ZiZZO Urbano 26lb Lightest Aluminum Frame Genuine Shimano 8-Speed 20-Inch Folding Bike

I’ve been riding bicycles a long time, and this is my third folding bike. I’ve had a Dahon, Giant and now this Zizzo Urbano. This is by far the fastest, most comfortable of the three. It’s light, it’s durable and easy to fold and unfold. The unboxing, and set up from the durable box it was delivered in was smooth and took all of 15 minutes because I took my time not to scratch or damage anything. Guys this bike didn’t have a scratch on it and was packed to perfection. I am not sponsored by Zizzo, nor do I work for them or any way affiliated. In fact, I accidentally peeled of the sticker that says, void on the handlebar. I’m assuming I no longer have a warranty, but that’s ok. I know the bike feels like a quality made bike. The gears shift smoothly and I know I’ll have plenty of bike packing and long range bike adventures on this. Hope this helps! If you’re on the fence, just buy it!

I'm nearly 78 years old and wanted a bike I could put in our car's trunk and use some distance from home. This bike is that.The bike arrived very well assembled. I checked all of the nuts and screws and almost all were appropriately tight.As expected the tires did need air. Because one inner tube valve stem was exiting the rim on an angle, I deflated that tube and reinflated it while holding the valve stem in place.Importantly, I wanted to pedal the bike in an upright, comfort position. As this bike uses standard components I was able to find: a set of high rise handlebars to reduce the distance (reach) from the saddle's center to where I grasped the handlebars, a more comfortable seat, and (from Zizzo) a longer seat post and fenders.Also, because I have pedal-pad atrophy I wanted to reduce the force on the bikes pedals. So, I had my local bike shop replace the front chain ring with a 34-tooth ring. I also replaced the folding pedals with mountain bike pedals and removed their pins and added zip ties so I could pull the pedals up rather than push them down and, thereby, reduce the pressure on my forefeet where the fat is gone.The bike is quite nimble and the 34-tooth ring allows me, without hurting my feet, to climb hills easily as well to shift into higher gears for traveling on level surfaces.ZiZZO has a help group on Facebook for discussing their bikes and has produced videos showing riders how to fix the most common issues. Their customer service is excellent too.I am very happy with this bike and ZiZZO!

If you are shopping for a foldy bike, don't go bargain hunting. I learned that lesson. Bought a foldy bike for a bit over $100 and within 3 months the chain ring was warped, the brakes were shot, the pedals broke, and the thing creaked like a haunted house. Zizzo feels like a quiet dream compared to that. Really light weight. Folds and snaps back together in just a few seconds. Tires keep their pressure for a long time. So far everything on this bike is solid.

Light very nice

I bought this several months ago. Rode it for the first time Saturday on 5/13. Immediately I knew something was wrong. The bike kept squawking every time the bike moves forward. It's the noise it makes when you brake. Kind of like the rubber chicken. It'll have mini brakes as you're riding so the whole time a loud obnoxious squawk will periodically sound. I took it to a local bike shop and they said the brake in the front wheel was too close together and was pinching. Not really sure what that means as I'm not a bike mechanic but it's the front wire with the screws that loops over the front wheel. He unscrewed the front and adjusted the brake and redid it with a wider gap and it was fine afterwards. Overall the bike was good. About 25lbs, easy to carry for short distances. I can lift it with 1 hand. Couldn't really find a good place to grip though so I just grab whatever I can reach if I need to lug it around. Brakes are good at stopping (squawking not included), and the handlebars are easy to navigate. Overall a good ride but mine came needing maintenance out the box apparently and costed me extra money which I am not happy about.

Good quality for the money. No adjustments needed out of the box. Shifts and brakes better than expected for a $429 bike. However, it's not 24lbs as described. Mine weighs 25.7lb (11.7kg). It's plenty light enough for a cheap commuter bike that I'll be dragging up onto the bus. BUT it's not 24lbs as described.

These Zizzo bikes are amazing. With practice, they pack small - 2 can easily fit in the trunk of an SUV, comfortable ride, and good components. They can be ridden by both kids (about 8y and older) as well as adults, which makes them perfect for trips. The lighter weight Urbano is nice, at 23lbs, easy to move.

We are city dwellers without a garage, and honestly we’ve never biked a lot, but I’d been wanting to bike more and was really hoping these new folding bikes would solve our bike storage issues while also fitting easily into the car for trips to the country. I didn’t use it much last fall because I was waiting for my spouse to get one too, but this spring/summer we’ve been using them all over NYC and the lower Hudson Valley. It’s tiny and sturdy and I’ve taken it in the car and on subways and can stash it in corners where a full size bike couldn’t go. This morning we were finishing up a short trip to the Hudson valley, and it has been raining a lot, and there were still more thunderstorms looming, but we were able to squeeze in 10 miles on the Empire State bike trail, which was a way better use of that short rain-free window than we would otherwise have found (would have been too short a window for a decent hike). We are having so much fun, this bike is absolutely one of my favorite pieces of gear.
