Reliable purchase, guaranteed to be a good purchase.

In the assembly of the bike as in the photo, no more, no less
I chose between models from 20 to 40 thousand on 04/14/2023 for trips around a mixed city (bike paths are rare for me) and decided to stop at this one, as the most expensive of the selection, but at the same time, I think, the best option

It would be possible to take something more "famous" 1.5 times cheaper, but judging by the reviews of master assemblers, there are very few problems with Welt, which was justified
I tend to think that it justifies its price, it can be cheaper, you can buy something much more expensive, but this model is a clear middle in all respects
On the other hand, the bike that is idle is bad, and there are cons everywhere)

The total time from receiving the box to the first trip is a leisurely 2.5 hours if you have a wheel pump and light manual labor does not scare you

Pros

For me, as an amateur, the pros include: + Everything arrived neatly and the bike is in perfect condition, even there is no dust + The assembly turned out to be very simple, almost everything from the store / factory is configured. The speeds switch normally, I didn’t have to adjust anything, the chain doesn’t cling, the coins don’t stick + In a couple of weeks, 25 km have been rolled along hellish city pits, slopes, sidewalks, roads, curbs, steps, in general, very harsh routes - not a single problem has appeared yet, everything jumps over confidently and does not crumble + I don’t understand the qualities of tires, but on wet surfaces it behaves quite expectedly and steadily + The brakes are responsive and it didn’t really need to be tightened out of the box (although it’s definitely necessary after operation) + The brake discs had to be loosened quite a bit so that there was no friction on the pads, I expected much more problems in this place

Cons

- If you don’t have a set of different hex bits at home, then it will be very difficult for you and / or you will rip off the screw heads, because there are 4 different types of them, but there is no tool included with the bike) - The front wheel bearing had to be loosened a little, because initially everything was overtightened, but this is a trifle and with two keys everything is solved in 5 minutes - Seat . Well, you get used to it in a couple of trips and in general it doesn’t even hurt and is comfortable) - A tiny minus in the pedals - they work and that's it, the grip with the sole, especially if the weather is wet, is extremely bad, but I find fault - Lacks fenders, but who needs a clean mountain bike anyway)
