Loop

My LOOP came extremely well packed and secure. It is a gorgeous bike. I have not seen anything sub par about its construction. I was nervous due to the negative reviews. The manual was easy to follow and practice made folding and unfolding easier! The tires need inflating but that is pretty standard for bikes that are shipped . The weight of the bike seems heavier but it is indeed a sturdy bike not flimsy. The brakes seem tight so I’m going to have the bike adjusted professionally at a bike shop before I actually use it. My friend who bought a $2500 Electric bike had to do the same. I am feeling hopeful and optimistic that this will be a great bike for me. I’m short, 5’1 and of a medium weight and fairly active but being older I researched foldable bikes and due to being short I felt the loop was a great choice for me. I will review this bike again after it’s adjusted and I have used it. I’m keeping the box just in case it needs to be returned. So far it looks like a quality bike and I don’t really see any signs of sloppy workmsnship. I will do a follow up review . 4 stars right now until I use it. May 16, 2024 Brought it to a bike shop as the brakes looked liked they needed adjusting. Will be spending $90 to have the brakes and speeds adjusted as those are needed. I’m not handy with that stuff and have no idea how to do it but decided it was necessary to have a safe ride. Be aware that this may need to be done if you buy this bike. Will be updating when I finally ride it! May 27, 2024 update - after a $90 level 1 tune up it works great! Very happy with it. I have no reservations about the quality. I really love it. One very annoying thing about this Bike purchase is the fluctuation of price on the various colors on Amazon, you have to watch carefully and buy it at its lowest listed price on Amazon. I pd $412 then saw my white bike for $351 on Amazon now it’s up to $451. Now 6/7/24 absolutely love my loop!!! Important to: watch for the best price on Amazon as the price fluctuates Also before use have it adjusted by a bike shop or someone knowledgeable about bikes THIS BIKE IS SO EASY TO FOLD AND UNFOLD AND IS NOT TOO HEAVY! I’m very happy with it and glad I took a chance on it AUGUST 2024- had to come back and write how happy I am that I bought this bike! It is always in the back of my SUV ready to go! Unfolds in minutes and folds back up in minutes! I absolutely love it

I love this bike. It was < $200 when I purchased it in 2018. It is a budget bike, made in China, but I believe it is excellent value for money. It is an entry-level commuting bike, so don't expect a carbon feather-light road bike with racing gearing. It masses a bit over 14 kg (> 30 lbs) which is fine for 95 kg me, but if you are more petite carrying it up many flights of stairs might be a rough experience. Personally I think the robustness of the thick Aluminium frame is worth the higher mass. It comes with fenders which is ideal for Seattle weather and an integrated rack which is pretty amazing for the price. The kick stand works fine, maybe not quite as nicely as a central dual-leg one if you have cargo unbalancing the bike though. It even has a derailleur guard to protect the mechanics and the chain ring has an integrated chain guard which is perfectly adequate. The wheels are small; 20", but the tires are broad; 45 mm (~2") and fairly low pressure; 450 kPa (65 psi), so the ride isn't too bumpy. Don't bounce into pot holes you can avoid and you will be fine. The gearing is optimised for climbing and start-stop traffic. Out of the box I needed to re-index the derailleur to get into the top gear, but that took only moments. The highest gear; 7, is really quite slow on flat ground which may frustrate some performance oriented riders, but the low gears are really handy for hilly terrain. I do wish the gear range was a bit broader at times, the fastest I've got it going on flat ground is about 35 km/hr with a ridiculously exhausting cadence and you will probably be more comfortable averaging about 15 km/hr. The wheel base is short; about 1 metre, it is a small bike after all, so the steering is responsive/perhaps a little twitchy if you are new to riding bikes in general. But if feels safe and easy to ride to me. At low speeds it is easy to balance and quite safe to paddle or scoot with mixed pedestrian traffic. All the components are reasonable quality for the price. Not high-end, not complete garbage. The brakes are perfectly serviceable. Adjustment was easy and took only a few minutes. The handle bars are fixed, which may be a problem for some riders. I am 6' and they are comfortable for me. The angle of the brake levers needed a slight tweak to be comfortable, but again this was a trivial adjustment and didn't impact folding. It is set up for a typical commuter/city bike upright stance with an average human rider. The folding feature I do not use very much, only when I take it on air travel. The bike is small enough to sit in my apartment hallway or on the balcony without taking much space. The handle bar folding is a bit tricky the 1st time, but easy enough with some practice. I do wish it had an integrated lock when folded, but I fold it so rarely a velcro cable-tie works fine. I've taken it to Hawaii and had a lot of fun with it, the folding is a nice feature I just don't really use it often. The bag it came with is pretty much completely destroyed and full of holes after only a half dozen uses. Yep it is mostly garbage, expect to replace it. I'll probably buy a new $20 one next time I travel with the bike. I mainly use the bike for a few km commute, groceries, etc... but I've taken it on longer rides up to about 30 km on gravel too! I've carried crazy loads on it and taken it places it was never designed to go with relative safety and comfort. It is a robust and easy to maintain bike. The stock seat isn't a lot of fun, but isn't as terrible as many of the reviews suggest. I did replace the seat with a cheap one that is a bit more comfortable. I've added lights and a canvas front basket for every day errand use, for groceries a small crate on the rear rack works well. A few bungees and a cargo net is a good investment for carrying other cargo. Finding panniers that fit it without hitting your ankles isn't easy the rack is very low to the ground because of the small wheels and the bottom bracket is quite close to the rack horizontally, a rack bag might be more practical.
