Can this bike be used as a mountain bike and can you put carrying bags on the battery pack?

Firstly, the bike frame is aluminum and it cannot tolerate hard abuse. There is a warning label on the bike itself and also in the owner's manual, which is on line from Prodecotech.com. A steel frame would be better suited as a mountain bike. Secondly, yes saddle bags and other carriers can be applied, but they must not be sitting on the battery as it has a weight limit of 10 pounds. There are racks available ($20 - $40) that can attach to the saddle post for this purpose.

I found the cycle pro to be sturdy and well made. Additionally, I think the placement of the feet in the right way (level, solid ground ect) I think it would be right for a mountain bike.

Yes and Yes. Make sure you go to a bike shop to put it together and do the ajustments.This is when your warrenty starts. It is by a professional bike shop doing the start up for you.. Great bike! I also got a Burley to tow behind and a finder. It handles dirt and gravel roads easily. This is not a mountain bike so be mindful of that . Tires are pufect for of road. It folds easy enough and is compact for the car. I had a case made that is more sturder then what is marketed. Tear down takes practice which again makes perfect. Hope this helps.

No, it's made to carry the battery only, you might bungee a solf pack bag , but not more than ten lbs...

Since you need more air volume rather than air pressure, the mountain bike version would be better.

It's pretty bulky but it's smaller than I bike. I would say it definitely could go on a bus or train. Not something you would rely fold and carry though.

Yes you can but they recommend switching the tires over to road bike tires...I have my mtb on it but we put the road tires on and it works fine.

I've driven for hours with 2 adult mountain bikes......no problems. Just make sure it is secured.

This bike is by no means a mountain bike but for the price is a very good folding bike. I have had two folders and Hasa is almost as good as the $450 dahon I have (after Hasa was stolen). I think it would do fine on dirt/fire roads but anything too bumpy would be tough on the bike and rider. If you are new to biking and do not plan on doing anything too crazy I would be willing to bet the bike would be fine on any dirt road you would feel comfortable on. I hope this helps.

I don't think this bike would be too big for you to ride. However, it is kind of heavy. There are carry bags with shoulder straps that are made for folding bikes, that might help with the weight a bit.

I don't think this would be my first choice for just a regular bike unless you are *really* paranoid about having it stolen. It weighs a ton, it's massive and biking with this thing in your backpack seems onerous. I use it on my Harley Davidson simply because my Harley is expensive and because I have a saddle bag to put it in so the weight doesn't bother me.

It can be wired. That's what I did on mine. It also has a little cover that covers the connection when you take if off the bike. I just wired mine straight to the battery.

I believe so. As long as your rear tire is within the proper size your bike will work in it. Just know your mountain bike tread will wear down.

Yes, that is true. The bike has a rear rack mounted to it already which is for the battery. Panniers are not an option on this bike. I recommend to my customers who wish to carry items while riding to procure some type of basket that easily hooks onto the handlebar or use a backpack.

I would assume so... I put it on my mountain bike and it work fine as long as you set it up right. Just follow the directions and you'll have no problem.

I am pretty sure you could put a 80cc motor on the Mongoose Brutus..... but keep in mind that the bike itself weighs 48lbs without a rider so a 80cc motor my not be big enough.........

I have a Montague Paratrooper which is a full size folding mountain bike with 36" wheels (36" x 28" x 12). It bulges and it's heavy but it fits. I use the bag more for storage rather than travel.
