Bottom Line:
I am loving this bike its really plush even with a 500lbs spring ( I weight 55kg ) it pedals uphill quite well, all you need is strenght in your legs!
In spite of the weight it is really maneuvrabel and short, so it's very easy to handle it. It's a natural jumper and will huck everything you'll throw it at!
I would buy it all over again!
