ZiZZOUrbano 26lb Lightest Aluminum Frame Genuine Shimano 8-Speed 20-Inch Folding Bike

I’ve been riding bicycles a long time, and this is my third folding bike. I’ve had a Dahon, Giant and now this Zizzo Urbano. This is by far the fastest, most comfortable of the three. It’s light, it’s durable and easy to fold and unfold. The unboxing, and set up from the durable box it was delivered in was smooth and took all of 15 minutes because I took my time not to scratch or damage anything. Guys this bike didn’t have a scratch on it and was packed to perfection. I am not sponsored by Zizzo, nor do I work for them or any way affiliated. In fact, I accidentally peeled of the sticker that says, void on the handlebar. I’m assuming I no longer have a warranty, but that’s ok. I know the bike feels like a quality made bike. The gears shift smoothly and I know I’ll have plenty of bike packing and long range bike adventures on this. Hope this helps! If you’re on the fence, just buy it!

We are city dwellers without a garage, and honestly we’ve never biked a lot, but I’d been wanting to bike more and was really hoping these new folding bikes would solve our bike storage issues while also fitting easily into the car for trips to the country. I didn’t use it much last fall because I was waiting for my spouse to get one too, but this spring/summer we’ve been using them all over NYC and the lower Hudson Valley. It’s tiny and sturdy and I’ve taken it in the car and on subways and can stash it in corners where a full size bike couldn’t go. This morning we were finishing up a short trip to the Hudson valley, and it has been raining a lot, and there were still more thunderstorms looming, but we were able to squeeze in 10 miles on the Empire State bike trail, which was a way better use of that short rain-free window than we would otherwise have found (would have been too short a window for a decent hike). We are having so much fun, this bike is absolutely one of my favorite pieces of gear.

I'm nearly 78 years old and wanted a bike I could put in our car's trunk and use some distance from home. This bike is that.The bike arrived very well assembled. I checked all of the nuts and screws and almost all were appropriately tight.As expected the tires did need air. Because one inner tube valve stem was exiting the rim on an angle, I deflated that tube and reinflated it while holding the valve stem in place.Importantly, I wanted to pedal the bike in an upright, comfort position. As this bike uses standard components I was able to find: a set of high rise handlebars to reduce the distance (reach) from the saddle's center to where I grasped the handlebars, a more comfortable seat, and (from Zizzo) a longer seat post and fenders.Also, because I have pedal-pad atrophy I wanted to reduce the force on the bikes pedals. So, I had my local bike shop replace the front chain ring with a 34-tooth ring. I also replaced the folding pedals with mountain bike pedals and removed their pins and added zip ties so I could pull the pedals up rather than push them down and, thereby, reduce the pressure on my forefeet where the fat is gone.The bike is quite nimble and the 34-tooth ring allows me, without hurting my feet, to climb hills easily as well to shift into higher gears for traveling on level surfaces.ZiZZO has a help group on Facebook for discussing their bikes and has produced videos showing riders how to fix the most common issues. Their customer service is excellent too.I am very happy with this bike and ZiZZO!

Light very nice

I was pretty excited for this bike as I have been bike commuting to work for the last four years. I typically ride a high step framed bike but it is pretty bulky and difficult to transport. I started a new job where I don't have any easy or safe place to store my bike outside so I thought a bike I can fold in and store next to my desk would be great. I can also take it on the subway if needed. However, despite me being well below the max weight of 240 pounds (I am a 170 pound male), the bike creaks and groans when I ride and there is noticable flex in the pedals. The small tires are also pretty bad for city commuting as they have no ability to climb curbs and because there is no suspension, the small wheels make the bumps especially noticable. I have also had serious problems with the back tire as the rim tape was not properly put in and this has lead to several flats (I got a flat tire the first day riding it without any puncture to the tire, just a bad tube and bad rim tape).I'm also pretty disappointed in the bikes ability to climb hills. Although it has 8 gears, the tiny tires make even small climbs miserable. Pair this with the fact that I don't really trust the bike to support me if I stand and pedal and it makes for a rough commute.The positive is that the bike does fold in and out quickly. My only complaint is that the handle bar and position of the pedals and seat need to be adjusted a lot during the folding process. If I had a shorter or flattering commute, this bike may be okay and I could see someone who just wants to pack this bike into their car and bring it to a flat canal path or park enjoying it. However, for me, it is very disappointing

Good quality for the money. No adjustments needed out of the box. Shifts and brakes better than expected for a $429 bike. However, it's not 24lbs as described. Mine weighs 25.7lb (11.7kg). It's plenty light enough for a cheap commuter bike that I'll be dragging up onto the bus. BUT it's not 24lbs as described.

68 years continuous riding and working on bikes. This is worth every penny. Design and quality are superb! Lighter weight, one more gear, better derailer sold me on this model. My regular 10 mile route is a bit hilly and very windy some days. Came ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! Brakes,derailer,tire pressure, spot on right out of the box. Excellent packaging by the way. Their less expensive models are probably great too but the miles of smiles I ride made this one worth it to me. Bought it for 4 day trip to Temecula Ca. Didn’t want to mess with bike rack for my other bike.
