Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The bike frame bent on my third ride. Not the wheels, not the handle bars, not the front fork, not the pedals, the FRAME. I don't weigh 200 pounds, which the bike is supposed to be rated to, and I was going down a hill, not racing across rocks or something. I would say mine was defective if not for the other reviewers with the same experience. Then I got to deal with GotHobby, the vendor. When I got the bike, one pedal had been torqued on so hard the threads on the bolt were stripped. My first ride got me about a mile before the pedal fell off, and I walked it home. GotHobby obviously knows these bikes are garbage, they strung me along by delaying responses to messages, they refused to send me a new bolt or meaningfully respond to emails until just before the 30 day window of returns allowed by amazon was up. I had to go to 3 different bike shops in my town to find a bolt that fit the pedal (not the vendors fault, but you may have the same experience if you need parts locally). Finally I got the pedal arm attached to the bike, and my second ride was awesome, the bike did what it was supposed to do, unfolded easily. My third time on the bike it bent when I went down a hill. GotHobby refused to let me ship them this thing back on their account when I offered to pay for it. They told me their shipping rate was something like $40, but my return shipping price is a minimum of $90. Amazon was no help since I was now beyond the 30 day window for a return (something that wouldn't have happened had the bike been shipped in working order by GotHobby, what a coincidence) This vendor and product should not be allowed on amazon. I've made hundreds of purchases, and none has ever gone nearly as horribly as this one. Stay away from this bike.
