It's more 'economically not viable' than anything else. These types of bikes use old tech, which contemporary bike shops don't usually carry stock of - and even if they order the parts in, the labour cost would exceed the value of the bike. These sort of bikes are eminently fixable, but only if you source your own spares and do all the work. Bike shops aren't interested in them.

​@@deadreckoner5276because they're crap. I've seen videos where such bikes we're ridden hard and in one case the fork suspension got so hot it melted. Couldn't really repair that fork, only buy a complete new one. In another case something in the hub broke after a few rides. Only way would have been to buy a new hub. Thus, part by part you upgrade the bike until you get a normal one because none of the components are from the original anymore. At this point, why not just buy a normal bike directly instead? 😂

I recently got a warning from Amazon for a semi colorful review (no swearing). I said I'd be coming after them for selling me a scam of a product. I guess that was too threatening. But it shows a lot of nerve that Amazon allows the vast majority of their products to be like this. I generally do not buy anything safety related on Amazon anymore unless it's a major brand that is sold elsewhere. This includes things like bikes, electrical, electronic, etc. That fork is poised to kill someone if they really push it.

Had a Huffy and a Maurray as a kid (diff ages and times - smaller kids bikes). Then graduated to a K-Mart Murray MTB I think it was $150 at the time ... rode that for about 1 year on this modified dirt bike technical trail in the woods until i launched off a jump and planted the front wheel into a tree. Early 90s - also didn't know anything about MTBs except they looked sturdier to ride off-road, Wouldn't learn about scale of quality (or pricing) until after the tree jumped out at me. I replaced that witha Mongoose Hilltopper (full rigid) for $600 and never looked back at cheaper bikes again. The K-Mart Murray > the front wheel was fine - the front fork was fine - the Head Tube was just long enough from the top bar to the down tube to pinch like Pac-Man's mouth and force the tire backwards towards the down tube. Technically the bike was still "ridable" but you had to sort of tack back and forth and couldn't ride ina straight line. Fond memories of that first MTB because it's what made me aware of trail riding and yes - lots of fun.

Once I had to work on one just like this. It had a 8 speed threaded freewheel and the forks were probably even sketchier than this has for the looks of it. It was sold as a YOUMA. I really felt bad for the owner, as he probably had spent something like 600€ on it. The rails of the saddle just popped out while putting it on the repair stand. The forks bottomed out immediately and felt flexy as hell. Also it was put together wrong as there was one spacer under the upper crown making the headset all wonky. It was so bad that I felt I had to make a post on a big mountain biking FB group to warn people who maybe didn't know better. So now I'll watch the video.

About ten years ago, just for something for my wife to ride for a weekend we ordered a full-suspension 'mountain bike' from Amazon, brand new for the low, low price of just £60 (sixty!) It was, to put it mildly, a death-trap. When you pulled the plastic brake levers, they'd pull to their limit and then bend the rest of the way until they touched the bar. It weighed a TON, like it was made out of scaffolding poles. The detents in the derailleur didn't in any way line up with the sprockets on the cassette, so no matter how you adjusted it, it would click and clatter. My favourite thing however was the suspension - it had no damping whatsoever, so if you went off a kerb you'd immediately bounce back up to almost the same height and do the same once you came back down, three or four times.

I saw one listed ... giving frame size etc... and in the fine print... it was a light for the handlebars... And another full suspension bike.. for $100... that (reading carefully) was 6" long... (yup.. a model... but carefully not making that clear).

Id rather buy a good make 2nd hand than buy one of these. Im now on my 3rd ebike (first and second bikes were Chinese folding ebikes) after pearning this lesson the hard way. I now own a kalkhoff and im amazed at the quality difference. The kalkhoff was actually cheaper as well

Someone who knows a little little bit about bikes , knows that this bike is junk. Someone who doesnt kniw anything, why take the risk? Just go Decathlon, buy their basic bike , it will still be basic, but 1000x better than that.

Carbon steel is the cheapest steel used for bike frames - if a manufacturer don't say Cromoly on a steel frame you can assume it's carbon steel. The Eurobike from GCN is also made of it, these bikes are always heavy as hell

I always want to do more when it comes to biking, I have 7 bikes, 2 full suspension mtbs (1 36LBS trail, 1 32LBS all mountain, I could sell 1 of these), 1 32LBS hardtail mtb, 1 21LBS fully rigid carbon mtb, 1 gravel bike, 1 road bike and a recumbent. For a full suspension mtb it seems about $1000 needs to be spent to get something decent, hardtail can be had for about $400. I've purchased from bikesdirect and bikesonline and have been real happy with my not bottom end purchases, if one buys bottom end you can't expect much. craigslist is a good place to find a nice bike, look for one that has spent most of its life indoor storage. Good luck fellow bikers, have fun, get a grin on your face and ride.

My brother in law bought a schwinn knowles duel suspension mountain bike. It's 22 kilos the non drive crank arm fell off on first ride (crankshaft protrudes from crank arm because it's too long) so can't tighten it unless it's filed down. The shocks only travel a few cms because apparently it's made for big foot or something. The list is endless. Schwinn no longer makes bikes some company bought the name. I could have fixed it but tossed it in the dumpster. I wouldn't feel right even trying to sell it.

Well the only advantage is you don't need to lock it up ever, imagine the rust on it after 6 months of ownership if it lasted that long, probably double the weight.

I bought a POS like that in 1999. Luckily, I had parts left from a legitimate bike company hardtail that the frame had broken twice on. Yeah, the parts are not suited for use. After replacing all of the parts on the bike less the vee brakes and levers and rear boinger, I was able to ride that bike for about ten years until a car driver tried taking me out again. Wheels were butter and were replaced buy some from a bike shop. Good news is, that bucket of bolts taught me how to work on bikes and still do to this day.
