Hinge Adult Folding Bike, 20-inch Wheels, Rear Carry Rack, Carrying Bag, Multiple Colors

Great bikes, I purchased two for riding with my girlfriend in Colorado. You just have to be a little handy when assembling. The fender brackets were a little tweaked from transport, so I bent them back in position using some tools any handyman would have. Other than that, they are well made and I’m glad I purchased them. Like that they can easily fold and transport in a compact car with gasoline prices as high as they are. Good luck, I would say give it shot, it beats buying a$500.00 bike at local bike shops.

I haven’t bought a petal bike in a long time. I am originally from NY but moved to cocoa beach FL and the big thing here is to ride a bike. I live in an apartment with not a ton of room, and the rain here has salt water in it so it can ruin your bike quickly. I also drive a small sedan, so the whole folding mechanic is super nice to have. It’s a great bike to ride through town but long distance and hills definitely not. I like the little rack thing in the back because i can put a tall boy white claw or my mini speaker in it. The style is retro and cool. Awesome bike!

This bicycle just works. They call it the "Hinge" because get this... it uses actual door hinges as the folding mechanism. lol 4 stars simply due to it being made in China. If I was saving $1500 dollars theoretically as a person in my 40's from not paying car insurance every year, I should make enough to support American manufacturing but this bike just annoyed me by not reading that fine print before purchasing from an American company. Make sure to clean and lubricate that bicycle chain every week. The hinges may not be properly welded but some white lithium grease spray will get some of the less crude bikes to open and close properly whenever they present resistance.

Well, just like other uses, this bike arrived heavily damage and not fully as described. First, the bike is missing one of the two folding pedals, literally the one thing that made me decided to purchase this bike over others. Second, the rear brakes were completely shot, both arm springs are set so that they won't spring back when the brake is depressed, so the pads pretty much just ride the rim the whole time, this had to be replaced at the tune of $20. Then, the major kicker, came with a severely bent chain sprocket, this cost $50 at a local bike shop to fix, as you need a special tool to replace it. The only reason the bike is getting 3 stars is that the folding aspect does exactly what I need it to do and now that the bike is fixed, it is at least somewhat palpable for riding. Update: This bike has been a disaster. Along with everything above, I have been riding this bike maybe 10 minutes a day too and from my work building and parking lot. Everything has started to break. Front fender gets bent anytime you fold the bike, so now it rides the front tire. Same thing with the chain guard. Rear brakes have only gotten worse and are nearly impossible to get a correct adjustment on due to the poor design of the cable routing. Front reflector just spins and can't be tightened and there isn't even any good place to attach lighting to the bike to make it legal for night riding. What a complete waste of money. Might need to file a BBB on this!

Pro: Sturdy frame. Cons: Folding hinge very tight. Spray it down with WD40 or it can refuse to fold at all. Brakes came tightened too tightly, and had to loosen them as they were gripping the tire at all times. Most uncomfortable seat. Highly suggest replacing the seat. Personal annoyance: I bought the bike under the assumption it was a beach cruiser style as I saw it was a 1-speed. I don't blame the dealer, however, as I should have looked closer. Hoping to eventually replace the tires with backpedal brakes. Otherwise, the bike is very sturdy and reliable. I've deducted it to 3 Stars because the brakes aren't calibrated properly prior to shipping, and replacing the seat seems like a must. After that, however, great bike.

After months of looking I found a fabric zipper case that fits the Schwinn Hinge: "Milliard Carry Case 4" Tri-Fold Mattress (Does Not Fit 6 inch) (cot)" aka "COMIN18JU070802" Other folks have reviewed the bike itself but no one could tell me where to find a good case for it! The silly bag that comes with this bike zips very oddly. I agree with other reviewers that it's almost impossible to get your bike into the Schwinn bag. The Milliard case zips all the way along 3 whole sides, it's a breeze to lay your folded Hinge gently down on one half of the opened case, then just zip it and tilt bike back up into standing position. Has three handles, on the top and ends. Personally, I lift by the two end handles, to spread the weight evenly. After all this thing is not designed to carry 32 pounds of metal. But it seems well constructed and will serve well for car trips. If you save the box your Hinge ships in, that's a good solution too, but the box takes up way more space than a bag. People have wondered what dimensions the bike folds down into. That's a tough question because of the way the handlebars flop over against the side of the bike. I hope my photo helps, I chose an angle where you can see it sort of resembles a giant wedge of cheese. Narrower at the hinge end, wider at the wheels end. 24" stool and ladies' shoes for scale.

I am satisfied but I had to remove and readjust the front break. I was able to fix it and enjoy riding it and didn't see any other problems. It folds easily after I figured it out.

Bought this bike for a family trip on New Hampshire. Relatively good for the task of being transported easily, but the plastic fenders were much too tight and rubbed against the tires making a loud noise. So I removed them, which was an incredibly difficult process that actually required a power drill because one of the screws was impossible to torque by hand as it was deeply recessed between other pieces of metal with a narrow opening to even fit a tool through, no space to turn by hand. Very annoying to start but not the biggest problem. The bike held up on a bike trail through the hills, and scepter on the way back the folding foot pedal broke off. The bike has two foot pedals, one that folds and one that’s locked in. The folding pedal is removable and is attached with corkscrew grooves into the bike frame. Apparently there was enough slack in the folding pedal that during the ride it wiggled around and through pure friction bore the corkscrew grooves completely smooth so that the pedal can never be put back on the bike. It literally broke out n a way that cannot be fixed, on my first real use (I took it around the block when it first arrived just to make sure it was sturdy, I don’t count this as an actual usage case however).
