Purchased the 26” mountain bike 2 years ago. I don’t see it on the Greenzone site anymore. One of my best purchases. It folds into the back of my Cherokee along with my Trak folding kayak when I vacation (month) in Florida each year. Great bike, sturdy, fluid gears. Biked 17 miles 4 days ago, 12 yesterday. Only criticism I’d have is the location of the water bottle (necessary because of the high single folding bar). I hope they bring this model back if discontinued.

My wife and I are vacationing in Florida and one of the pedals on our GreenZone bike broke. I called the company, paid a small price for a replacement pedal, and then received the pedal all within four days. Excellent customer service! Love the two bikes we purchased three days ago. We were able to pack both bikes in the truck of our car and use them frequently here in Florida.

We’ve tried numerous of tandems over the years, but none compare to a GreenZone tandem. An easy ride for my daughter and I. From riding in the neighborhood or loading it up to hit the paved trails for miles. I found it difficult to travel with any other tandem, but with this one I can fold it, put the seats down in my SUV and lay it in the back. If I don’t have other places to visit I have no problem putting it on my bike hitch. This bike has an independent pedaling system so it doesn’t matter if she pedals or not. Well pedaling will help, but she can take breaks. My daughter has autism and will never comprehend how to ride a bicycle. I can’t begin to explain how life altering this bicycle has been for us.

Original Review 10/28/17: Very nice bike for the price. Sturdy and the weight was not more than I expected for this type of bike. Assembly was easy. Step-over height is low which we appreciate. I decided to buy this folding tandem because I was concerned about how long a tandem bike would be on the back of a car. It also was hard to find overall dimensions of non-folding tandems. This tandem is about 92” long unfolded. After seeing it mounted on the back of our minivan, we probably did not need the folding feature, but it’s still nice to have, especially when mounted on our smaller car. It was a huge challenge figuring out how to mount it on our bike carrier, especially with the bike folded. The spokes were in the way, and the center of gravity of the bike was very high, making it want to flop over. Eventually I came across a bike adapter bar that’s usually used to make it easier to mount girls’ bikes. It was perfect for mounting the tandem. The feature that we like the most about this bike is the independent coasting feature. It makes it very easy to start and stop. GreenZone calls it an Independent Pedaling System on their website, but that is not really accurate, because both riders still have to pedal at the same speed for each rider to contribute to the pedaling effort. The other feature we really like is the high handlebars. The person on the back can see more than just the back of the front person (unless the front person is much taller). Note that the seats are a little closer together than some other tandems. We had to raise the front seat and move the front seat forward and the back seat rearward so that the back rider’s knees did not hit the handlebar. It would be more of a problem if the back rider was much taller than the front rider. We had just a couple of small quality problems. The back brake was sluggish and we could not get the front chain tight with the tensioner. GreenZone was very good working with us to resolve the problems. A suggestion for the future would be for GreenZone to change the front chain tensioner to a spring type tensioner vs. a manual adjustment. I am also considering changing the 7-speed gearset to a wider range to give more help on hills. The current gearset does not allow us to tackle more than just a pretty small hill. It’s not a big problem since we mostly do rail trails, but it’s not quite sufficient for much more than that. It’s an older style Shimano “freewheel” gearset (14,16,18,20,22,24,28), so choices are limited. The only wider range that Shimano still makes is a MegaGear that changes the largest gear from 28 tooth to 34 tooth, but that would make a large jump between gear 1 and 2. Other choice would be to replace the wheel with a wheel that has a newer style “cassette” such as the HG50. Update 8/26/18: One of the front folding pedals shattered at the pivot, so we had to walk it home. We aren't athletes, and we don't use the bike very often, so I was surprised that it shattered. Folding pedals don't really make it easier to transport the bike if you're transporting it using a bike carrier, so I replaced both front pedals with non-folding pedals, which should be stronger than folding pedals.

.First heard about Greemzpme after seeomg a daytime-TV segment on youtube. Called company and inquired about their folding tandem bikes, which I couldn’t find anywhere else. They were very informative and most of all, especially patient with a novice like me. Bike arrived in NYC within 4 days, took it out of the box, easy re-assembly, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it came with the little bells and whistles of luxury bike, such a great seats, molded handlebar grips. Bike proved to be fugged, withstanding the abuse you’d expect from a novice rider. Evently, motorized the bike with a 500W 48V rear hub motor and now I’ve got the only folding tandlem ebike, as far as I know. Only thing on my wishlist is that they have a suspension on the tandem. Last, been so impressed with the product, I bould one of their 26-inch (FS) models and got a great quality bike that I expected.

Thank you, Alan & GreenZone Bikes!!! What a wonderful experience. I had an issue w/ the latch, and Alan very quickly got back to me, and talked me through an easy adjustment. All good!!! Now for the best part..... My Black Value Edition 20inch..... is Awesome!!! Feels Strong & Rides Smooth. We Just moved Downtown, ride the subway, and this bike is Perfect. Cheers!!! -Tommy

My Greenzone tandem has actually made cycling with my wife fun, for both of us, no really, it has. :) I am an avid cyclist brought up in an urban community, she came from farm country and rode horses in her youth. Our lives merged and she lives near the city with me now. For three decades she has tried to humor me and my cycling, riding her bike beside me on the path or gritting her teeth in traffic that frightened her. Our tandem bike has changed her view of riding dramatically. Now she initiates rides. She feels safe behind me on the road and today she played Pokemon Go behind my back while we rode down the bike path. Now I can enjoy riding with someone I love which is a pretty special thing for me. The independent pedaling feature has made tandem riding smooth for us. The Mrs. claims that this bike is the first on that she's ever been comfortable on. She likes the high handle bars and upright seating position as well. The bike folds to the same length or less than many of my other bikes though I haven't put it in the car yet. All of my dealings with Green zone have been through Alan, he has been very helpful and always quick to respond. We are really enjoying the tandem bicycle experience and have received numerous compliments on the bike. It has turned out to be an excellent purchase for us.

Great value great bike 🚴 I brought a 7 speed for my wife and I in 2015. We ride in a park that has a lake and a 2 mile bike path. I have received complements when I take the bike 🚴 out the car open the bag snap the bikes together and get our ride on. Great phone service also. Regards Dr Brown
