The bike arrived with a few small scratches and dents. It was difficult to put the bike together because the directions were poorly printed…the photos/diagrams were so dim I really couldn’t make them out. I haven’t got around to riding the bike yet…it’s sitting in my hallway. After putting the bike together and setting it on both tires, the tube in the front tire blew out before I had a chance to sit on the bike. I called to get a replacement tube; however,the seller wouldn’t replace just the tube. The seller offered to replace the entire bike; however, that meant I’d have to take the bike apart and repack it so I decided against returning the bike.

It arrived pretty much untouched, except one small ding in the front fender, but it’s hardly noticeable. It’s really cute and is just what i was looking for in a cruiser! Assembly was a bit aggravating though because a design flaw in the front fender made it really hard to align and I had to makeshift a way for it to work. Other than that it was really not too difficult! The color is really nice, more gold than vanilla on the actual body but its really shimmery and pretty.

easy to put together…only negative was the box it came in looked like it had just been thru a tornado..overall great buy, it was a gift and she loves it!

With the right tools, listed in the instruction manual, I was able to put it together pretty easily. I found a digital version of the instruction manual on Huffy’s website, which helped a lot because the photos on the hard copy they sent me were blurry. It’s a very heavy bike. It was cheaper than anything I could find in Boston, new or used. It would be a good Burning Man bike because of the very wide tires. The front fender is a little crooked.

I purchased the Huffy Newport Women’s 26-Inch Cruiser Bike, And also The Men’s 26″. The Huffy Newport Women’s 26-Inch Cruiser Bike is a better bike than the mans one. It has machined rims vers stamped steel(they were bent pretty bad on mens bike). very happy with that purchase.

I read all the reviews and thought it was a bad idea to buy it but I had very little money and really wanted a beach cruiser so I went for it. When it arrived the box was really beaten up but luckily nothing was bent or dinged. I was amazed that there was nothing to cushion the parts, no packing peanuts, no cardboard inserts. The parts were just thrown in a box.
It didn’t come with any instructions so I had to look them up online and print them out. After about a half an hour of assembly I road it for all of a minute when the chain got caught on the chain guard (lol) so I had to bend it a little, it hasn’t given me any problems since though. So then I road it again and the handle bar and seat both turned around in their sockets and I almost crashed. So I had to have my boyfriend tighten them so hard that the seat doesn’t spin anymore but it will never adjust again, it’s permanent where it is.
The handle bar foam is really cheap and I can see it just cracking and falling off in not too long.
The seat is so uncomfortable that my pelvis and tail bone feel bruised after only a 3 mile ride.
The handle bar at it’s highest adjustment and the seat at it’s lowest adjustment is not at the heights normal beach cruisers should be. A normal beach cruiser allows you to sit up straight while riding whereas this bike I have to bend over slightly because the handlebars are at the same height as the seat (almost like a racing bike).
When I first road it I was quoted saying “This bike is a death trap!”. Now admittedly after finagling some of the parts it’s no longer a death trap but it is still a reeeeeally cheaply made bike. I have a mountain bike from walmart that was the same price and it’s far better quality. I really think you’re paying for the style of this bike and not it’s parts, otherwise you’d be paying like maybe $50 for it. I will admit this bike looks super cool and it does get me around for fun but if you’re planning on using this bike a lot then don’t buy it (your butt will thank you).
As soon as I save up money I plan to sell this bike on Craigslist and get an Electra or maybe a Schwinn from a bike store where I can test it out first.

I went and sat on this bike in a toy store before buying it here,it seemed shorter there than when I got my own. Also, the seat wants to turn everytime you petal.

I was concerned when this bike arrived with several large (meaning small basketball) sized holes in the box. It didn’t appear that the bike was missing any pieces or damaged at all though. The only difficulty putting it together was with the front fender…without the picture on the box, there are no instructions on how to do it, but not too hard to figure out. Had to tighten the handlebars again once using it for awhile, but now I think they are set (had a male friend tighten them more). A male friend of mine rode this bike about 10 miles and really enjoyed the ride, especially the cushioned seat. This is great for short commutes or just getting around. Not great if you are planning going up and down a lot of hills as it is a bit heavy and doesn’t have any gears.

This bike does its primary job only. The quality is very poor. The paint scratches off super easily. The breaks don’t allow you to come to a complete stop. The fenders bend easily so that they rub against the tire. I have to continually bend it back. I think the seat is quite comfortable but my friend says it was not. The color is a bit different than in the picture. It is darker and more yellowish-orange. The handlebar cushions are slowly coming off the sides and have already smashed down after only having the bike for 3 weeks. Even though there are a lot of negative qualities about it I love it.

Yes, this is a cheap bike. I now understand that I should not expect a lot from a bike for this price. The instructions were terrible, and it was missing a screw. tAfter I put the bike together, I took it for a ride and the handlebars gave out, almost making me crash into a pole! After I tightened all the screws, the bike still makes a weird clicking sound and is very unstable.
