What is the difference between this bike and this: Vilano Performance 700c-21 Speed Shimano Hybrid Flat Bar Commuter Road Bike, White, 58cm

This bike mostly has the same cheap components as the one I bought. The frame is similar but slightly different. It looks like this bike has better trigger shifters and a better rear deraileur. If so, it may be worth the difference in price. If you live near a large university and you can hold off until May or June, there are good deals to be had from students selling their bikes at the end of the school year.

I looked at the pictures of the Vilano bike and I can see where the difference in price is. It looks like you would pay more, and you will get more. I own the "Hybrid Performance Bike", and it is doing what I was wanting it to do.

This Performance brand uses caliper brakes (used on road bikes), while the Vilano Hybrid uses the much better, linear pull brakes (used on hybrids and mountain bikes). This Performance bike wont allow for a linear brake upgrade. But you can get the expensive dual-pivot caliper brakes that can match the performance of linear pull brakes.

Tire size (apart from brakes) is also different according to the description. This one uses 700x25c and the other uses 700x28c

The only difference that I can see is this frame has a name on it. And the frame on the bike I have has no frame. I believe it was made for shimano by the same people. All the equipment seems to be the same.

The bike is great, but as the others say, the center bar is high and heavy The Prodeco V3 has a shorter range and does not fold, if those are concerns. They still go a long way on a charge. There are several alternatives. Your leg length would be the deciding factor for this bike, but other Prodeco bikes come in folding and low bar style, if that is needed. Enjoy whatever you get.

It looked to me like they copy and pasted the description of the bike. I would go by the topic heading. If the single speed is your preference then disregard the description where it refers to 3 speed details. The description simply needs proof read. I received the exact bike as in the topic heading (sixthreezero Men's In The Barrel 3 speed bike). My topic made reference to having fenders. It did not. Again, this was another example of not proof reading the description. Regardless of the description, it is a great bike. I hope this helped. Have a great day!

In my experience they have about the same range. They both use the same motor and battery. The only difference is that the SS motor is factory set to run up to 28 mph. If you were to put both bikes on a flat surface and run them at max you would go a few miles further with the SS. But rarely do you run at full throttle all the time when riding normally. Kind Regards Jack

The difference between Italian and British threading on a Freewheel are insignificant. Though I assume that they are threaded for ISO threads which are also almost identical. The Freewheel I have on them presently is a Shimano which has ISO threads. I have been using these wheels on a general purpose bike for around town errands and the bike is a Schwinn Voyageur which is a heavy bike to begin with. Add to this that I have a handlebar basket and a heavy duty rear rack and saddlebags and have carried quite a bit of weight I am well pleased that these wheels are as straight and true as when I got them despite roads that are filled with potholes and cracks.

Hi, I found no difference whatsoever! I alternate between the 2 of them depending on which one is cheaper! Hope that helps! :)

I'm sorry, but I can't answer your question. I bought that bike as a gift for my grandson who lives in another state, and all I know is that he got it and he loves it!!

Hi Hungryman, others may correct me, but I've rode both and while the skinnier of the two *may* a wee bit faster I'd opt for the 700X25 for the greater handling and comfort. In fact, my evolution of being an enthusiast rider for 10+ years has led me to choose nothing skinnier than 700X28 tires -- on wheels big enough to accept them, of course. Forgive me pointing out the obvious, but the right tire for you also depends largely on your size, your bike, your level of experience and your kind of riding (commuting, going for speed or going for distance, pavement, gravel, etc.)

Yes. The difference between mountain and road pedals is in the shoes they are compatible with, not the bikes. Pedals are standard across all bike types.

Mine came with white. It's a remake of the old style though. Not actually a vintage bike. Though the first bike I received was purple with flowers and black tires! Amazon did good though and got it picked up and overnighted the right one since it was a present. I would ask the seller bc it seems to be inter-changeable for them.

hi, i dont know the difference but i bought twin sport and had to return. one of the front wheels did not stick to the ground. instead i bought citymini double stroller. light,fits into 99.99% of the doors, and fits perfectly into my accord's trunk and still a lot of room left.

It is better than those, quality is awesome. Only thing is to make sure you are buying the correct size I actually bought one for someone a little taller and it was my faultt for ordering wrong. If AI could get a fair price I would sell it and re buy the same bike that fit better, I love it

Mainly asthetics. Both are 2x1 activation and Shimano compatable. Should be interchangeable.

The best way to find all the differences is to go to Yamaha's site and download the user manual. It is for both models and you will see the features that one has versus the other.
