The overall build quality of the Footbike is really great. Before I bought this bike I was unsure whether to go for a Kickbike “Finnscoot” or the Footbike.
Since the Footbike is better equipped and costs less than the Kickbike, I thought well what are you waiting for. But than I looked at several pictures of Kickbike/ Footbike championchips and I hardly ever saw a Footbike. As I couldn´t try both, I went for the Footbike because of its betters specs and because my local dealer told me out of personal experience, that the footbikes built quality is superb to that of a kickbike and I can´t say it was a mistake. All tech details can be found on the Footbike homepage.
The footbike is too new to say anything about its everyday usage but I´m sure I´ll make another post in a month or two.
Thanks for posting about this! My friend owns two Kickbikes, and I got to ride one for the first time the other day. It was awesome! Now I’m scheming to get one of my own. It’s a great workout, and it’s the most fun I’ve had exercising in years! I’m sure you’ll enjoy your Footbike. I’m looking forward to more of your posts on this topic, especially the great photos!
Looks pretty good but that is MUCH more assembly than my kickbike that I recently purchased. I simply put on the fender, handlebar which was already attached to the cables and front tire. Thats it! 15 minutes to assemble. Not sure about the specs though and quality advantage as at least the kickbike comes with a kickstand. Where else did footbike cut out quality if they can’t put on a kickstand for $5?
But I agree it is a great workout.
