QUESTIONS, FOR ANYONE OWNING THIS BIKE:Out of the box, can anyone give a weight for this? Does it come with a home charger? Three prong plug?

Charger is like a laptop charger with 3 prong plug. Bike is 52 lbs with battery on it.

Prodeco's specification sheet says the Genesis 500 weighs 55 lbs with the battery. Yes, it comes with a 3 prong charger. If you go to their website they have a lot more information.

The bike is quite heavy, it's about 50+lbs or so. If you live somewhere with lots of steps it's going to be a chore. The bike does come with a regular 3 prong plug. It charges quickly and holds the charge for quite a while.

Tough question my friend. What is your weight? Of course you would be peddling and not relying on battery power. Depending on your weight it would be worth a shot. You could always try it and if it doesn't perform, return it in a short period? It is a quality bike and I thoroughly enjoy mine.

I am not really sure - my brother has the bike and he charges when not in use. IT IS AN AMAZING BIKE!

Sold my bike with it on so cannot measure but you are right. I just looked at the listing and does not look correct as would never have fit my need. I had it, a gear indicator and a volt meter all attached above my normal motorcycle gauge cluster. Sorry I am unable to measure and give you exact dimensions any longer.

The bike comes complete with a charger that you just plug into a wall socket.

it is a fantastic bike with some cons..... the bike runs good and holds a good charge. The couple cons are the only button on it plays a funny song; it doesn't sound like a motorcycle. The other con is it did not hold up to my sons demeanor. What I mean by that is my son "PLAYS" with his toys, he is hard on them and it broke at the neck of the front end. I actually snapped right in two. He was riding it and trying to pop wheelies and snapped it. My son and his cousins played on it for eight months before it broke. The heaviest kid we had on it was around the 100 pound mark and it did fine that way. it is a fantastic bike with some cons..... the bike runs good and holds a good charge.

It did not come with a home charger. I had to purchase one separately. I think the seller threw in the car charger as a "bonus".

I can confirm the tip for bike tires (we've used it) but others - no idea. Sorry. As for power, just the car adapter unfortunately - I have been unable to find a converter/transformer to modify it for wall use.

My back wheel broke also. I have a feeling they are just really low quality. I contacted Amazon, they told me to contact the manufacturer. I tried that, but their website is broken. So, I contacted Amazon again and they sent me a whole new bike and a return sticker for the old one. This was even though it was past the time for returns. I would recommend contacting Amazon. They seem to be really good about this sort of thing.

Hello, I had no problem with mine, I think yours has some kinda electric problem, did u get extended warranty? If not call Schwinn I am sure they can help you what to do.

Sorry I don't know how much it weighs. It might be a little heavier than the average bike, because of the extra fenders.

honestly though I'd recommend you to save your money and buy a name brand bike light with a lithium battery. This ones been kind of a pain. definatley a tad rudimentary for my taste. an indicator light for battery life would be helpful and the battery pack is a bi&*$ to lug around if your not sporting a Wal-Mart bike with a ginormously thick frame...

It's probably not your charger... My daughter used hers for 5 minutes and it never charged again. The whole bike is not what it was supposed to be..

Hi Ron The battery on this bike is the Prodeco 36v 9 amp and it weighs 8 Lbs Kind Regards Jack

Yes! I had the same concern, but it comes with a mount for the Forward light and for the back flashing light. They're both pretty easy to attach to the bike.Additionally, both lights are easy to attach and detach from the mounts. Which makes charging them super easy.

Although I love the bike, the power monitor/display leaves much to be improved upon. It eventually turns off, but I ended up purchasing the AC adapter. In the long run it will be more cost effective. The only reason to continue to use batteries is if you cannot possibly place the bike near an outlet. Good luck!

Hi,I purchased this bike and has front and back brakes, still its very heavy. I placed a 80cc engine and a moped gas tank in it and its awesome.I dont recomend it if you dont live in a flat city, its too heavy for daily use.regards
