ZiZZO Folding bike Reviews

I was very happy to find that my new Liberte, although refurbished, was in perfect condition. The packaging used for shipping is excellent. No adjustments were necessary and I only had to add some air to the tires to be ready to ride. Build quality is excellent! It's early February in snowy Wisconsin, so I'm anxious for the snow to melt to go biking. I plan to load the Liberte in the Cessna 150 airplane that I fly so I can explore new areas by air and by bike -- the best of both worlds! Th...

After unpackaging my Forte I found no defects in workmanship or any damage in transit. After unfolding it (rather easy) and taking it for a ride I did find that the handlebar was very slightly misaligned with the rotational axis of the front wheel, but that was very easily corrected after getting friendly phone advice from Tony at Zizzo. I am a large man, but the Forte feels very solid and stiff under me while riding. The Shimano shifter works flawlessly. High quality is evident in this prod...

The Urban that I just purchased exceeded my expectations. It is a high quality bike that, in spite of its compact size rides like a big bike. Very stable and capable of handling hills with no problem. Liked it well enough to order a second one for my wife. We plan on carrying them in the RV.

I am 81 years young. I have been riding Trek bikes. Planning to RV to Alaska next summer from Naples FL. Wanted a folding bike for lots of reasons. Bought an E folding bike, too heavy, too complicated, no exercise. Sold it without using it. Sought a light weight folding bike. Chose the Zizzo Urbano. Slight noise by front brake. Called Tony. Suggested a fix by phone. It worked. My conclusion: a great bike at a most reasonable cost and light weight. I will be converting the shipping box in...

The bike is great and sleek. I wish it was a little lighter but i can still manage carry it up my 5th floor walkup with one arm. 😁The saddle on other hand is not that comfortable could use some adjustments.🤙🏽

So far so good, I have used it twice so far. I was concerned about the seat shaft touching the ground when folded. If it were to get banged up, the seat would not be able to fully rise. I bought a rubber furniture foot protector to put on the end when folded and it has worked out great. My next project is to make a canvas 'bag' to protect the hinges from debris when folded since that also seems like a weak point. I love the adjustability aspect. I had the seat fairly high, got to a steep hill, l...

I really like the Liberte. It’s easy to fold and very light. I haven’t had much weather for riding, but am looking forward to some quality time with my new toy.

Arrived quickly and it was carefully packed. Watching videos before it arrived was helpful. Easy to use and do the safety checks. First ride on a bike trail today and all went well. I bought this foldable so I could haul it in my Rav4 with a friends 3 wheeler. Fits perfectly. It is also easy for this senior citizen to pick up. I admit it is a bit of a different ride than my full size bike, but I am adjusting to it. Very sturdy.

This is everything I’ve ever ever wanted in a bike. When folded, it fits in my VW Golf just fine. I’m very impressed with the max payload of 300lbs as myself alone is around 215lbs and that’s before you start adding more weight to the bike like FDP bags and other accessories. I can ride to work on nice days and simply fold it up (which takes me 20-40 seconds) and store it in the building. Expensive and heavy bike locks/general worries of theft are practically nonexistent as wherever you go, you...

We live in a condo with limited room for storage. We are also avid boaters who take extended trips. The Zizzo refurbished bikes we purchased are perfect for what we do. I couldn't find any flaws or scratches that would have shown previous use. They are very well made and when riding feel like the solidity and quality of a large bike.

I have really enjoy the urbano. I have over 200 miles on it. It is everything I need it to be. I'm a 65 yr old woman so I wanted a bike I could easily put in and out of my small Suv . It weighs 25lbs. I like that it doesn't take up all the space in the car. It's very convenient .I leave it in the car most of the time so it's ready whenever I want to ride. I took the bike on the train so I could access bike trails in the city. I found the video on- how to walk the bike in the folded position, ver...

We purchased 2 Fortes to take on our boat when we cruise. I haven't had a chance to do more than a "down the street" test ride, but everything operates so smoothly! Shifting and braking were set perfectly out of the box. Feels very solid riding as well. Folding and unfolding is very easy. So far we love them!

Shannon G.

I bought this bike for my husband and he LOVES it. He was pleasantly surprised because he thought a quality bike that would hold his weight would cost a lot more than we could afford. Now, he has a sturdy, high quality bike that also LOOKS good. The green is gorgeous. The bonus for us is, the handle bars and seats can be adjusted so I can ride it too if I wanted to.

Awesome folder. Holds my heavy body well (~270lbs) and is light and easy to fold. Riding is nice and comfortable, the built-in bike rack very useful too. Heartily recommend this bike!

I always wanted a bike to travel around with, so a 20 inch bike has always been the idea size for me. I am a person who enjoys the outdoors. I love to stop and site see as much as possible. I have brought bikes before but could not really enjoy riding them because they only had that one speed. They can get hard to peddle on different terrain. Going up a small incline would literally ware a person out. This bike is not only easy to peddle due to having gears. It also folds to a size where it is n...

The upgraded seat is probably the best purchase for this bike. My bike rides to work have definitely felt much better. Seat is very comfortable, as I bike roughly 6 miles each way. I would recommend that it should come standard on any Zizzo bike. Overall, definitely love this purchase and will continue to enjoy it

Easy install, looks good and it does work but i believe its for larger bottles then mine. I have the adjustment clamped all the way in and it still moved around, so I did a minor mod and added the mini bungee to close up the gap. It seems the weight of the water slashing around made the bottle want to roll out the side opening. Works for my bottle perfectly now👍

Very satisfied. One of my sons got the Forte also around two years ago. I had a Dahon then, when it came time to replace it, I checked the new 8 speed Forte and decided that it had almost same features with a better price. It rides great and very comfortable. Thanks

We bought an Urbano and a Liberte' and Both bikes are outstanding. The fit, finish and workmanship are great. The instructions for unpacking and pre ride checks both in paper and video forms are very easy to follow and helped us get to know these great bikes. We are very happy campers and are so happy we bought these Zizzo bikes.

Excellent Bikes. We bought a Liberte' and an Urbano. Both extremely well made and look fantastic. The fit, finish and workmanship are top notch. The instructions for unpacking and pre ride check are great both in printed and video forms. The bikes ride, shift and brake smooth as glass. I wish we had these when I was a kid! Thanks so much for building such a fun bike. We are definitely happy campers!

I had a Citizen Gotham 24-7 folding bike before and it was good, but it was too big and heavy for me and my car. I really like the size and weight of my ZiZZO Urbano and the ride is more comfortable. I like the way it looks too!

Convenience of being able quickly fold and take your bike anywhere is wonderful. Opens up so many possibilities-- for commuting, biking trails without a large bike rack on car, etc. Feels very sturdy and safe. Setup was easy with provided videos. Overall rides great--only issues I've had are with some delayed/ occasional bumpy gear shifting with included drivetrain.

My new Urbano was super well packaged, and shipped across the country for free! The Zizzo videos clearly showed how to unpack, check, and fold the bike. Also, the Zizzo articles on adjustment, repair, and the science behind the bike were very informative. On the phone, Tony was very helpful and courteous. Everything went smoothly. The bike looks and feels more sturdy than I expected. As a tall rider, 6 feet 4 inches, I chose Zizzo because, with the long seat post, I'm assured that I can stretch ...

Very pleased with the Liberte bicycle. I bought it because it was the lightest folding bike. It’s 10 pounds lighter than my mother’s 16” wheel Citizen brand bike. The Liberte rides smoothly with plenty of gears for my needs. It folds easily and quickly.

I got the bike to use in parades. It folded up small and easy. love how simple it is to adjust with no tools needed! I zm a clown and plan on riding it in 20 parades this summer! thanks! J.

My wife and I travel with two Zizzo folding bikes in the rear storage compartment of our RV, and we find the bike racks a necessity. When the rack for our second bike arrived, one of the rack's rear arms was slightly bent which was caused by the carrier. Normally the racks need a little encouragement to fit onto the bike properly, however, because of the slightly bent arm it was a little more difficult to align both sides of the rack with the holes on the bike's frame. However, it was nothing ...

Our first Urbano came without a rear reflector. I thought it was odd, but then decided it had something to do with folding the seat. This reflector is vastly superior from a safety standpoint. The emitted light is vivid, not only at night, but also in direct sunlight.

It's a fun, smooth ride. Took a while to get the screws just right to lock the frame in place. The regular seat is not comfortable, so I will definitely be upgrading to the nicer padded seat. But overall very happy with the bike!

I live in Alaska. My Campo lives in the back of my SUV during months where roads and trails are devoid of snow. I have many opportunities to ride numerous miles at home and no matter where I travel in my SUV. Instead of walking I simply take my Campo out and ride around to see the sites. I did fit it with your rack and my saddlebags to go on grocery store or Farmers Market shopping trips. My local grocery stores let me take the bike in, load the saddlebags with purchases, check me out and then I...

Glad I waited to buy an e-bike. This fits my requirements. All I wanted was an e-bike that was easy to lift in and out of my Outback, that would assist with some extra power for the difficult inclines, and is able to be a regular pedal bike. Great job Zizzo folks.

I was very hesitant about this purchase because a lot of bikers say the indoor trainers are just not a good experience compared to riding outside. While I agree it's not the same and not as entertaining it does exactly what I expected and more because it's very sturdy! When it's too cold to go out or raining this let's me get so much more use out of my bike. It's hard to say how many calories I'm burning but my watch shows my heart rate definitely up and I am just as sweaty as I would be on a re...

I actually installed these fenders on my 20" folding e-bike. I had to fabricate a small metal bracket for one of the rear fender mounts, but otherwise they worked perfectly. Easy install, and they look great.

To be honest was not looking to purchase a new bike. The previous purchase was for a Mongoose and loved that bicycle. Due to circumstances, the bicycle got rusted and never felt secure riding it. The Zizzo bike is lovely, HOWEVER, am a bit concerened about how to pay for it. It was purchased on credit card and am a bit insecure since haven't been able to pay for it yet! Please do not feel in anyway that this is your concern. Have not discussed it with family and don't want to use it yet since d...

I bought first the ZIZZO Forte. As a senior women, I just enjoy the folding bike very much. Extremely well made and fun to ride. I ride this little bike everyday. Just love it. To be safer I bought the lights front and back. It is very bright. It has 3 level of brightness and I love the idea to charge them with USB port. Well made and easy to mount on the bike and I did it myself. I couldn't find better lights for the ZIZZO bike. Only these that are made for the bike. Good quality too. I w...

I bought a Campo bike to use with the indoor trainer. I was surprised at how easy it was to set the bike up on the trainer. I ended up doing it by myself in just a few minutes. It’s a really stable trainer - very solid - and provides a really stable ride. I’m so glad I went with the trainer and a refurbished Campo instead of a stationary bike. For the price I’m getting so much more since I’ll be able to use the Campo as a regular bike. Really great quality for a trainer and bike that were so af...

I and my new Liberté just got back from the bike's maiden intercity bus voyage, and it now has about 60 miles on it, so time for the initial review. I've ridden bikes for six decades and this is my fourth bike in the current collection, so I'm pretty experienced. I got the bike mainly for transportation when I travel, as so many cities have sporadic bus schedules, they've given up on their bike share systems, and I've never been a fan of the unreliable and unpredictable app-based renbt-a-bike ...

I love the Zizzo Liberte. I originally bought it as gift for my wife but was so impress with how it felt that I ended buying one for myself. This Liberte is well constructed and solid. It handles the curves with ease and it is fast.
