Costco Reviews

I bought the boy and girl versions of this bike from my new favorite Costco in Irvine. The two bikes barely fit in the trunk of my SUV, but I managed it.

These comfort bikes are somewhere between a cruiser and a mountain bike. I originally wanted a cruiser, but I like the flexibility of some off-roading if ever I want to go on a whim. There are 21 speeds, seven speeds (adjustable on the right handle) for each of the three main shifters (adjustable on the left handle).

We took them out for a test run around the neighborhood and had a great time. The bike's construction is solid and I like how the suspension absorbs the bumps gracefully. At first, the women's seat feels slightly too high, but once you get on and get used to it, it feels a little more normal. They recommend a minimum height of 62 inches on the women's bike. The seat height is adjustable, but any one shorter than 62 inches will have trouble getting on and off.

I tried searching for this model online and I can't find it anywhere, not even on the Schwinn website. I think it may be specially made for Costco.



After riding it for about 30 minutes, I can recommend this bike as a cruiser bike. I haven't tested the mountain-bikeyness yet, but for cruisin' it gets a four spokes out of 5 spokes rating.

Update: It's on their website now. Click here to see the girl version, and click here for the boy bike.
