    I don't really share too much of my personal life online but when I'm not playing games, filming videos or working, I've actually been doing a lot of bike riding! I bought this ZiZZO Urbano folding bike last year at the height of the pandemic and it turned out to be the best invest that I ever made. Do you have something that you use to get out more/clear your mind?

  • @draw1951
    @draw1951 3 года назад +14

    Like you, I bought a Zizzo and immediately fell in love with it. I’ve had racing and mountain bikes but the 20 inch wheels said “I’m having fun, forget the spandex.” My wife tried it and now loves her own Zizzo. The one change I made was switching to Schwalbe lower profile tires (less resistance) as 99% of my riding is on paved roads. Great video, Keep it up.

    I have a similar looking 20" 7 speed Enda bike I bought back in 2011 and it's still riding well. I would definitely recommend putting Schwalbe marathon tires on it, continental inner tubes, and ODI bmx style grips for confort.

  • @MegaAluchi

    It looks great and, it reminded me with my first bike in the 70's.
    I wonder how this compares with the Dahon?
    Also what is the difference between Zizzo models ?
    They have Urbano and Forte which supports up ton300lb but heavier frame (29lb)
    Thanks great review really and I like your accessories.

    Just FYI, i got 2 of zizzo folding bikes and managed to fit both of them in the trunk of my VW GTI mk7 without folding the rear car seats down. I had to stand them up and remove the hatch back trunk cover though, but they fit, just barely.

    The only thing I may change is a better more comfortable saddle.
    How much do you inflate your tires?
    Mine are 60 rear and 55 front, but somehow they feel too hard to the squeeze of my fingers.

    • @anocri
      @anocri 2 года назад +1

      You inflate it to the PSI mentioned on the sidewall of the tire. It is not the squeeze of your fingers that matter. Is the ride easier or are you pedaling harder to ride?

      @MegaAluchi 2 года назад +1

    • @anocri
      @anocri 2 года назад +3

      @@MegaAluchi Your pedaling is (and the bike performs) the best and easiest when you inflate the tire to the PSI on the tire sidewall; of course, on the assumption that you are doing the routine maintenance of the bike such as lubing, greasing. If you are filling in less air than the mentioned PSI, you are pedaling relatively harder. If you are filling in more air than the mentioned PSI, there is a greater chance of tire puncture when it hits something sharper (it's like you are trying to eat more than your stomach can take). My two cents.

  • @twentysevenand
    @twentysevenand 3 года назад +6

    I'm between the Urbano and the lighter Liberté. I'm curious how you landed on Urbano out of the Zizzo line.

    • @bikethetrails8155
      @bikethetrails8155 3 года назад +7

      I have both bikes, here's a synopsis I had written up already so here's a copy and paste answer....
      Here's a quick synopsis of the differences:
      1. The saddle (Urbano seat is much more comfy than the Liberte)
      2. The hand grips (once again the Urbano wins with a beefier handrest, Liberte has just light round grips).
      3. Bottom bracket (Liberte wins this one with an upgraded bottom bracket)
      4. Tires/Rims/Axles - Liberte has 1,5" high pressure tires with quick-release axles/hubs (lighter weight);
      Urbano has 1.9" tires with nutted axles/hubs (heavier weight)
      The frames are identical along with the Shimano Revo grip shifter, Shimano Altus derailleur, Promax brakes/cable/levers. chain, pedals are all the same.
      Liberte weighs 23 pounds but forfeits a comfy seat and hand grips and has narrower tires (good for pavement or hard pack trails)
      Urbano weighs 24 pounds but has a comfortable seat and grips, plus a wider tire that's heavier weight but offers more options on rough terrain.
      My opinion is I prefer the Urbano for it's comfort on the saddle and hand grips, also the wider tires is more forgiving on varied terrain (I've ridden extensively on dirt trails/paths/roads).
      I did have my Urbano bottom bracket bearings repacked (was making noise) earlier this year at the bike shop during my annual checkup, not a big expense. No other problems, just a cleaning, tune-up and derailleur adjustment is all I needed.
      Whoops, there was one other change I did on my Urbano, my tires were running thin and I replaced them with Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires 1.75"x20", I always replace all my bicycle tires with Marathon Plus and I've never had a flat in almost 20 years. I guess I just jinxed myself! I also added a pair of fenders (from Zizzo) and they have worked out quite nicely
      Last note, my wife rides the Liberte and she does like it a lot (we changed out the seat)
      Zizzo Urbano & Liberte are both nice bikes, going beyond the other models there is a quite a decrease in components (and frames) as the price decreases.

      @williamko4751 2 года назад +3

      He’s wrong about the climb issue. Not sure how that is possible but he is. Wheel size affects gears. Small wheel bikes climb like goats. They are wonderful on hills. Your gearing ratio will factor in like any bike no matter the size of the wheels. Nonetheless, small wheeled bikes are geared lower (easier) before you even factor that in. I have had many. This was a horrible review for that reason alone.
