Zike Sabre Hybrid Bike - is it for Adults also? All of the reviews mention young kids enjoying this bike. Is a good workout for an adult or is it just built for younger kids?

How do you transport a Zike? Does it fit on a car's bicycle rack? Fold up to fit in the trunk or hatch?

The Zike website says:Are there adult models?Currently all Zike models are designed for children, however the Saber has a weight limit of 200 lbs (91 kg) and is large enough to support adults 200 pounds or lower. A full line of Zikes for adults will be available in the future; follow us at facebook.com/getziked and twitter.com/getziked for updates.http://zike.net/qa.html

I am an adult female under 200lbs - I'm 5' 5" and I have absolutely no trouble riding the Zike Sabre; it's completely comfortable and doesn't feel or look too small. It is however a tough workout for the lower body!!!

saber is the only adult model .Zikes specs say up to 200 lbs , another site said 250 lbs

I am an adult and under 200 lbs. However, I'm 5'8". Would this be too short for me or are the handlebars able to be raised?

This is definitely a youth bike. Young teen at the most. Too small for an adult.

Hi Susie, I personally thought this was a great bike for my grandson who was five at the time of purchase. Remember it's a glide and does not have wheels. My grandson loved the bike but preferred the wheels. It is an EXCELLENT 1st bike for little guys. If you have not watched the video please do so. It is great for teaching balance and can not me any easier to put together, 5min. Best of wishes with your decision. Enjoy! Donna K

Get one and see how they like it first. It's an amazing bike. You could always buy another, they learn so quick on it! The older child might be ready for the real bike after a summer.

I would recommend a higher end bike for competition. This is a good starter bike and it is great for exercise or recreation, but it is simply not on par with Shimano or Fuji. It will do in a pinch, but I is not ideal.

It is a very nice trail bike but not for professional purpose. Don't push so hard. It goes ok for jumps and rocks as well but again, not in professional use. I am very satisfied that effect.

The adults like it in our family. The more you weigh the easier it is. I would recommend it for a 12yo boy as long as they are good at physical coordination tasks.

I have a 7 yr. old and he was a bit hesitant at first. I showed him the video of how to ride it and he worked on it for a couple days and was able to do it. Not as a professional mind you, but he was proud of himself and really liked it. He is pretty athletic though so it may be a bit challenging for kids who are not athletically inclined. I will say it didn't hold his attention for very long.

Adult Ladies Bike, great bike bought it for my Fiance. Carries a baby trailer great especially with the 7 Speeds and is very comfortable.

It's a small little bike designed for a toddler. That being said, my 7 and 9 yr olds ride around on it and have just as much fun! (My kids are on the smaller side) You might get it and think it's much too small but find that it can just as easily be played with. Hope that helps!

Yes, it is a good bike. I bought it for my son who is over 300lbs and he is over 6'tall. It does work for him and he is happy with it.I hope this helps. It seemed to be as pictured.Thanks, Audrey

I am not a child, but I do have the bicycle.. I am 5 ft 1 in and unable to ride an adult bike because my legs are very short due to rickets as a child. My balance is also not that good. My husband has my seat adjusted and replaced the original seat with one that was wider for more balance and comfort. Make sure you have the right air in the tires..it makes it much easier to pedal. She would have to be able to pull the brakes that are on the handle bar, but it has no gears and rides very smooth. I wish we lived close by so she could try mine. I think maybe she could master this bike. It has been a joy to me since I also cannot master a two wheeler. Good luck and God Bless..

No. Based on what I saw with my two kids, multiple neighborhood kids, and visiting cousins, no kid can "ride" this bike. It is low, awkward, uncomfortable, un-ergonomic, etc. It looks cool, so kids will be excited to sit on it. Aftwr two minutes (MAX) attempting and failing to find a way to have fun with it, they'll get off and never get back on. Buy a different balance bike, or better yet, stick with a good tricycle until it's time for a bike with training wheels. Learning to pedal is more important at this age anyway.

I'm not sure, but this bike is not for someone who uses training wheels. It is so well-made and adorable, but not easy for a beginner to ride. My almost 7 year old daughter, who is quite tall for her age, has been riding without training wheels for a year and she needed some time to learn how to ride this one. The handle bars are big and far away which makes it tricky to control and steer until you're comfortable on it. She is barely able to reach the ground with tip toes. For the right age and ability, this bike is the best!

Joan this is a low level bike the tension is very weak.. You will out grow this bike in 30 days. My wife use it while watching television she likes it. If you are a seriously athletic person spend a little more money for a better bike !!!!
