Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I purchased my EuroMini Via after returning a Schwinn Loop. The EuroMini website has a sale that has this bike for $199 with free shipping - and 30 day return guarantee - so I decided to take a risk. I had reviewed the YouTube Videos of folding demonstrations, as well as the EuroMini website in detail. Normally I am an avid Prime shopper, which is why I tried the Schwinn Loop first, but it was so poorly designed and assembled that I could not keep it. After considering a Ford Taurus, I decided to give the Euro Mini a try. Three things about me as you read this review. First I'm a mechanical engineer, so quality matters a great deal to me. Secondly, I attend spin classes every morning, meaning I enjoy riding. Thirdly, I was in the market for a folding bike to carry in my car's trunk when I tow my travel trailer. I did not want to expose a bike to the elements nor tempt thieves at my campsites. I purchased the Via because it has folding pedals over the Campo. The lighter weight was a bonus. The fit, form, and function of the bike straight out of the box was outstanding. No adjustments to brakes or gears were necessary. The manual contained clear instructions on folding and unfolding. My test ride was flawless. I'm 5'9" and was able to fully extend my legs, which is my preference for riding. One of the really unique features is the magnetic widgets that hold the two halves of the bike together - perfection! Has just the right amount of force to hold together when moving around, putting in and out of trunk and wheeling around. Then easy to separatate when you're ready to ride. An excellent design feature! To be honest, had I known about the quality of this bike, I would never have considered the Loop or the Taurus at all. The shipping was super fast, I got mine in 3 days, but perhaps that's because I live fairly close to where the company is (Northern California). I am totally delighted and amazed at what this bike can do, and it will allow me to take rides while I RV and camp - while keeping my bike stowed safely in my trunk. It is incredibly lightweight, easy to fold and stow, and really fun to ride. I find myself wondering whether I will use my other regular sized bike and bike rack anymore. Now I know why they offered a money back guarantee - no way anyone would return one of these bikes. They are too sweet! Thank you EuroMini! :-)
