Nice bike, but be careful about your expectations (and first ride)
I need bike access when on travel. I did quite a bit of research prior to my purchase, and have a good biking background over many years. I bought the premium black Greenzone bike a month or so back and had it shipped to my daughter for her gift and my use during my upcoming visit. She only took it out of the box, checked the tires and let it sit until my arrival. We got there and were impressed by the quality frame, easy folding mechanism and some good quality components. It did have rather cheap tires and a easily bent soft metal chain guard ring. Folding and unfolding is easier than my Dahon Curve (several years old), but i think it does need some fold/closure mechanism (strap or magnets) while holding closed it during transport. As is, It opens easily when folded and is then an awkward hold to keep it folded while holding and loading into a trunk. My first ride was interrupted by a bent chain guard ring, that i needed to unbend with my trusty leathermand tool. Must have bent during transport out of the box, but i don't know. Everything was fine at that point, until our big ride. We planned a bike trail ride of several miles and my wife would use the Greenzone. She said the seat was hard, but we knew it might needed to be upgraded at some point. We rode about 2 miles and one of her pedals fell off. Shocking, but i found that the other pedal was also loose. Fortunately, the one pedal had not stripped the threads too bad and i was able to replace / tighten both. I don't know if that is a factory omission, or something my daughter did not do when taking out of the box. The rest of the ride was uneventful and fun. I preferred the Greenzone to my 16 inch tired Dahon Curve. As a whole, it is a fine bike for the price. It rides great, feels stable at speed and is great for recreational use, but don't expect it to be in the same league as a tricked out Brompton,Tern, Dahon or Bike Friday. Like any new bike, it is a good idea to inspect thoroughly and not assume perfection out of the box. Would i buy another?...if i had only $300...a definite yes. I like my dahon for take down / suitcase travel, but the Greenzone is a fair product at a fair price.

Fun!
I ordered the tandem. My wife and I have been riding it. This is good quality bike. After initial assembly it needed some adjustments but nothing I could not handle.

Hello Manuel, My wife and I enjoy riding the tandem also, except when I have to do all the pedaling! Thanks for the review. Alan

loving my first ever folding bike.
I wanted to buy a folding bike because I liked the concept of folding and putting it away, like in a trunk. I googled folding bikes, and the first site that showed up was Green zone bikes.

Nice to ride - with unexpected features
No question, this bike is nice to ride. But there are some things you should know. The technical support does not know details about the bike, so better do not trust him/her, if the advice is not obviously right. There are parts of bad quality, which may need replacement after short usage. The seat post shim is made from very bad material, better use one made from aluminium. The left crankarm needed replacement after the screw loosened by the time and it wore out. When you switch to the 7th gear and there is not enough tension on the chain, the chain from time to time comes off the crankwheel (the big one in the front!) and you get dirty finges fumbling it back into position. So the bike is nice to ride, but if you need a shop for each repair, better look for another one.
Date of experience: November 04, 2014
Hello, Thanks for the comments, not sure who you spoke with when you called but someone in service can always help you. We already changed to a better shim. if you need anything else, just let us know. Thanks Alan

Great little bike.......one little problem
My wife and I have enjoyed these little bikes for awhile now. They seem to be well made with only a few minor aesthetic flaws. All in all, we are very satisfied. I had only one little problem which was mostly my fault. The pedals have a very strong spring. When unfolding the pedal, it caught my little finger, bent it back and broke it at the base joint. It is right in the worst place for a firm handshake and it gets crunched regularly. The pain is always there although steroid shots seem to help (I hate the shot between the fingers)! Be careful when you fold/unfold the pedals!!
Date of experience: November 07, 2014
Hello Tom, much better to just use your open palm when opening and folding pedals like shown in the video. Hope finger gets better! Thanks for your kind words, Alan

Love this bike
I bought the bike to commute around NYC. It has been perfect. I can place the bike in my car trunk pull it out and zip everywhere on it. It has saved my $100 of dollars in parking fees in NYC. The only down side the reflector all came off. Cheap plastic!!! I got this deal from channel 7 ABCNY. Best $199 bike ever. Should have cost about $300-400

Hello Vacman, We do ship a lot of GZ bikes to the New York area for commuting etc. Glad it is working out for you! Thanks Alan

Convenient, easy to store and it catches a lot of attention on the subway!
I am a 4'11 petite person, I love my bike! I travel by bike and public transportation in the SF Bay Area. It isn't overall heavy so carrying up subway steps isn't hard at all. Subways during rush hour get very packed, but with my bike, I just fold it up and spare the public some space. The fact that it folds up has been a time saver. My friends offer me rides and it's totally not an issue because the bike fits perfectly in their standard car trunk. I've had my bike for about two years. the base is durable but I'll probably have to change the wheel's mud/water guards soon.

These bikes are wonderful to use for travel. and the customer service is outstanding.
We bought two of these bikes almost three years ago because we wanted something to use when we traveled with our camping trailer. The size and convenience of the bikes are wonderful. One of the bikes had a problem with the handlebar locking mechanism. We contacted the company and they replaced the part. Later on the part had to be replaced again but they had switched to another mechanism, but they found a part that fit. We have had no other problems nor did we have any problems with the other bike wee ordered. Whenever we contacted the company, they responded immediately. All communication with the company has been prompt and helpful. We have and will continue to recommend these bikes.

Hello Fred, Glad you are still enjoying the bikes. We are always looking to upgrade components based on customer feedback. We did that with that latch a few years ago. Keep on enjoying your GZ ride! Thanks, Alan

GREAT GREEN (RED) BIKE
Love my bike. Is easy to transport, fun to ride. The only concern I have it that the seat will not slide down to a low position (I believe because there is some a bump from welding inside the pipe that won't allow it to slide past. So I just take the seat off when I fold it up and transport it. Good investment. Should have bought one more.

Hello Laurie, thanks for the review, glad you like your gz bike-- sounds like the post might have scraped the tube a little- should be able to find the small burr blocking it and can just file it down and it will be smooth again and go all the way down. thanks Alan

GreenZone is the perfect accessory to any outdoor adventure!
I just purchased a folding bike from GreenZone about a month or so ago, and it was one of the greatest purchases I've ever made to date. I've owned another folding bike a year ago from a different company but it was too uncomfortable to enjoy. But not my GreenZone, it has been a comfortable, enjoyable and affordable (unlike the last one) ride every time. I take a lot of weekend trips to Austin and eveytime I go I have to bring my GreenZone so I can just fold it out and ride around the beautiful Lake Travis and other great places in the area. It goes great in the city as well! I would recommend this bike to anybody! It has been an absolutely amazing ride so far!

Great Bike, Excellent Quality, great value for the price.
We got a couple of this bikes to keep inside out power boat, after weeks of research I can tell you that this was the best option available (for under $300) after placing the order we received our bikes in a timely matter along with excellent email support. I'm very impressed with the quality of this bikes (perfect for what we needed) light, small, easy to fold and a great ride. lots of accessories (that you can remove if you don't want) but this extra accessories that you get for free will cost you extra money with any other brand. excellent value.

Hi Erick, Just like RV folks, Boat owners love our GZ bikes also. You are right, small enough not to take too much room on your boat and nice to have when you dock and be able to ride instead of walking a long distance. thanks alan

Great Bike.
After looking online for several weeks, decided to go with greenzone. I saw the video on the website which showed how easy it was to use and the different adjustments. For the price and with all the free extras they throw in, I am very pleased. My husband and I each got one and use them all the time when we travel in our RV. Best purchase we made in a long time! Will keep on telling everyone about greenzone. Thanks Again, Susie

Great service
When i first received my bike the logo was halfway off but that didn't matter to me i don't like stickers. The video that was attached with the email was very helpful. When i notice that front brake was loose i emailed the company and someone got back in touch with me. He was very helpful, he told me to take the bike to a shop and get it fix and he would refund my money. i got the brake fixed and took a picture of the receipt and he refunded my money. also my husband loves the bike and i think i want to get one for myself.

Hi Shay, We will be waiting for you to order your own. Your husband will be very happy! thanks alan

Love my Greenzone bike!
Love my premium edition greenzone bike. Easy to fold and light enough to just stick in my trunk or backseat to take with me whenever I want to ride. The bike arrived in just a few days and was almost completely assembled- even I could do it! Get lots of compliments when I am riding it and always direct them to greenzone. Keep up the good work! Happy Customer in Sunny Florida! Holly

Second year of college with my Greenzone bike!!
I love having my folding bike with me on campus! It makes getting from my dorm to all of my classes ten times easier and quicker since they're all pretty far apart. I've been using my bike everyday and it still rides as good as the day I bought it. The best thing about it is that I can fold it up so that it fits in my small room. It's light enough and small enough that I can take it into classes with me and not have to worry about it getting stolen like some of the other bikes on campus do. SO satisfied that I decided to invest in this bike for college. Thanks Greenzone! Kayla from UT \m/

Hi Kayla, You are right, these are great bikes for campus life. Makes it a lot easier to get to your classes. Tell all your jealous friends where you got it. thanks alan

Great folding bikes. UNSURPASSED VALUE.
I wasn't able to find a similar bike delivered or purchasable in the US that came close to the value that my GreenZone Bike is. I looked for a long time... Solid little bike, lots of extras included, Smokin' price. I've ridden it around town a bit, but can't wait to fly away to a beach somewhere & have my bike with me.

Hello Ban, Thanks for the nice comments. Glad you are enjoying your GZ Bike! Take some cool pictures when you are at the beach and send us some for our website. Thanks, ALan
