Pros & Cons
2 / 5
Cycles nicely, but unnecessary defects
Seats and cycles fine on its own, but from the start had problems with the bike, made rattling noise, mudguard not fixed properly, stand came loose etc. Lighting is worthless, hardly noticeable, battery almost empty after a few nights' use. So you have to regularly go to work with screwdriver and socket to insert different types of batteries - out of date. Inner tube had to be replaced after 3 months because valve was loose. Service from Mantel was very good, by the way.
