ECOSMO 26 Inch Folding Mountain Bike -21 speed SHIMANO gear system, Dual Suspension,Front Disc Brake, Quick Release Mechanism, Hi-Ten Steel Frame, All Terrain Folding Bicycle (26SF02BL)

It arrived as promised. It is folding bike(realy easy to do) so can be folded and kept in a small shed, garage. If you live in a bed sit or flat it won't take up much room. The local bus company say I can take it on their buses folded up. If you have a long walk from parking your car to your place of work you can use it for that to save time. It is well made and comes in a satin black finish. The welds are good. All I had to do is to attach the front wheel, handle bars and seat. I had to tighten the clamps a bit more than usual because the "pipe work" was slightly smaller diameter. The seat isn't too bad and should last an hour or more before "rear end fatigue" sets in. The tyres hold the air well and the tread is suitable for soft ground like bike trails. I didn't have to true the wheels up with a spoke spanner or adjust the bearings. The manual is ok and the tools (allen and plate spanner ) supplied will do the job. The suspension is a bit too soft and the frame is a bit wibberly wobberly when compared to a non folding frame. It seems to be a tad slower(speed wise) than a none folding framed bike. I'm five feet eleven medium build and it can be adjusted to fit me well. The brakes work well, (the front is cable operated disc) rear is V type The tranmission is slick and easy to use (all shimano) The only real irritation is that the rear V brake cable end and front derailleur cable ends stuck out and caught my leg as I peddled (fixed with some tape untill they can be sortened.) It is well worth the money, even though I am still running or peddling it in, I consider it to be a very good buy.

Had this bike for 18 months and it's been doing it's job but if you're considering getting this one, just be mindful: - Yes it is a folding bike but it is bigger and heavier than other folding bikes so you will need physical strength to carry it. - It is sturdy, I am over 16 stone yet I've done shopping trips with a fully laden backpack fine. The seat is stiff so you may want to replace that if you need to. - You may need to do adjustments on it, aligning wheels/brakes, calibrating gears. Wheels aren't Quick Release and I recommend having a socket kit to hand if you are messing with wheels as the nuts can be tight and a spanner can damage the metal. Learned this the hard way when I had a flat on the rear wheel.

I've had the bike for 3 weeks now First of all, the one good thing : delivery went well. All of the rest is my experience with this product, I am currently asking for a refund. I should mention that I used the bike daily to go to and from work, it took me about 45 minute per day and was only on the road in the city. Nothing that would normally put any stress on a bike. The handlebar started getting loose from the first day (the horizontal bar, with the grip move on its axis and get out of place) I first thought it was only needing some tightening but it kept doing it, no matter how much I was tightening the bolt. I removed the bolt and noticed the thread was ruined, so I assumed that was the issue and changed it, the new one did the same as soon as installed. A few days later the back mudguard broke, leaving me with no protection from the rain (my backpack took it all, as well as my back) After about a week and a half, the right pedal started to move weirdly I looked a bit closer at it only to see that the ball bearing was broken, the pedal was off axis which made it make sound and sometimes was not very stable. Keep in mind I needed it to go to work, so I kept using the bike. then I fell off the bike twice, and bruised my thigh quite badly, so I contacted the seller and asked for a refund. The seller offered to send me a new handlebar, a new pedal, and a new mudguard. Asked me to wait to receive it as it would solve my issues and I wouldn't need the refund afterward. it took more than a week during which I had to take the public transport to go to work (it cost £7 a day for me, plus it takes way longer) I received the parts today, the pedal is not the same as the original but it will probably solve the issue. The handlebar on the other hand is not a handlebar, it's only the quick release, which doesn't solve the problem at all. I asked for a refund again, I'll update my review after I get some other news

When the bike arrived it was pretty much nearly all assembled apart from a couple of bits to put together which was good. The bike is a bit heavy but ok to carry onto trains and up the odd flight of stairs. Have enjoyed riding it to work. Had a issue with one of the pedals when I first rode out on it but the seller sent another one out a.s.a.p and gave me an £8 refund for my inconvenience. Overall it's a good bike 👍👍👍 Update: bike still good, but would definitely warn anyone purchasing it to replace the folding pedals with standard pedals as the ones that come on it are quite weak. I’ve had two pedals snap on me know and the last one that snapped has led to me having a fractured arm and two fractured ribs as it snapped whilst going at quite a quick pace. Which caused me to be thrown from the bike.

Great buy! Excellent delivery arrived in 2 days. We wanted to buy 2 bikes but ordered just the Ecosmo 26” 21-speed first as I was very sceptical about the price - the cheapest fold up bikes on Amazon. Seemed too good to be true to me but it is exactly as advertised. It was very easy to assemble, took my partner 30-min without any instructions. I tested it out on a 10km ride and was very impressed so I ordered myself the 20” 6-speed foldup as my partner’s 26” is a bit big and heavy for me. My order also arrived within 2 days and it was already made up. We went on our maiden trip yesterday, 36km (20mi) and both bikes performed very well. We are thrilled with them. Only issues my partner has is that his handle bars cannot be raised high enough to place him in an upright position like mine and the right handle grip keeps sliding off the bar slightly so will have to be glued. His breaks are a bit tight so that needs to be adjusted. My only complaint on my 20” bike is that the handle bar is ever so slightly out of alignment with the wheel and it cannot be adjusted any further to the right. It’s out by only a matter of millimetres but still a bit irritating when you look down and your wheel is not 100% aligned. Otherwise these bikes are excellent value for money. I must also add that the 20” bike has brilliant, simple foldup mechanisms.

Bought this as I needed to exercise more, but needed something which would fit in the car boot. Bike is all that I needed it to be. Simple assembly, little adjustment necessary. Gears change well. Quality is good - perhaps frame welds could be neater, though this is cosmetic evaluation only; whole construction appears to be strong, though probably better suited to road and light off-road use rather than mountain biking. Weight is not unreasonable. Folds well, and folding pedals help to keep folded size down. Will fit easily in the back of a Kia Picanto with the rear seat-back folded. Good value folding bike.

Very good bike and great value for the money ,the saddle is not that bad as some have said but i did buy a mother as i have a tender bot ! The disc brakes work well and the adjustment I can see might be tricky but being mechanically minded i got it sorted in a few mins without any instructions ! It folds well but is not that light .Fits in the car well and was delivered very quick and well packed .

This bike is a dirt cheap folding bike. The quality of the product is poor. Since purchasing in July I have had to replace pedals, the chain, brake pads, and the last straw (after only 4 months) the bottom bracket has now gone and is stuck in the frame and professional bike mechanics are unable to remove/replace it. You get what you pay for I guess, dirt cheap bike = dirt cheap components, but 4 months of only 15 minute rides per day shouldn't cause this many issues. I wouldn't recommend this bike, for anyone travelling more than 1km and doesn't want to be stuck wheeling a bulky, heavy unusable bike home again spend a bit more money on a better built bike!
