Can this bike be rode off road, on trails?

While not specifically designed as an off road bike, it is sturdy enough to do so.

I was hoping to put bags on mine, but the instruction booklet says not to put more than 10 pounds on it. I believe this bike would do fairly well cross country, but if the battery ruins dry it's a work out to peddle. I would recommend removing the battery to ride without power, because the battery is fairly heavy. The Manuel recommends this too. This thing goes up hills no problem. I find peddling helps take a lot of the work off the battery.

You probable won't to go with something that has more traction. This bike seems more designed for paved roads.

Yep. We put it on a trunk mounted rack and drove 1200 miles w/o a problem. It mounted just like any other bike.

This bike does not have pedals, so your grandchildren will have to push the bike with their feet and then coast. It will work on grass and coasting down hills but I don't think that it would be fun to ride on a really rocky surface because you probably won't be able to get the coasting action going.

YES!! Definitely. This was omitted/outlawed from some races because it is said that it is too fast. I love mine. It is an AWSUM BIKE.

no you can use it on practically any bike, though its rugged design and gears make it best suited for off road terrain and debris.

Yes. Good on anything offroad. I mounted mine on my ktm and we do night rides in the mountains. They light the trail well

I have road the bike on dirt trails and the front and rear suspension seem to handle the bumps ok as I haven't had any issues. I know that I plan on riding downhill trails on a local mountain next year, but before I attempt this I will have the bike completely looked over and tuned up. Downhill trail riding requires disk brake and full suspension and for the riding I have done I do feel that this bike is capable of handling it especially if you have a professional bike shop give it a tune up and a solid once over to make sure that suspension and brake are set up for your riding style.

Yes, they can be installed on mountain bikes. I think it'll be easier for them to be installed on mountain bikes compared to road bikes.

Absolutely. Works great for off road trails too. My little one is a 35lb 3 year old.

Yes and no. You would have to modify the forks and change the wheels. That would cost a lot to do . You'll better of just buying a bike with all that.

Yes you can. The unit is heavy 100 lbs plus, big, bulky and the wheels are too thin for soft surface travel. If you're going off road you'll have to think about how to transport it. Its a great unit and I recommend it. I would suggest changing out the wheels and devise a way to replace them with a wheel barrel tire. I hope this helps.

Yes we mostly ride a paved trail with an occasional dip onto some very minor off road. A smooth non aggressive fibre.

The answer is no.This bike is heavy and made with cheap components. After about 200 miles this bike will expolde.

Yes you can but because the surface area of the pedal is small it is difficult to keep your feet on the pedal. On a bumpy road it is not comfortable

They are great for riding a "mountain bike" on pavement. Nice and smooth and quiet. They are very light and thin though, so off road use should be limited to well groomed trails. Rocks, thorns, or any other sharp terrain would be a killer.
