 Fantastic Value! June 10, 2008

This is a superbly constructed bike. The strong steel frame is a little heavier, but much more stable, and forgiving, for less experienced tandem bikers. First gear is a Shimano super low making it easy to peddle, and get both bikers on their seats and peddles. 21 gear, all Shimano drive train, with SRAM index handle shifters, and comfortable seats, make it easy to do hills. The Promax brakes have complete control of the weight of two riders going down a steep incline. It has the connections for all the fun accessories, two sets of screws for water bottle cages, connection points for adding a three strut mountain bike rack. You can carry plenty of stuff, and then add fold down, rectangular panniers, to the rack, to carry two grocery store bags perfectly. This bike is a summer work horse, for fun, exercise, and a utility vehicle for two. With gas over $4.00 a gal, this bike makes even greater sense. Assembly is easy, only placing handle bars, seats, and peddles, the drive train is completely intact. Cool spacers on the cables running along the front horizontal frame bar, protect the paint. Be sure to tighten all bolts before your maiden ride, shipping can loosen them a little. Tires need 65 psi for a very smooth ride, on city tires, for two. This is a unique value at $199.99, delivered. I have recommended it to several friends.
A surprisingly decent tandem bike June 13, 2008

What attracted me was the super low $200 price for a brand-new tandem bike that was much less expensive (delivered) than used tandems listed on Craigslist or eBay. It's a steel frame, but the 21-speed gearing makes the bike pretty easy to ride if you use them effectively. I was a bit concerned about fit and finish due to the low price, but when it arrived it's all pretty decent and certainly a great value for the money.
P.S. - The exact same bike is currently listed on the Toys R Us website for $189.99 but they will add a $121.34 charge for ground shipping and handling ($311.33 total not including sales tax).
Edit: Looks like they just increased to $239.99 to offset the shipping.
Dual bike for two August 30, 2008

The first thing we did was to take the bike on a 20 mile bike trip through the woods on the Va. Creeper Trail. The bike performed flawlessly and made the trip very enjoyable. We were the envy of everyone on the trail and believe me there were hundreds of people on the trail. We were stopped many times to ask where we got the bike from and how we liked it. They also wanted to know if it was hard to ride with two people and we responded with a resounding no it isn't hard at all. The only problem I had was on the arrival of the box from UPS. When I was putting the bike together i noticed that the front gear was warped fairly badly either from mishandling or craftmanship, but it wasn't to much of a problem. I just kept bending the warped place out until I was satisfied that it was as true as possible then off we went. Over all we have been very satisfied with the biking experience.
fun, sturdy, a bit more than just a novelty November 2, 2008

The shipping was super fast. After I got the tandem in the mail, I spent about an hour putting it together and adjusting it to fit us. If you don't have a decent knowledge of bicycle maint/repair or don't have a strong aptitude for all things mechanical, I'd suggest taking it to a local bike shop. brakes and deraileurs will need adjusted and the wheels will need truing. A lot of fun to ride--nice low gears! Has braze-ons for 2 water bottle holders by the stokers seat and braze-ons for mounting a rack on the back. Heavy but a nice ride and lots of fun for what you pay.
Rapid delivery and excellent choice November 23, 2008

It helped that the item shipped only a few miles from where I live. It was easy to assemble. I did have trouble with figuring out the breaks but if I had read the instructions I would have saved myself a lot of headache. I love this product. I am 5'3" and female and wanted to be a capitan. The only way I could do that on another tandem was to spend very big bucks and maybe even a special order. I got everthing I need in a compact tandem that will even fit on the back of my Saturn sedan on a regular trunk rack. Well it hangs over a bit but still works for me. I did have to add some crank shortners on the back for my 6 year old but we are now an excellent team. Love it!
