We Ride The Worst Reviewed Bike On Amazon | How Bad Can It Be?

Where would you go to buy a bike? Your local bike shop? An online bike retailer? But surely not Amazon? We searched all over Amazon for the worst-reviewed bikes just to see how bad they can really get. Neil puts this bike through its paces to see if the claims such as ‘high carbon steel’ and ‘safe and reliable travel’ are actually true.

I work in a bike shop part time and you’d be surprised of how many people buy E-Bikes of similar quality and get mad at us when we say we can’t really fix them.

[edgeofsanitysevensix]

Selling bikes like these should be illegal. It's only a matter of time before someone gets seriously hurt

[KuroSanArts]

Gotta say i'm impressed with the 4 way rear suspension technology that goes up and down and side to side! LOL

I wonder how this fella from the reviews got on ... Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 October 2023
Colour Name: Red
So this bike has been pushing my limits to the max. Slowly building up riding more and more insane trials. Going to fort William soon to try the world champs track will report back soon

Brave man Neil, that thing looks like an absolute death trap.

[sapinva]

I don't think Neil tested that thing properly. Stair set of doom, back flip, 8 ft drop to flat, drift until the rims fold in half. May as well get your 500 lbs worth of fun out of it.

Taiwan is known for producing some of the world's best bikes for some of the world's biggest bike companies. Then you get this junk just across the Strait on the mainland. Typical Amazon junk.

Can't wait to put some "Shihongs" on my pure Dh-bike 😂

[fastfiddler]

I recently got a warning from Amazon for a semi colorful review (no swearing). I said I'd be coming after them for selling me a scam of a product. I guess that was too threatening. But it shows a lot of nerve that Amazon allows the vast majority of their products to be like this. I generally do not buy anything safety related on Amazon anymore unless it's a major brand that is sold elsewhere. This includes things like bikes, electrical, electronic, etc. That fork is poised to kill someone if they really push it.

[arnaudFbr]

they just put all the features that usually "look cool" on a bike from a non mountain biker's point of view. double crown fork, full sus, especially a coil shock, disc brakes and fat tires

[garyshell]

Those riding shots should be in the Amazon listing next week. 😁

[GNerdful]

the long name is because they just translated the Chinese name. Sellers on Taobao just put as many keywords as possible into the "name" of the product
Edit: I found this exact bike on Taobao for 638 rmb which is about 72 pounds

[friendlypete]

Wonder how many of these end up with diy electric kits on them doing 50mph on delivery reviews

[TheButlerNZ]

I'm sure I have a Kettle made by the same people...
This is the description in the instructions...

Made of high quality stainless steel material seiko produced but become, have the corrosion resistance, health and durable, high brightness, bolling automatic sound sound told, bright beautiful colour, multiple color, a variety of choice. Modelling elegant, thick and tough, durability, safety Fang very hot, the exclusive kitchen design, best manufacture, high thermal storage, higher energy efficiency, energy saving and healthy.

I chose it because it came with a Safety Fang!

Then there was my Toyota MR2 ... and the floor mats say... "A man in dandism. New rich & sports.”... I kid you not!

I have seen people riding those bike on my commute to work. They look cheap and from what I could tell everyone of those bikes were making a huge amount of noise after about 2 weeks of riding and disappeared after 4 weeks.

[mike]

This is the bike you buy and stick on the side of your house so the theives don't take your real bike 😂

[seansamurai]

I'd be ruined if I paid 550 quid on that. You could actually get something far better from halfords, and thats saying something

[nukedathlonman]

27kg - that's about 60lbs - I think the weight weenies just got crushed. 🤣 Well, at least it has monster truck tires (err, tyres) to match the monster truck weight.

[friedshrimp]

Amazon has become your local chinese market basically. i bought a hardtail for £80, shimano gears, disc brakes, did some cleaning and it runs like butter.

[jonathangodfrey]

I love these videos, who else loves seeing cheap bike abuse 😂
