Nirve Hello Kitty Special Edition Retro Kitty Girls' Cruiser Bike (20-Inch Wheels) Review

Nirve Hello Kitty Special Edition Retro Kitty Girls' Cruiser Bike (20-Inch Wheels)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this bike for my 7-year old daughter as a Christmas Present. I have to say that it looked absolutely fabulous when assembled. It even came with touch-up paint in the two colors just incase there were any transportation dings (there was not). I added a flower basket to the handlebars, some streamers to the handles, and some heavy duty training wheels to complete the picture. Everyone who saw the bike remarked how perfect it looked (almost like PeeWee's bike). I am giving it 4-stars instead of 5 only because the assembly instructions that came with the bike are somewhat difficult. I am a senior engineer and very mechanically inclined and had a little difficulty assembling things in the right order to prevent myself from not having to remove and replace parts again and again. In all the assembly took about 2-hours. The manual does not refer specifically to this model but rather models that are both bigger and smaller than this one in different sections of the manual - so the assembler must figure out on their own how to interpolate and complete some of the steps from each of the various sections. Not hard - but a little more time consuming that I was expecting. I can definitely see how someone who is not handy with tools might take the whole box to a bike shop and pay for them to assemble the bike.

Encourage your little girl to ride in style with the Retro Kitty 20-inch cruiser bike from Nirve. A fun 20-inch version of Nirve's popular full-size Hello Kitty cruiser, the bike is equipped with such features as a proprietary Galaxie frame, Hello Kitty treaded tires, and a front ringing bell. The double-spring saddle and cruiser-style handlebars, meanwhile, are designed for all-day comfort. Perhaps the sweetest feature, however, is the bike's retro color and shape, which call to mind the classic kids' bikes of the '50s and '60s. The Retro Kitty, which also includes a welded cartridge kickstand, is intended for girls between the ages of 6 and 10.

Nirve B 1 Cruiser 1 speed Men's Tempest Bicycle (Black) Review

Nirve B 1 Cruiser 1 speed Men's Tempest Bicycle (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this bike for my wife for her birthday and she loves it. It features high quality construction, a great paint job, and a very nice ride. A couple things to note however:
First, the powder blue color that is featured in the photo and the description is not what I received. The bike that was delivered is navy blue (this is more a criticism of Amazon than the bike). Fortunately, my wife still loves it.
Second, the assembly process was not as straightforward as I was expecting. The bike comes with much of the bike assembled, but you do have to spend some time putting on the handlebars, the fenders, the seat, and the front-brake. The instructions were insufficient, leaving out important steps and causing me to have to undo steps and redo them as I figured out the proper way to put the bike together. That said, I was able to get through it, and it turned out to be a rewarding, though time-consuming, process.
A couple tips to help you avoid making the same mistakes I did: 1) be sure to fasten the rear reflector before tightening down the fender. 2) be sure to attach the front fender before rigging the front brake. These are probably obvious if you've worked much with bikes, but as I said, the instructions are vague.
All in all, and now that it's put together, I'm very satisfied. By the way, this was for the single-speed bike. I'm not sure how much additional assembly would be necessary for the three-speed version.

Schwinn Southport Men's Cruiser Bike (26-Inch Wheels) Review

Schwinn Southport Men's Cruiser Bike (26-Inch Wheels)
Average Reviews:

It was just what I expected of a US$160 bike with no aluminum frame. It took me less than 10 minutes to assemble. So many people admire my bike... inlcuding me of course! It's such a great looking bike for that money and with great geometry. I'm 6'1" and I feel pretty comfortable although I usually don't ride for more than one hour.
The breaks did require a bit further tweaking but still deserves 5 stars.

My 26" Huffy "Good Vibrations" bicycle is a very nice bike. It is wide enough to fit a large man. It looks large and heavy, but it really is light and rides very smooth. The wide tires allow easy ride on grass, sand, and dirt. I've really enjoyed my bicycle rides around town along with my wife and kids. I recommend this smooth ride.

Bought as a gift for my daughter. She asked for a light blue and the only one I could find at a brick & mortar was $235.00 and didn't look any nicer then this one. She has been enjoying it and said it is perfect in every way.

Mongoose Women's Estes Bicycle (Blue) Review

Mongoose Women's Estes Bicycle (Blue)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this bike from KMart on super clearance. If I told you how much I paid, you'd never believe me. Point being, the price above is much too much for a discontinued bike. The seat was murder. I went biking and struggles to complete 9 miles. So glad I turned back when I did because I'm still in pain from Sunday and it's Tuesday. I highly recommend changing this seat. It feels like you're being branded like a cow to the bone...seriously. This bike is very sturdy. I weigh a lil over 200 lbs, but I love outdoor activities. This bike does lose a lil bit of efficiency on gravel, but the factory tires handle very well. I would recommend this to a beginner biker like me, but not someone learning to ride. This bike is not very lightweight and would not be "fall friendly."

Just got the bike and it looks ok. BUT the Seat, Seat post and Peddles are missing.
I'm not going threw the hassle of returning the thing, that was probably there plan all
along anyway. I will just put a cheap seat on it and I have spare peddles. It is a shame
that you can't get things complete anymore. You do get what you pay for with this bike.
Just not all of it.

I also had seen this bike at the local bike shops and wanted one for a few years, prior I bought a schwin beach cruiser it was nice but not like this bike. It is everything I expected it to be and it's beautiful!! I just love it. I recieved the bike very quickly and it was easy to put together and the 3 speed is great. I liked my schwin but it was a single speed the gears make all the difference.I got this bike even cheaper than Target has it listed for they charge over $80 for shipping...Nirve Island Flower 3 Women's Cruiser Bike (26-Inch Wheels)

I really like this bike. My friends have compared it to riding an arm chair it's so comfortable. Here is everything that is wrong or has gone wrong with it:
-two of the bolts to attach the seat were missing. $5 to replace
-a tube went flat immediately. $5 to replace
-the rear derailleur up and broke. $35 to replace
Despite this, it was still worth the money and when the bike is working, I like it a lot. A lot of strangers admire it.

I love the bike but.......not having put alot of bikes together it was extremely hard to assemble and the directions were not easy to follow. I called Nirve once and they only have one tech rep and he was out of the office that afternoon and no one else could help me. We finally figured it out and I am out cruising the streets. The buike is built very well. I love my bike.
