Great delight! I have no other feelings. I threw it in the trunk, and now I can go to the bay after work for a ride. Well, isn't that happiness? I can drive anywhere, take out a bike and fly along forest paths or asphalt. Small, but nimble - and on asphalt it can be almost at the level of large bicycles, and it rides along a forest road without fear of falling into pits. I was honestly afraid that compared to my main MTB, the wheels would be small for me. No, I'm fine. Of course, high curbs…

Pros
  • 1. Small when folded. Fits easily on Tiguan and Tuscon trunk floor. In an upright position, it fits into both trunks and does not touch the glass. 2. Long base, longer than the little Hopper. Slightly shorter than the 20" Shulz Goa Coaster or Shulz Easy. At the same time, there are no problems with maneuverability - it is stable on the course, and with a little training you can even ride without hands. 3. The overall quality of the Shulz - excellent frame welding, excellent locking mechanisms, everything is reliable and convenient. I had a STARK Jam 24.2 bike and was unpleasantly surprised by the tight handlebar latch. Not every fragile girl will be able to fold the steering wheel there. With Schultz, everything is done with normal effort. 4. 7 gears - convenient. You can go uphill (or on the sand in the forest), and keep the cruising speed of 18 km / h (I measured it several times on the tracker, this is my average speed on asphalt for an hour and a half). 5. Included as always - and the trunk, and a bell. A trifle, but nice. 6. Comfortable seat. Moderately wide and hard. You don’t wobble on it, but the fifth point doesn’t hurt after a 20 km trip. 7. Lightweight. Lighter than 20" and even more so 24" models.
Cons
  • Since I bought the bike not set up in the store, but in the factory packaging, I had to solve the problem with a crookedly clogged steering column anchor myself. At the factory, it was hammered so that the steering column dangled - it was impossible to tighten it with a screw. Unscrewed - and the screw is not coaxial to the center. No matter how you pull it, there will be a distortion. I bought a new anchor (80 whole), hammered the old one further and put my own. Now the adjustment screw is in the center, and the column does not play. If you buy it in the official shulz store, then you will not encounter this, of course. I already lack the complete front sprocket in terms of speed (but see the comment, it's me, not a small asterisk).

For a couple of months of rides, there are no problems with the bike and I didn’t notice any shortcomings either, although I ride stably a couple of times a week for several hours. The bike is universal, well suited for tall riders. During a long ride, there are no uncomfortable sensations, there are no backlashes either. The folding mechanism works simply, dealt with it quickly. And in general, with a folding bike, a lot of space is freed up, if you wish, you can even take it with you on the…

Pros
  • Foldable = compact. Fit even in the smallest studio or in the trunk of the smallest car. Rigid fork. 7 speeds. Good roll. Full set.
