Zike Sabre Hybrid Bike - is it for Adults also? All of the reviews mention young kids enjoying this bike. Is a good workout for an adult or is it just built for younger kids?

How do you transport a Zike? Does it fit on a car's bicycle rack? Fold up to fit in the trunk or hatch?

The Zike website says:Are there adult models?Currently all Zike models are designed for children, however the Saber has a weight limit of 200 lbs (91 kg) and is large enough to support adults 200 pounds or lower. A full line of Zikes for adults will be available in the future; follow us at facebook.com/getziked and twitter.com/getziked for updates.http://zike.net/qa.html

I am an adult female under 200lbs - I'm 5' 5" and I have absolutely no trouble riding the Zike Sabre; it's completely comfortable and doesn't feel or look too small. It is however a tough workout for the lower body!!!

saber is the only adult model .Zikes specs say up to 200 lbs , another site said 250 lbs

I am an adult and under 200 lbs. However, I'm 5'8". Would this be too short for me or are the handlebars able to be raised?

I own the diamond back and I'm a big fan. It's not quite as nice as trek or specialized but then again it's much cheaper and I have had no issues. I've done a couple fifty mile rides on it and it was more than capable of handling the load. Really good starter hybrid bike

This bike is a fixed gear bike. I bought this bike for my grandson, he wanted one and loves it. He is 18 years old. If you under stand how this bike performs, then you might like it. he rides with out brakes, and loves to go very fast.

It's fine for an average adult, only consideration is it's size- anyone over 130 pounds or 5'8" might get a better ride with the larger one- 60". (I use the 60" and my daughter the 45")

Joan this is a low level bike the tension is very weak.. You will out grow this bike in 30 days. My wife use it while watching television she likes it. If you are a seriously athletic person spend a little more money for a better bike !!!!

I am not an expert...but the bike, for the low price, is actually well made and sturdy, not a piece of junk...it has a large comfy seat and a back and you can adjust it. It is very comfortable and quiet. I paid $139 and it was well worth it. The only thing I can imagine is that at a heavier weight it might not last as long..but that's no big deal. If it gets you started on moving...it's worth it. I have a bad back, that is why I got a recumbent bike and it's really great. I didn't want to spend a lot of money in case I didn't use it as much as I hope...so it is in the corner facing the TV and a half hour goes by in no time. Good Luck with your decision!

Yes, this is for an adult. But any tall kids who are taller than 5 feet can ride the bike as well.

Yes, the foot pedal is sturdy enough for adult use. I would say this machine is a bit difficult for kids to use because the rod holding the thread is a bit flimsy so it is more difficult for my kids to use due of the lack of tension on the top thread for the first few stitches.

It is heavy equipment and more for adults I would think. They are considered professional clubs. I would start off with a lighter or smaller set.. But still, these are great. I just believe they are are better suited for adults. Good Luck!

I bought two for my grand-kids (3 and 4) who are fairly healthy but they've quickly outgrown them. They're great for kids to get over their initial fear of 2-wheel bikes since their legs act as bike stands. They're definitely too small for a normal 5 year old - the seat can only be safely adjusted to 18" off ground. However, they're very sturdy - could easily handle adult weight. Hope this helps.

It is an easy bike to peddle, but this bike is for kids who are five and up. If you are looking for a first time bike for a kid younger than that I would go down a size. It is easier to balance a bike when it is closer to the ground.

I'm not sure, but this bike is not for someone who uses training wheels. It is so well-made and adorable, but not easy for a beginner to ride. My almost 7 year old daughter, who is quite tall for her age, has been riding without training wheels for a year and she needed some time to learn how to ride this one. The handle bars are big and far away which makes it tricky to control and steer until you're comfortable on it. She is barely able to reach the ground with tip toes. For the right age and ability, this bike is the best!

Do not buy this bike, it is heavy and not even a good entry level bike....I've done Ironman before and ride alot. My wife bought one and after the first club ride we ended up having to go get her another bike it was so heavy and slow. Be better off getting a entry level from your local bike shop. If you are trying to go the cheapest way, you can go to Academy and get a Schwinn road bike that is around $250 and will work, but not best.

Yes, it is a good bike. I bought it for my son who is over 300lbs and he is over 6'tall. It does work for him and he is happy with it.I hope this helps. It seemed to be as pictured.Thanks, Audrey

Its different than an outdoor bike in that it doesn't freewheel so your transition has to be done in cadence. The supplied pedals are good quality but they don't take clip in shoes. I tried a hill climb as you described several times, the bike is plenty sturdy but my knees were kind of close to the brake calipers.. No problem getting my heart rate up into zone 4 seated so I'm not going to bother trying those standing sprints.

No. Based on what I saw with my two kids, multiple neighborhood kids, and visiting cousins, no kid can "ride" this bike. It is low, awkward, uncomfortable, un-ergonomic, etc. It looks cool, so kids will be excited to sit on it. Aftwr two minutes (MAX) attempting and failing to find a way to have fun with it, they'll get off and never get back on. Buy a different balance bike, or better yet, stick with a good tricycle until it's time for a bike with training wheels. Learning to pedal is more important at this age anyway.
