru, once running my gran kids and i just keep it running until we're done with it. it'sforce air cooled so it's ok also, it is kind of loud but alot of fun. good luck, jack.

Cute bike. It is 26" wheels. However I do not recommend purchasing this through Amazon. I am fairly competent at assembling products and this is just a mess. I have owned the bike for 3 years. Gears are terrible and slip. Bike is heavy. Rusts very easily. Even with garage storage.

If you pedal a slow to medium pace then the bike is sturdy. I tried to pedal at a high speed to burn calories faster and the bike srarted to slide, and it almost tipped over. I have a tile floor. I would prefer a heavier bike. Also the handle bars are so far away from the seat its hard to hold on while u pedal. Im 5'5 maybe if you're taller than me it will be easier.

I think that depends on what the rider wants. A smaller wheel gives you better acceleration and control. If you are tall you might want to go with the 26 in for more comfort.. again, it depends what you will be doing with your bike.. mine is a 24 in.. I am short it works for me and gives me all the comfort I want in a bike.. after all you are not mountain climbing with a tricycle..

It doesn't make much noise which is good. However I don't recommend this bike due to the little to no resistance and poor quality.

Its a 20" bike meaning the tires are 20" diameter. My very average height 6 year fits this bike perfectly. After a lot of research I chose this bike because the frame shape allowed for the lowest seat height I could find in a quality bike. I hope this helps. If i was at jome i would physically measure it for you.

Yes. I just did it yesterday. Compared to my 26" MTB it cannot get the speed as gear 7 sets the limit. But you mention leasure and that is fine. My only complaint after the 20 miles is the saddle. I like hard saddles but that one is quite uncomfortable. I like the selle Italia styles and might just replace it.

I am very happy with the bike, except that I would have preferred handbrakes. However I am getting used to the footbrakes. The bike is heavy. It is probably not possible to make a lightweight bike 'step through'. I recommend it and I would buy it again

Even though I am male and 6 foot 2, I have a few 26inch bicycles and all you have to do is adjust the seat post up. You can always get different handlebars for comfort, but this bike is fine as it is. Just to give you a different reference, my wife and also her daughter who are both at the lower end of the 5 foot range have used this bike. I had to lower the seat all the way down where the seat springs straddle the bike rack and it works for them just fine.

It's a "24 inch". Probably good for people up to about 5'6". Typical adult bikes are "26 inch".

Found a fairly decent writeup on the difference @ http://www.livestrong.com/article/270832-comparison-of-schwinn-230-240-bikes/

Yes - It is a 26" wheel - There is no pedal assist on this bike it is controlled by a manual throttle

Actually - that was from memory - if you look up the bikes specs as is listed for sale - assuming its the same one I have purchased - it is true to its claim - I said 29 but it may have been 21 -as listed - its a big frame as I wanted because i AM 6'3 AND NEEDED THE LARGER SIZE - ITS A NICE BIKE AND FOR THE PRICE i PAID ITS A GREAT DEAL -ESPECIALLY AS COMPARED TO OTHERS - THE ONE THING YOU WILL MOST LIKELY NEED TO DO IS GET A SOFTER SEAT - OTHER THAN THAT ITS A GOOD DEAL - i THINK i PAID LIKE 255.OO

I am sorry. I can not help you. As soon as the bike arrived, I returned it because it was the wrong bike.

It took 1.25 hrs. There were a lot of pieces and the instructions could have been better but it is a good dual purpose bike.

Slow. Idk an actual speed. I bought an axial 27t motor for about $13 and it nearly. Doubled the speed. Still climbs fine
