Got my bike a year ago on a GMA deal. Flat tires after a few minutes, not even when riding it. Seat Post won't adjust, it went up but then stuck and won't adjust and has scar marks on post now. Bracket to fold bike sticks, and can be very hard to fold. Also bolts on the seat keep getting loose so you spin when riding. I have sent a couple of e-mails and they go un-answered. I do not recommend this bike and wish I had not got roped in on the Deals and Steals. Do your homework! So after discussing with Green Zone about my problems I have now got a new seat post that is much higher quality. They offered to send one if I changed my review, but I had already ordered one. The bike is folding now that we have worked the spring latch a bit with WD40. I figured out how to fold it by working it and then using a screwdriver to pry the latch which is a spring loaded pin. You will not see this on any video, they just show pulling it and bending it but you do need to pull up on the latching piece to pop the pin out. I was doing that but it was stuck in the locked position. The seat post must have bent in transit and then it got wedged in, so once out we replaced it. Also used the supplied bracket on the new post and not just bolting it to the bare pole, is much better. The bike does ride nice and shifts well. The bag tears easily that came with it. If you order one make sure you take pictures of the box if damaged, and put bike together right away. This was my mistake. Still not sure why I had trouble with a response from Green Zone to an e-mail a year ago and a phone call with this issue, but a bad review got quick attention and they were on it after that. So hopefully all is good and the bike will now be trouble free.

I bought my cute red GreenZone Bike over the winter. I was extremely excited when the weather broke, so that I can get on it and ride. The first day, I took the bike out to ride, I noticed it was extremely slow and there was a clicking noise. I saw a man on a folding Citizen Bike, who looked at me and laughed. As though to say, you should have bought one of these instead. Nonetheless, I kept riding. The next day, I sent an e-mail to GreenZone, as well as gave them a call. I spoke with a guy, who wasn't very pleasant. He told me to adjust the black knob in the gear area. I did just as he said several times. However, it still has the noise and the chain is jumping off track. Yesterday, April 20, I sent another e-mail, asking for assistance, no reply. Today, April 21, I called several times and the phone is going to voice mail. What type of place is this and, what Customer Service? Seems as if there is only one guy there. I am extremely disappointed with the bike and customer service. I will spread the word to others that are looking for a folding bike to look someplace else. I knew I should have gone with The Citizen like I started. Now, I have to go to a bike shop to get this bike in proper working condition.

No question, this bike is nice to ride. But there are some things you should know. The technical support does not know details about the bike, so better do not trust him/her, if the advice is not obviously right. There are parts of bad quality, which may need replacement after short usage. The seat post shim is made from very bad material, better use one made from aluminium. The left crankarm needed replacement after the screw loosened by the time and it wore out. When you switch to the 7th gear and there is not enough tension on the chain, the chain from time to time comes off the crankwheel (the big one in the front!) and you get dirty finges fumbling it back into position. So the bike is nice to ride, but if you need a shop for each repair, better look for another one.

Sturdy ,practicle for all types of road surfaces. With full fenders and a strong rear rack it is so versital. Only foldable bike I saw with fold up pedals. Ride in style. Enjoy!

The only thing I'm unhappy with is the return policy. I bought a bike and would have loved riding it, but with a recent knee replacement I found it impossible to do so. It was a dandy bike and I regretted having to send it back. I also regretted the price I had to pay to ship it back! It would be nice if the company could send a prepaid label upon request. I asked for one but was directed instead to USPS as the cheapest way to return it. I ended up sending it UPS.

The bike has nice features and it does what it's supposed to do. It's actually kind of heavy in my opinion. Doesn't have any locking mechanism for the bike to stay closed when folded. Also, have to keep pedaling just to keep moving. Slows down really fast!

In short: nothing worked. First ride showed faulty brakes. Repair cost- 240$ for two! Disappointed.
