GreenZone bike
We bought two of these bikes for tooling around at campsites. we ended up taking them everywhere. We really enjoy the quick breakdown and set up. We also travel with two road bikes that we do M S bike rides with. David & koreen bike the us 4 ms . However we found it very difficult to ride to the store , bathhouse or other areas when we are between rides. We feel they are a wonderful purchase. love them .

Is it a Bromptom, A Dahon Speed Pro TT? - NO - Its a Greenzone Bike
I have had all of the bikes mentioned (4), and sold them. They ranged from 1400-2100$ and I am still scratching my head with the quality and ride of the Greenzone bike 16inch folder - I just don't know how they do it at the quality level they provide - don't even think about it JUST BUY IT.

My experience with GreenZone folding bicycle
I live in San Diego, California. I am a retired person, but I have very active life. I have purchased GreenZone bicycle 20'' Premium Edition in June 2015. A took a few photos yesterday of my bike on the beech of Mission Bay in San Diego . I am enjoying my new bike. It has cool looks, everybody likes it. It's really easy to ride, it has great maneuverability and it's easy to brake, stop and stand on both feet at any moment, which is especially valuable in the crowded beech or park situation. Most importantly for me, I can fold it in seconds and put in the trunk of my car and then bring it to any place, unfold it in seconds and enjoy riding it with convenient shifting of 7 speeds. I also ride it around my neighborhood for exercise, small chores and just sheer pleasure. Thanks a lot!

Fantastic Value & Great Company All Around!
I was looking for a spare commuter bike for short hops near my home. I researched high and low all over the internet and in stores. What can I say - the quality of these bikes (and I bought the 'Value' model) - is simply amazing! For $200 I got a bike that easily compares with models from their competitors that are 3 times as expensive. It also came complete - water bottle, bike rack and carrying case! Each time I called them, pre and post sale, everyone was really great to deal with. They made me feel as though I was an old friend - completely comfortable. You just can't go wrong buying from them...

Worst purchase ever
I purchased a greenzone bike for my daughter who is attending college. I was in a hurry. I looked around and did not find any local store who sell folding bikes. Having seen great reviews, I decided to purchase one. There are other websites who advertise similar bikes for the same or lesser prices. Bike arrived in a double boxes. No damages to the boxes. However when we open the boxes, we found it was missing paint on several places on the frames (it appears they were chipped, you can easily see the bare metal) along with that their logo sticker itself "greenzone" was ripped. I took some pictures and emailed to them, I corresponded with a person by the name Allan, who said I should buy some paint and repaint the bike so it could look better. As for customer service these people are horrible. He emailed me saying during shipping bikes may get scratched. It is hard to believe, this type of damage is during shipping since both boxes that the bike came in were in great shape. I called them, and a person with an unfriendly voice said he suggest that I should correspond via emails. Since the initial email stating that I should repaint the bike, haven't heard from them again. I saw better looking bikes on Craigslist, however I wanted to purchase a new bike. That is why I bought from them.

Hello Neil, thanks for your comments. We double box all the bikes before we ship to better protect them. Did email your wife a few times after she sent us a couple of pictures showing the 2 chips and the G on the sticker being wrinkled about sending another sticker and paying for a small bottle of touchup paint to cover the 2 small chips after she said she wanted to keep the bike for her daughter to take to college. Customer service is our top priority and we always strive to make all of our customers very happy. Thanks alan

Great bikes, great service
We bought two. We're having a great time locally, and are looking forward to some car and trailer trips. How often we have been to a scenic area while driving, and wish we'd had bicycles to see the area better. Now we can, without bike racks on the back of the car. I had one minor issue with a pedal that was a little wobbly, and Alan immediately sent a replacement. I know we could have spent $1000 or more on a high end folder. But Why? I am MORE than pleased with the quality and value of the Greenzone bicycles. I've been reading up on folders for years, and we're glad we finally made the choice. We'll figure out how to post cool pics soon. Enjoy your rides, everyone.

Folding Bike!
I bought a folding bicycle from GreenZone for my husband as a gift. We live in a congested area by the beach and many times he has to park his car a distance from our apartment. He keeps the bike in the trunk of his car and he is able to just click it together and ride home. The bike is constructed to be very strong and sturdy and is easy to fold and unfold. The people at GreenZone were amazing and cooperative. I did not have any problems at all.

Everything I needed in a bicycle
I'm no newbie when it comes to folding bicycles as I've owned two 20" wheel folding models in the past. I did a few months of research looking for a reasonably priced full size folder and the search led me to Green Zone Bikes and 4 months in I can honestly say that I love my Premium Edition FS model bicycle. First off the assembly was very easy as it comes very well packaged and about 80% assembled. Took 10-20 minutes total to unpack and set up. I love that its alloy and only weighs 34 lbs as I was already used to carrying a 33 lb smaller bike. The folding mechanism is much simpler than I was accustomed to even with it being a bigger bicycle overall. The 21 speeds really come in handy because I'm not always on flat or downhill surfaces. I can get to about 16 mph in the highest gear on flat roads. The shocks are great for the off-road as well as city cycling as I'm usually flying off street curbs with no worries. To cut it short I love this bike and it's great that I have to get out and exercise to enjoy it because as much as I love looking at it I enjoy riding it MUCH more. If you want a full size folding bicycle that's reasonably priced and built to get you from point A to B get the FS model. You won't be disappointed!

Greenzone bike-Still going strong!
I purchased my greenzone bike about 3 years and it's still going strong! Living in NY I needed something convenient and easily transportable. It fits perfectly in my truck and leaves more than enough room for groceries. No need for an external bike rack to scratch up the car. It was a fantastic purchase...no regrets.

Hi Barbra, Glad you are enjoying your GZ bike. NY is a big market for us for people that use them for commuting. No need for bike rack like you mentioned. Thanks for the nice review. Alan

Fold up tandem
The quality of this bike far exceeded my expectations for the price. Communication with green zone is excellent. I received assembly instructions via email and with the bike. Assembly was a breeze even with modest knowledge of bike maintenance. We have limited space in our apartment. This tandem folds down shorter than my Trek road bike. Thank you Green Zone!

Hi Chuck, Glad you are enjoying your tandem. They are a lot of fun, I ride it with my wife quit often. Also fits on single bike rack, so easier to transport. Thanks for the review. alan

folding tandem- regret my purchase.
folding tandem- regret my purchase. First off the price can't be beaten- but you get what you pay for. On the second time we rode the bike one of the pedals broke and sent us crushing on the side of rode. When I contacted Greenzone they directed me to simply buy a new pedal. To be safe we got 4 new metal reinforced pedals for our brand new bike. During the rides there are all kinds of creaks. I am not sure if this is normal for a folding bike or if this is due to movement of the metal fenders but it is concerning. Almost every time we took it out the chain came off and my wife had to come to my rescue and put it back on. Also keep in mind that this is a relatively heavy city bike with 7 speeds, where I live there are a lot of hills and it can be very difficult to climb them even with both of us pedaling on the lowest gear; Alternatively biking on the highest gear doesn't get us going very fast. It is still fun to ride, if I had known about all these issues I would have probably opted for a more expensive folding tandem. I guess it is good if you are unsure whether you will use the bike a lot, just replace the pedals as soon as you get them.
Date of experience: June 25, 2017
Hi llia, sorry about the pedal, it might have gotten damaged during shipping. That is why we double box all our bikes before shipping, to better protect the bike. Not sure when you emailed us, If it was within the warranty period we would have sent a replacement pedal free of cost. These folding pedals are commonly used on many folding bike brands and are generally very strong and are also standard size pedals so can be easily replaced with any pedal. Sounds like The derailleur just needs to be adjusted and chain will be fine and stay on as well as the fenders which can be centered right over the tire and be fine. We ship these 7-speed folding tandems all over the country and people love them and have no problem navigating whatever hills or surfaces they encounter and really enjoy the independent pedaling feature. If you have any questions or still need a replacement pedal, please feel free to contact us. Thanks, Alan

Welcome to the fold(ing)
My Greenzone tandem has actually made cycling with my wife fun, for both of us, no really, it has. :) I am an avid cyclist brought up in an urban community, she came from farm country and rode horses in her youth. Our lives merged and she lives near the city with me now. For three decades she has tried to humor me and my cycling, riding her bike beside me on the path or gritting her teeth in traffic that frightened her. Our tandem bike has changed her view of riding dramatically. Now she initiates rides. She feels safe behind me on the road and today she played Pokemon Go behind my back while we rode down the bike path. Now I can enjoy riding with someone I love which is a pretty special thing for me. The independent pedaling feature has made tandem riding smooth for us. The Mrs. claims that this bike is the first on that she's ever been comfortable on. She likes the high handle bars and upright seating position as well. The bike folds to the same length or less than many of my other bikes though I haven't put it in the car yet. All of my dealings with Green zone have been through Alan, he has been very helpful and always quick to respond. We are really enjoying the tandem bicycle experience and have received numerous compliments on the bike. It has turned out to be an excellent purchase for us.

Hi David, Glad it works great for you and your wife. Our new tag line-- bringing couples together! My wife was the same way, now she loves getting on the back and acting like she is pedaling! She enjoys riding now. It will fit on a single bike rack also when folded so it makes it easier for us to take with us to the beach to ride on the seawall. Thanks for your kind words and tell all your friends. thanks alan

Professional People with Quality Products....Pure & Simple
.First heard about Greemzpme after seeomg a daytime-TV segment on youtube. Called company and inquired about their folding tandem bikes, which I couldn’t find anywhere else. They were very informative and most of all, especially patient with a novice like me. Bike arrived in NYC within 4 days, took it out of the box, easy re-assembly, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it came with the little bells and whistles of luxury bike, such a great seats, molded handlebar grips. Bike proved to be fugged, withstanding the abuse you’d expect from a novice rider. Evently, motorized the bike with a 500W 48V rear hub motor and now I’ve got the only folding tandlem ebike, as far as I know. Only thing on my wishlist is that they have a suspension on the tandem. Last, been so impressed with the product, I bould one of their 26-inch (FS) models and got a great quality bike that I expected.

Hello Chris, Yes the tandems are a lot of fun-- people always stop and check it out when I ride with my wife. Glad you like it and with the independent pedaling feature, even more fun. Appreciate your 2nd GZ purchase. Thanks for your kind words and business. thanks alan

Very nice folding tandem for the price
Original Review 10/28/17: Very nice bike for the price. Sturdy and the weight was not more than I expected for this type of bike. Assembly was easy. Step-over height is low which we appreciate. I decided to buy this folding tandem because I was concerned about how long a tandem bike would be on the back of a car. It also was hard to find overall dimensions of non-folding tandems. This tandem is about 92” long unfolded. After seeing it mounted on the back of our minivan, we probably did not need the folding feature, but it’s still nice to have, especially when mounted on our smaller car. It was a huge challenge figuring out how to mount it on our bike carrier, especially with the bike folded. The spokes were in the way, and the center of gravity of the bike was very high, making it want to flop over. Eventually I came across a bike adapter bar that’s usually used to make it easier to mount girls’ bikes. It was perfect for mounting the tandem. The feature that we like the most about this bike is the independent coasting feature. It makes it very easy to start and stop. GreenZone calls it an Independent Pedaling System on their website, but that is not really accurate, because both riders still have to pedal at the same speed for each rider to contribute to the pedaling effort. The other feature we really like is the high handlebars. The person on the back can see more than just the back of the front person (unless the front person is much taller). Note that the seats are a little closer together than some other tandems. We had to raise the front seat and move the front seat forward and the back seat rearward so that the back rider’s knees did not hit the handlebar. It would be more of a problem if the back rider was much taller than the front rider. We had just a couple of small quality problems. The back brake was sluggish and we could not get the front chain tight with the tensioner. GreenZone was very good working with us to resolve the problems. A suggestion for the future would be for GreenZone to change the front chain tensioner to a spring type tensioner vs. a manual adjustment. I am also considering changing the 7-speed gearset to a wider range to give more help on hills. The current gearset does not allow us to tackle more than just a pretty small hill. It’s not a big problem since we mostly do rail trails, but it’s not quite sufficient for much more than that. It’s an older style Shimano “freewheel” gearset (14,16,18,20,22,24,28), so choices are limited. The only wider range that Shimano still makes is a MegaGear that changes the largest gear from 28 tooth to 34 tooth, but that would make a large jump between gear 1 and 2. Other choice would be to replace the wheel with a wheel that has a newer style “cassette” such as the HG50. Update 8/26/18: One of the front folding pedals shattered at the pivot, so we had to walk it home. We aren't athletes, and we don't use the bike very often, so I was surprised that it shattered. Folding pedals don't really make it easier to transport the bike if you're transporting it using a bike carrier, so I replaced both front pedals with non-folding pedals, which should be stronger than folding pedals.

Independent pedaling system, smooth ride and easy to travel with!
We’ve tried numerous of tandems over the years, but none compare to a GreenZone tandem. An easy ride for my daughter and I. From riding in the neighborhood or loading it up to hit the paved trails for miles. I found it difficult to travel with any other tandem, but with this one I can fold it, put the seats down in my SUV and lay it in the back. If I don’t have other places to visit I have no problem putting it on my bike hitch. This bike has an independent pedaling system so it doesn’t matter if she pedals or not. Well pedaling will help, but she can take breaks. My daughter has autism and will never comprehend how to ride a bicycle. I can’t begin to explain how life altering this bicycle has been for us.

Hi Paulita, Glad you are enjoying your GZ tandem bike with your daughter. Much easier to transport since it folds up. Many in the special needs community really enjoy these tandems as you mentioned. Thanks for the nice remarks. Have fun riding with your daughter. Alan

My wife and I are vacationing in…
My wife and I are vacationing in Florida and one of the pedals on our GreenZone bike broke. I called the company, paid a small price for a replacement pedal, and then received the pedal all within four days. Excellent customer service! Love the two bikes we purchased three days ago. We were able to pack both bikes in the truck of our car and use them frequently here in Florida.
