| im looking for my first bike. something to learn on as well as get to school and work.. and to putt around the area. i would be taking the bike off road. nothing too serious but it would see some abuse.. it would also see some highway driving and would be driven daily at speeds 50+mph. it would need to be reliable and long lasting.. is this the bike for me?

| | Not sure... I haven't had mine too long (ok about 5 months, but I bought it at the start of winter)... It has just under 300km, and I didn't break in as the manual recommended, however it doesn't seem to have any problem going 100km/h (60mph), it is very light and easy to handle... One thing to remeber with it being so light it will be easy to skid in the rain, or the wind will knock you around more then on a heavier bike (just for getting used to biking I'm pointing this out). My battery's been too dead to use the electric starter so I've had to work at kick starting it every time... But I've only put less then 300k on it in 5 months, so thats to be expected. Seems to work good though for hoping on and going into town, and I took it out in a foot and half of snow and it worked good there too. Long lasting, only time will tell. Good luck! |

Chinese bikes, particularly the Lifans, can be a bargain if you are willing to put some work into them (ie, loc-tite when assembling, etc). The best source for information on them is the chinariders website.
Common problems to watch out for are spotty electronics, batteries, and tubes. |
