I threw it on credit, threw the bars on, bought some lime green nylon pedals from Amazon for $26. Used My genius to get air in the front tire without the adapter while plugging it in till the light turned green, maybe 20 minutes. Took it for a ride, and I was disappointed at first cause of the chain noise, the chain would also bind up rolling backwards. I threw some pneumatic tool oil on the chain, tried adjusting the shift lever, took it too the bike shop, but they said it’s normal and the chain will break in and it will subside. I’ve been riding for 3 days now, it goes up steel terrain like nothing, and I’m used to the roughness in the chain in the lower 3 gears that I barely use. I think I was just in too low of a gear on flat ground to begin with. Buy the bike it’s amazing and the drive system is super simple, has the most torque, and the most seamless of any other drive system, which is what makes it the best. I bike for exercise so having the bike make you work a little is also a plus for Me.
