My Avanti is fine for the price I paid. I'm a small senior lady living in a small space. I don't need high speed or high style. The Avanti is light enough for me to put inside my house. The folding function is quite smooth and efficient. More expensive bikes fold into a leaner profile, but the Avanti is adequate. Though it's good for street riding, tire grip is uncertain on crushed rock/dirt bike paths. Overall, pretty good for exercise and errands.

Vendor was very good, shipped on time with extra packaging and responded quickly to inquiries via e-mail. Bike itself is plagued by a few rather quirky and poorly engineered parts compared to my other folding bike (which did cost more than twice as much, so it's only fair to expect some cheaper parts on this unit). Mostly I have had to spend much more time than expected "tuning", including brakes, derailleur, wheel truing, etc. The front stem folding mechanism is very poorly made and requires constant adjustment to keep the stem tight in the upright position.. I have yet to resolve a clunking problem with the derailleur, but have not called the "tech rep" yet so hope that will solve that. Overall, it would be hard to beat this bike for the cost if you are capable of doing a fair amount of tuning yourself upon delivery and don't plan to ride it any long distances. Folds nicely and is relatively lightweight.

My husband and I bought an Avanti (no front suspension) and a Turismo (front suspension). I'm glad we got both because I like the Turismo, the front suspension is less jarring on rough sidewalks / roads. My husband prefers the Avanti. Both bikes are well constructed and came mostly assembled. It took about 15 minutes from unpacking to riding. You can't beat these for the price.
