HuffyPanama Jack Beach Cruiser Bike with Lightweight Aluminum

Easy to assemble and rides smooth. Front fender had a small dent but it popped right out. Fairly lightweight given the size of the bike.Cooler was tough to put onto the handlebars. The bar for the cooler is a snug fit into the clasp.Overall looks great and turns heads

So glad I ordered this bike! It took almost 3 months to get but well worth it. My Husband put it together and it was easy to assemble. Nothing was scratched or broken and there were no pieces missing. Very well packaged. It looks even better in person as I was afraid it would look "tacky" but it is pretty sweet. Easy to peddle, very comfortable seat and rides smooth with great coasting. I have chronic back pain and other health problems and I sit up with no discomfort anywhere. Very happy!

I'm a mid-30s female, started 2020 at 240lbs, have since gained another 40 over the course of a year. I have a road bike but the lighter frame and tires only the width of a dime I felt like I was going to make it collapse. So I wanted something with a sturdier frame and wider wheels and one where I could sit more upright, hence I started looking at cruisers. This is one of the few that has all the features I was looking for-hand pull brakes (NOT a pedal brake)-7-speed-wide solid frame-wide tires-upright position-wide comfy seat-rear cargo carrier-front basketAfter having it 3 weeks one probably gone around 15 miles total on it, and some.od the features I wasnt looking for but absolutely love:-soft padded handle grips that come in a woodgrain pattern-handle bars are wide but not at wide as some other cruisers I've ridden where wide handlebars make turning difficult AMD awkward-fenders kept pants from getting totally wet and muddy if the weather is bad-reflector on rear fender-springs on the seat-make riding over a pothole less painful!-IT HAS A CUPHOLDER! AND A BOTTLE OPENER! Mostly excited about the cupholder, it's nice to take a short leisurely ride and sip a glass of sweet tea-white frame-while I was hoping for a more colorful frame, turns out the white makes you more visible at nightCons:Putting it together was difficult but not impossible, however mine had an issue with shifting smoothly between gears so I took it into REI and they were able to fix it and show me some.other things that would have helped when I was putting it together. Even if you put it together yourself I'd recommend taking it in after 50 miles or so.-Won't fit traditional bike carriers like the ones that hook into the trailer hitch and the bike rests on bars that go through the frame-To do use it with an upright carrier on a car with a roof rack, when you remove the front wheel you must also remove the fender-the basket is small and the leather straps holding it to the bike are cheap, ove already ordered a different basket, there are a ton of optionsOverall I am so pleased with this bike! I'm getting out of the house every day, losing about 4 lbs a week and saving on gas $$ because I can bike to the grocery store!It's just a sturdy, fun, good bike!

No issues. Easy to put together. Daughter loves it.

Assembly:The seat post is short and the tube you slide it into is long. If you lose your grip on the seat post, it slides down and gets jammed. This is VERY easy to design around by putting a little dimple in the seat post or a dimple in the seat post receiver. TIP: Put a rubber band around the seat post while you are making adjustments so that you can make adjustments to the seat without risking your seat post dropping into the tube. If your seat post drops into the tube, use 2 rubber mallets (or hammer and wood block) and tap on the bottom of the tube (where the serial numbers are) and the side of the tube (lightly on the side). The seat post is my biggest complaint. It's so easy to avoid this headache and they didn't bother.The cooler in the front is poorly designed. The hooks don't fit the cooler and the cooler has to be hammered into place. But it's really just a gimmick, I keep the allen key and a few drinks in there.The cup holder is shown in the video as being near the handles. Don't do this, there is too much movement. Put the cup holder as close to the center as possible to minimize jostle. It's pretty deep and it hold cans reasonably well.Brakes are pretty out of whack but this is pretty common for all mail order bikes, go to a bike shop if you want a well tuned bike. Expect to pay more than $300. The brakes are adjustable so you can tune it yourself with 5 minutes of youtubing.Comfort:Once you manage to get the seat at the right height and angle for your comfort, the seat itself is very generous and comfortable without dropping the seat post into the tube. I don't know how long it will stay this way but the first ride was extremely easy on the backside.Everything is adjustable from the seat height and angle to the handlebar angle and brake positioning. The handles are a soft squishy foam material that gives you a good grip without rubbing your palms into callouses.Sturdiness:You will notice during assembly that everything seems a little flimsy and shoddy. Well, it's a $300 bike, if you are putting this together during a pandemic, you are probably lucky to have a bike at all. The frame itself is plenty sturdy (and heavy), the shake seems to be coming from all the extra bells and whistles like the back rack, the fenders, the gear covers, the cooler, the cup holder, etc. If you strip it down the bike itself is pretty sturdy (and did i mention heavy)The weight of the bike is not a huge deal because you have 6 gears to work with.You're not going to win a lot of races or go off-road but overall, it seems like good value for the money.YMMV.
