I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

All in all, I wouldn't recommend it. If you are willing to endure disadvantages because of the appearance and because of the price is great, then it will do, but if there is an opportunity to buy something more expensive and better, I would recommend doing so. The disadvantages are completely tolerable, I still ride with pleasure, but I understand that it would be much more pleasant on a better bike.

Pros

For a price of 8 thousand, of course, the shortcomings are tolerable. The main advantage, of course, is the appearance; a large, capacious basket is also very good.

Cons

Very heavy! He weighs 22 kg. And the problem is not even that it is difficult to carry it up stairs and so on - because of its own weight, he himself often loses his balance, he is simply unstable. You should always check if the bike is level before letting it go. The weight also affects the handling, making it less smooth. Weight generally affects everything, and this is a huge minus! Another huge minus is the incredibly fragile parts. In combination with a huge weight, when you drag it up the stairs for a long time or slide down a high step, the shackle can bend, sometimes even the part that covers the chain (sorry, I don’t understand the exact names). It is just as easy to set back, but, of course, this is very, very bad. I can also say that the stabilization on a bicycle is so-so, that is, for example, when you ride at low speed, the steering wheel strives to roll away. It's just that the steering wheel turns too sharply, no smoothness.
