We Ride The Worst Reviewed Bike On Amazon | How Bad Can It Be?

[@ttoussaint]

I work in a bike shop part time and you’d be surprised of how many people buy E-Bikes of similar quality and get mad at us when we say we can’t really fix them.

[@deadreckoner5276]

Why not?

[@richardwatson2348]

It's a shame they get mad at you. When in reality they should be made at the manufacturer

[@creepingjesus5106]

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.

[@cloudgazer4570]

​@@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? 😂

[@mattving61]

Yep. If we get something in with a group set we've never heard of we don't touch it. Why? The parts can be cheap/poorly made and hard or too time-consuming to adjust.

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.

[@arnaudFbr]

they just put all the features that usually "look cool" on a bike from a non mountain biker's point of view. double crown fork, full sus, especially a coil shock, disc brakes and fat tires

[@uberfu]

[@peteMickeal33]

exactly. Garbage scam bike from china. Everything in its build and name is there to fool people who want to get into mtb but don't really know anything. Instead of building a usable and modest bike for 500, they built a useless one that will catch the eye of a newbie.

[@MrGourd]

Reminds me of my first mountain bike I bought when I first got into the sport and I knew nothing about bikes. I just went to the local department store bought one that was cheap and looked cool. Thankfully, I never encountered any catastrophic failures and even though it was a piece of junk I still had fun on it.

[@bibasik7]

Department store bikes may not be the best, but they're better than this. Department stores don't want the liability of selling dangerous bikes. Amazon sellers, on the other hand, are never held accountable for anything.

[@dylan-5287]

For most of my childhood me and my buddies rode cheap Walmart mongoose mtbs lol. When that's all you know they're great. I didn't think it was even possible for gears to actually work perfectly. Then you get a "real" bike from a legit brand and it's like holy shit this is amazing!

[@uberfu]

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.

[@uberfu]

@@dylan-5287 And brakes too - don't forget the brakes (as in wow - this bike can stop without me skidding out of control or planting my feet like Fred Fintstone - I'm sure my mom kept track of how many shoes I burned though at the time).

This is Sam Pilgrims job

[@YRR_J]

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.

[@leonardhpls6]

So you basically tried to kill your wife with a pos bike. I hope your now divorced

[@bonzobanana1]

I don't get the point of suspension on a fat bike. The whole point to me is using the fat tyres as the suspension and having to avoid the weight of normal suspension. This means the fat bike can be more competitive in weight and still very comfortable, amazing grip and capable of ok off-road performance, not so much jumps just dealing with rough and loose ground. Dual suspension on a fat bike just seems horrible unless you have a motor to help with the weight. I certainly wouldn't want a 3x gearing setup with that very basic Tourney rear derailleur. 1x with a narrow wide chainring and a decent entry level rear derailleur perhaps an Altus or something with an even stronger spring would be better. The thing is because you are stripping away the suspension, complex frame and overly complicated gearing such a good quality fat bike could be sold for £500 the same price as this because the bike would be much simpler with less parts. Does anyone remember the Calibre Dune, that was a decent fat bike that sold for less than this I think. This is just a pointlessly complex bike a terrible recipe of bike parts.

It looks kinda ok from a good distance. I found similar listings on eBay and Amazon when you zoom in on the pictures it's pretty bad. Glad the camera did show that magnificent manufacturing and built quality 😂

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).

Probably the same bike in Romania costs 200€, it calls Omega. It s from Carrefour:)))

[@Larry93215]

See if you can find a 2008 or so Ibex ignition full suspension mountains bike after shock upgrades it's fabulous Green

'Wind Greeting?' Yeah, that's about what it deserves.

1 Star ⭐️ Because zero stars isn’t ever an option. 1 isn’t the loneliest number in this case 😁

I bought a Walmart special Mongoose Dolomite. If you are going to buy a cheap fat bike, at least buy one that won't fall apart in 10 minutes.

I got a 2016 Whyte T130 carbon in good condition for less than 50% more than they are charging for that pile of scrap!

The amount of waste produced by these products is insane. We need to hold Amazon accountable in some way for this stuff. They enable these products to be sold, but even worse, they enable the sellers to manipulate listings, ratings, etc to keep people buying them. and before someone says, "Consumers should be more informed." I agree. The issue is that amazon will often mix/match products from similar retailers and you can wind up with these products without even meaning to. Or worse the product pages are outright lies. Even worse, if a retailer sells their product outside of Amazon's marketplace Amazon will often force that retailer to offer their lowest price on Amazon(punishing them if they don't) which allows Amazon to mix/match products. This is why a lot of retailers will not honor warranties when sold through Amazon anymore, because they can't know if you received an official product or a knock off.
