    You can adjust the bars from the screw under the folding mecanism of the steering columna. There is a big screw. I have 2 foldable bikes and on both the screw for adjusting that and wobble is in there(inside)

    Great video, I am a fan of Macwheel bikes and bought their 26” cruiser. I had a small issue and emailed the company they are very responsive and answered my question within a day. Anyone looking for a decent bike at an entry level price should give them a try.

      Thinking of getting a bigger one since the small ones tend to go slower without assist? What do u think? Want to use to go on long bike paths

    You are correct that the handlebars are not perpendicular to the front wheel and it Cannot be corrected or Fixed because it's all welded together. Mine is the same.

      Not correct Paul.
      If you fold your handlebars down, you will see a stem bolt that uses a 6 mm allen wrench.

    I’ve never seen a bike in my life that the front wheels not perpendicular with the handlebars you have to adjust it, every bike in the world has an adjustment 🤦‍♂️

    • @RK9Rides
      @RK9Rides  3 года назад +1

      This isn't exactly a normal bike. There is no standard stem or anything else to adjust to straighten out the bars.

      @JerseyStyle7 3 года назад +1

      @@RK9Rides Inside the front tube there’s always an adjustment but if you want to do it the easy way put the tire between your two legs and adjust the handlebars that way

    • @rickc7303
      @rickc7303 3 года назад

      Every bike I ever had in my life has always needed a little "tweek" to make it perfectly perpendicular regarding the handlebars. Just like you mentioned below the best remedy is to put the bike in a "north" facing situation, and then to stand over the front wheel while facing south. Put the front tire between either your knees or calfs and gently twist the handlebar to achieve the perfect position of the wheel/handlebar. Actually it is very common and quite simple.

    I can’t imagine riding any bicycle with skewed handlebars that are not perpendicular.
    That would be a deal breaker, for sure.

    i dont trust their website. Why is it there are no reviews that are 3 and lower?

    • @RK9Rides
      @RK9Rides  3 года назад +3

      Because nearly every company in this industry pumps their website with fake reviews to make their product seem good. It's a real issue even with well-known brands. Lots of brands delete bad reviews as well. It's a shady practice that is hard to prevent. My aim is to review a product honestly so that you don't have to try and figure out which reviews are real.

    🤔not bad, it’s too bad top speed wasn’t 20 mph, 15 mph is ridiculous 👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

    • @KiwiMark67
      @KiwiMark67 3 года назад

      It may seem ridiculous to you, but there are many countries where 25kph (~15mph) is the maximum speed an e-bike is allowed to assist to. I don't live in one of those countries and I'd likely spend more to have more power & speed - but for those that want a cheaper option and live somewhere like the UK then this might be a reasonable option.
      My preference would be a good bike with suspension and then buy an E-Bike kit, maybe 750W or 1000W mid-drive with throttle and no limit on speed. This wouldn't be legal where I live (here it is max 300W, but no speed limit), but no one ever stops e-bikes to check their power output. I know someone that added a 1000W kit to a fat-wheel bike and it goes really well. The e-bike kit alone would be more expensive than the bike in this review though.

      If you install 16 x 2.25 or 2.35 tires, you will achieve 17 to 18 miles per hour.
