Shimano, being the drivetrain maker, should understand how to set the proper chain length right for their drivetrain. But apparently not to the internet experts commenting on a photo who clearly never actually took a proper bike mechanics course, or ever read the actual instructions from the drivetrain maker themselves. To me the biggest drawback of that bike is the suspension fork, I had a similar fork on another Walmart bike that I replaced with a suspension corrected steel fork for a better riding experience and shaved a few pounds off of that bike. I'd take a flier on this bike if I had a use for it, unlikely but I might as a bike to leave at my son's place in Texas so I can keep up with him on rides. The HeyBike Mars Hyper is coming in at $1,499. As an upgrade to the original Mars, that’s a good price for the extra capacity and the alloy wheels alone. Carter says, "We feel the market has curved towards our brand's position with the direct to consumer and online sales channels being acceptable avenues to offer and purchase products." With 20” x 4” fat tires, the Mars Hyper has the ability to scale urban jungles and off-road adventures alike. While the tires aren’t the most durable for long-term street use, they are incredibly comfortable and tacky on account of the sheer air volume and surface contact. With the center of gravity being much lower, folding electric bikes like these make off-road riding a comically easy affair. The 160mm mechanical disc brakes are super easy to maintain, and provide decent stopping power both on the roads and brush. A tool is set up to find a bike as easily as possible, in a store near you or directly, if this service is available, in your mailbox . I think it's more that you missed my point while ranting about some garbage. The bike lacks the features that interest me, so I'm uninterested. When did the lbs put other local small businesses out of business? I happen to the know the wages my lbs guys make and maybe your lbs pays much less but not the case in my community. I know they ride Hyper DJs and BMX (they were all here in Bentonville for a Walmart/hyper deal at one of our pump tracks a year or so ago) but they may have a deal with Giant for MTB. Multiple times I've seen Travis and others from the Nitro crew on Giant bikes. I have a feeling that even though they are just using Walmart as a distribution channel , that people are going to have a tough time getting past the whole "Walmart bike" thing. Besides the big high end bike companies are going to make their money from Ebikes now.
