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?

This bike is for kids. 120 max. Its also an unsafe piece of junk. Do yourself a favor and spend another $100 and buy from a bike shop or something else.

My cousin's 16 year-old son and his friends who are 6ft plus, have a great time on this bike! I think your son would enjoy it as well.

Excellent for that! My 11 year old rides his bike all over the neighborhood. I personally find the bike to be of excellent quality.

I took my Zike to a local bike shop which happened to be a recumbent shop and the owner was able to order it and install it for me if you know how to install or what you are buying you could probably get it at Amazon but if you want to get it locally just go to a bike shop and they if they are a good shop they would be willing to order it and install if you like it doesn't take very long to install it if they know what they're doing. I'm not mechanically inclined so I took it to the shop take less time for a knowledgeable person to do it right.

Yes, it is great for the size/age. Might be tough on his legs getting used to it, but that is normal. The construction on this bike isn't as good as others -- but for the price this is perfect for the age!

It's a bike for an adult. The ride is comfortable, once you install a superior quality crankshaft and bottom bracket. Any basic/ entry level Shimano or SRAM parts should do fine. Don't break the bank by purchasing overly expensive components. I got some good deals and upgraded with very good SRAM components parts.

This is very much an adult tryke; I found out about it because I saw other adults riding theirs. So far, I haven't seeing children riding it. I can't imagine an eight year old on one, and most of my bike riding, adult friends have a hard riding mine!!! Hope that helps.

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 !!!!

This is our kids second bike and I would highly recomend it. The Diamondback is better built than the other bikes we have bought and is very durable. Our kids ride these on trails by our house and they work great.

Could work ok for a beginner. Wouldn't take long for a 12 year old to learn the basics and be ready for some real power. I would save my money and get a used Japanese bike or possibly a 125 pit bike

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.

its for a adult. I'm 39, but I would look for something different now that I have it. It is not a nice riding bike for me.

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!

How about a Vespa? Believe it or not this was fun for about 15 minutes. I had fun but I wouldn't trade my 1966 Schwinn away for it. I really believe it's more for a ten year old than an Adult. But it isn't a huge investment, it folds up and isn't bad to carry. An when you get done it fits inside the closet.

I bought this for my grandson for his 4th birthday in June and he gets on and off just fine. I don't have the bike at my home but the cross bar is not much higher than the top of the tires as you will see in the picture. I think its a perfect fit for a 4 to 6 or 7 year old unless he's going to be a basketball player! My grandson has a lot of fun on his bike. I think yours will too. This is a very nice bike and very easy to put together. I'll post a pic on the site if I can of Paul with his birthday bike.
