not recommended
By M. Horiuchi
I purchased this bike the last September to commute to school and the break pads wore down in a few months. Both front and rear breaks do not work now. In addition to non stoping performance, the right pedal came off. So I went to the bike shop, hoping to get repaired. However, the guy at the bike shop told me that I was the 3rd customer with the same problem. The replacement for the bike pedal attachment part has to be imported from China and there is nowhere that makes the same part in America. Now the right pedal is useless and nonfixable in America, I cannot use the bike and I have no choice but to throw away. "Kawasaki" is just a sticker that was put on the body.
Please do not waste your money on this cheaper bike. I would recommend that anyone should invest in a nicer bike.

$99.99 for more features
By Dwight
Bikes sell used on craigslist for this price and of all the $99.99 bikes on sale, this one had the most options. You will need screwdrivers, adjustable wrenches and hexagonal allen wrench to assemble.

Works for me.
By C. Sedlock
I may be speaking from inexperience as this was my first mountain bike, but so far the bike has done it's most important function: gotten me where I need to go for very very cheap. I bought this bike a year ago and these are the problems I had:
1. Missing part--
This was annoying but lucikly the bike shop was in love with the my green kawaski-- especially the rims! I got the part fixed and replaced, they helped me finish my bike, $10
2. Fast wearing break pads-
I almost hit a bus. Maybe it's the bike's fault, it also could be me because these things seem to happen to me alot, the breaks went out in just a few weeks. Got those replaced and after a few months I need them again--- new break pads when put on yourself only cost $10 a set.
3. Gears that only shift when I manually move the chain
This gets on my nerves. I manually have to shift to go up hills, the gears do work when shifting to go down.

Overall though I have explored my city from a whole new (better) perspective, bike to work and school, bike through the mountain bike trails, and NEVER have to pay for gas and get a really good workout, so this bike has a close place in my heart.

Total cost:

Bike $120
Replace part: $10
Lock $40
Breaks: $20

Total: $190
