I just recently purchased this bike and have put over 270 miles on it. So far, this bike is great. It is very beginner friendly and has plenty of power. I am a fairly big man and it fits me great. I am hearing that people are taking these bikes for 200+ mile trips with nothing but praise for it. The seat is comfortable and for a small bike it is a surprisingly smooth ride. I better quit now, I could go on forever. Obviously I really like this bike.
