TakaraYuugen Single Speed Flat Bar Fixie Road Bike, 700c, Large, Green

First thing I noticed when the bike arrived, was it’s nice and light. I opted out of the assembly because if it came when I was at work fully built, It probably would get stolen. Basically they take care of the more difficult stuff for you, the sprocket is already mounted and the crank arms, along which the back wheel and chain the whole assembly is together and everything was tight, brakes and cables were already ran all I had to do was hook one cable up to the lever itself, they had to disconnect one for shipping purposes. So basically all I had to do was mount the handlebars, front tire, and seat. And tighten down the reflectors, brake levers, and attach the pedals to the crank arms. Difficulty level like a 2. I Took it out tonight after work, Went on a 10 mile ride. I have good cardio, but I haven’t worked out for about a month no cardio no nothing. I was able to maintain a 17 mph pace for my ride which i was happy with I guess , but being my first single speed bike I pretty much feel like that’s about maxed out for that gearing it’s not hard on the legs at all the way it is geared now....but I do wish it was geared a little different I would like to be able to maintain a 20 MPH pace but I just one really hard gear which is why I wanted a single speed. All in all it’s a great commuter, like I said I’ve not been doing much this past month and I still was able to average 17mph but I had to give it the beans to maintain that speed. But it is quick it’s pretty comfortable, The seat is actually not bad at all. All in all I’m really happy with this purchase, it’s got nice speed and a very easy gear to ride.

For the price I expected possibly scratches and wheels out of true and similar issues. It was worse. This purchase was a total waste of money. Missing seat and front brake weren’t expected but something I could accept. However, the extremely bent frame and rims actually make this bike dangerous to ride. It arrived double boxed and I could see why. The original box was completely destroyed. If I had seen the condition of the original box I never would have accepted the package. Now I’m faced with trying to box this mess up and send it back or just taking the loss as a lesson learned. I’m leaning towards the latter.

This bicycle is what I was looking for. Low price, single speed, light weight. Some parts could be better, but remember, this is a bicycle in a budget. Mostly used in urban environment I had to go "off road" with minimum issues. Perfect to carry on a bicycle rack in a small car or simple to tie it up in a public place while going to work. I'm a big guy and feel comfortable on it. Of course is not the best bicycle in the market, but it is absolutely great for the price paid.

I have been riding this bike for a year, and it works out great for me. The only change I made to the bike was to replace the rear sprocket with one that would help me climb hills more easily, and the pedals that have more grip to them. I will definitely buy another one in the future.

When the bike arrived there was no seat post clamp in the box, so I had to go to three different bike shops to find one. Besides that it’s a pretty good bike.

Looks great and easy to ride

This bike is horrible. It was a decent and easy assembly but the tires can't handle even just a regular paved path. Got a couple flats in just a few weeks. I have a nice pump that I take with me but now the latest flat seems to be the cause of a small hole in the tire. Not to mention the frame squeaks and the brakes are low quality and sticky. I had a few decent rides on this thing, but it's hard to enjoy when you know at any minute you could get a flat. Riding 5 miles with a flat is not fun. I'd give it 1 star but it's getting two because the moments where this bike functioned as it should was very nice and the seat isn't too bad... Time to make like my 3rd trip to a repair shop in the middle of a pandemic. Fml...

Within one week, the valve stem came off and I had to buy a new tube.Within 2 months, it no longer worked as a fixie. It was stripped and no matter how it was tightened, pedaling did not move the wheel. I had to switch it from being a fixie to a single-speed. I didn't want a single-speed, as you can buy them used where I am for about $25 each.Cheap, Chinese bike. It's not worth the price at all.The best part is that the ugly brand stickers come off easy, leaving a nice, beautiful green. If you just wanted the frame and nothing else, it might be worth it. The pedals are cheap junk and the screws in the frame rusted almost immediately.
