Schwinn Mikko & Huron Adult Cruiser Bike for Beach Rides

Bent Mountain Girl: Got this bike to take with us camping. It’s been a long time since I rode a bike. Still remember how

sunckid: I disliked that the paint on the bike did not match the frame. The fenders to the bike are a faded white and do not match the frame of the bike.

CindyCindy: Ordered this bike and assumed ourselves. It’s a great bike but losing a star because apparently it’s very important to have your bike assembled by a professional. There’s more to it than just putting some screws in. There’s a lot of adjustments that need to be made that I was unaware of. But I digress, tue bike came and the front rim was bent. Called Schwinn customer service and they were extremely helpful. Asked if I wanted to take to a local bike shop to have the wheel trued and submit for reimbursement or if I wanted them to send a new rim. I chose to take to a local shop. The shop said it was too bent to tru it. I let Schwinn know and they immediately sent me a new rim. Had the bike shop change it out for me and do all tue other adjustments needed and the bike is perfect. Love it.

Client d'Amazon: This bike is perfect. It arrived quickly. I got Velofix Bike Company to assemble it because I wanted it to be done properly. It’s so comfortable and smooth. Easy to get on and off. Everything - gears, brakes etc. are all fine. It’s a really great bike. The color is bright red - I’ll get used to it. Well worth the cost.

Amazon CustomerAmazon Customer: The assembly for this bike nearly ended my relationship (lol) but I am so happy with how this bike turned out. I got the 7 speed, and am in love with it!

This bike is heavier than I expected and does poorly on any terrain that is not flat pavement, but considering that I bought it for primarily flat roads, I am satisfied.

GH1: We bought from Amazon Warehouse- as used, very good condition. I dare you to find anything wrong with the bike. It was clearly never unpacked, never mind used. Perfect condition. But . . . worst instructions ever (seriously) and not even a YouTube video on how to put together. I just gave up, and thought back- if I was a 13 or 14 year old kid, how would I put it together. Worked like a charm and I got it together in 30 minutes. Tuning of gears and brakes took a lot longer. The lack of even basic instructions is unacceptable.

The bike looks great, and works as expected. The fenders are a bit hard to get properly aligned, but we are happy with them (we bought this Mikko [Woman's version] and a Huron).

Amazon Customer: The bike looks and feels great. The problem is in the assembly. For people without previous bike repair or setup knowledge, this will be difficult. You will also need appropriate wrenches and Allan keys, which are not provided for the 7 speed bike. Some of the instructions are unclear as every possible bike arrangement is given as opposed to just the ones applicable to this model. Steps are missing, eg disconnecting the brake cable before installing the front wheel. However, all of that is manageable with the right tools and patience.

This bike fell flat for us because the freehub assembly on the bike does not spin freely. You can barely spin it by hand when you remove the back wheel. This causes the derailleur to jump forward when you stop pedalling or pedal in reverse, and the chain to jump off. It took me a lot of fiddling with the derailleur and YouTube videos to diagnose the problem. Learned a lot in the process though! However, now we have a beautiful bike that cannot be ridden and we are debating if it is easier to take it to a local repair shop or deal with a return through Amazon…

KP: This is definitely a very sturdy bike. If you are looking for a feather weight bike, this is not the one for you. The bike is packaged very securely with an appropriate amount of protective foam/cardboard/plastic. The box is clearly labeled that there is a bike inside, so take that into consideration when tracking your delivery. Installation involves attaching the seat & seat bar, handle bars, front wheel, pedals and front fender. You will need several tools, no tools are included with the purchase. It took me a little while to assemble the bike, as it was my first time ever doing something like this, but between the written instructions and the on-line video, I was able to figure it out. One small glitch, the front fender had a dent in it (it appears to have happened at the factory, as there was no evidence of the shipping box being damaged). I called the 1-800 number, gave the model # etc. and had a helpful conversation with customer service - 2 days later a new fender arrived. Overall, very pleased with my purchase and that it was an American company that I purchased from.

DannyDanny: Overall... I am Happy with My Purchase.
The Package arrived Safely and Well Packaged (it arrives partially assembled).
The Assembly Book/Instruction Manual is not written too well.
Although if you can "Swing" a Wrench and "Twist" a Screw Driver You can pretty much put this together without a Manual. I used both Metric as well as Standard Wrench Sizes. You also need a Larger Sized (Size Unknown) Allen Wrench for the Handle Bar Assembly and Adjustment.
The Bike itself is a Solid Quality Schwinn Product.
It is "Single Speed" so you need to really "Get on it" to get up any Incline.
I purchased this for My Wife... She is "Happy"... So I am "Happy"...

BadKarma: Bought this for my daughter - she loves it! Color is cute, it's very comfortable, and it rides / shifts smoothly.

A few notes:
- The box specifically says not to transport on the side, but on my package the side of the box was worn through on the derailleur side, including scuffs on the derailleur itself but no mechanical damage (thank goodness). If you get one of these, that's the first thing I would check.

- the paint layer is very thin and scratches easily, even from assembly itself. Leaning the bike even casually against anything (like a bike rack) will likely scratch it. For a beach cruiser, this introduces the risk of rusting.

- there are no specified torque settings for the handlebar stem and other nuts - that would be helpful to make sure you're not over-tightening

- it comes with no tools, so you will need some wrenches and larger hex wrenches (1/2 inch I think?)

But for the price, and especially given the VERY high demand for bikes during COVID-19, we are very happy overall, minus 1 star for the damage to the box and the assembly quirks / paint.
