Zike Sabre Hybrid Bike - is it for Adults also? Is a good workout for an adult or is it just built for younger kids?

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 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.

I bought this bike for my 10 year old last spring, and it works well for her. It is her first bike with gears. It is well built and sturdy without being too heavy. She is now 58" tall, but I think it would work for someone who is 55".

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

Never tried the Strider but, My 2 yr old and my 4 yr old both use the foot rest. They run and once they are going fast enough they put their feet up on the rest and cruise around. Very good balance bike. Inside of 3 weeks of riding the Kazam my 4 yr old asked me to take the training wheels off of her "big girl" bike. She rides both like a champ hasn't looked back for the training wheels at all.

It is heavy equipment and more for adults I would think. They are considered professional clubs. I would start off with a lighter or smaller set.. But still, these are great. I just believe they are are better suited for adults. Good Luck!

It's small but my 14-year old who is very good on the board can at least hit it at a speed that will allow a jump. It wouldn't bear an adult on a bike very well.

I bought two for my grand-kids (3 and 4) who are fairly healthy but they've quickly outgrown them. They're great for kids to get over their initial fear of 2-wheel bikes since their legs act as bike stands. They're definitely too small for a normal 5 year old - the seat can only be safely adjusted to 18" off ground. However, they're very sturdy - could easily handle adult weight. Hope this helps.

An adult could ride this. I think it would be a little dangerous for a child because it takes coordination to ride, & attention to stop. That being said, It's not a "flyer" as far as I'm concerned. It's definitely a workout, but not fast. I wish I wouldn't have purchased it.

This is very much an adult tryke; I found out about it because I saw other adults riding theirs. So far, I haven't seeing children riding it. I can't imagine an eight year old on one, and most of my bike riding, adult friends have a hard riding mine!!! Hope that helps.

I own the diamond back and I'm a big fan. It's not quite as nice as trek or specialized but then again it's much cheaper and I have had no issues. I've done a couple fifty mile rides on it and it was more than capable of handling the load. Really good starter hybrid bike

Bought it for my son (9) and daughter (13) it is a perfect bike for someone just learning to ride. I would recommend to anyone interested in purchasing a bike. Its easy to put together, the only assembly required was installing handlebars and adding gas and oil which does not have to be mixed.

It has been a while since I ordered and returned this item. I ordered it for my wife because of back surgeries and "weak legs", but she didn't get to try it since it was the wrong model. Some of the reviews at the time of ordering complained about it being one speed and therefore making it difficult to pedal on hills and inclines. Depending on your child's age it could be a good way to strengthen her legs. Being a retired spec. Ed. teacher, I know this type of exercise is important, but I don't know her particular circumstances. If she has a physical therapist, they would be the best to give advice. Hope this helps.

' not sure about the bike you've been using at the gym. I used the bikes at the gym for about 6 years. About a year ago we moved to southern Arizona. There isn't a gym that has spinning within 50 miles. I was very Reluctant to buy a bike for home. This bike has been great. It's solid, easy to put together ( a little patience and 45 minutes ), and so far works well. I'm happy with it... I'm sweating and getting a good work out again. My recommendation... Get it.

Yes I would recommend it. I gave it to my five year old and he transferred his skills to a regular bike without training wheels in 2 months!

Could work ok for a beginner. Wouldn't take long for a 12 year old to learn the basics and be ready for some real power. I would save my money and get a used Japanese bike or possibly a 125 pit bike
