Summary: The package arrived with damage
Comment: The tire and inner tube of the bike arrived with a hole. It is obviously that there is no quality control before the bike is shipped. The company promised to ship a replacement set but a wrong one was sent. It has been four weeks and I am still waiting!
The Assembly Instruction manual was a joke! It fits may be 90% of the parts actually received. Luckily, the assembly was rather easy.

Summary: I love this bike
Comment: I got this bike for my 8 year old daughter and I so that we could do some longer rides together than she is able to do on her solo bike. We have had such amazing adventures on this! It has held up through storms, dirt trails, pavement, potholes, and more. We just did a 400 mile tour on it and we had no real problem, just got a tune-up on brakes/gears half way through as we had lots of grit in the bike from use. Our bike has held up better on long rides than other folks we have been with who were riding much more expensive bells and whistles bikes. They had flats and broken bits while we kept going!

Summary: Fun to ride once you adjust the gears and repair the flat tire.
Comment: I have a 10 year old boy with autisim who can not ride alone, but he loves riding on this bike. We had a tag along bike that was ok when he was smaller, but this is much more stable and easier to ride.
It was pretty easy to put together. The front tire went flat on our first ride though. I put a new tube in and havent had any other problems. Also, the gears need to be adjusted. Out of the box, many gears were unreachable.
I recomend this bike if the second rider is a child. The second seat may be a bit low for an adult.

Summary: not ready to ride
Comment: When the bike came my son and I took it out of the box and began setting it up. When we came to airing up the tires part the front tire leaked big time. We took the bike to a local bike shop to have them check out the rest of the bike and they discovered that the rear rim was bent beyond repair. I contacted Kent and they wouldn't do nothing to correct the problem. I then contacted Amazon and told them what happened and they credited my account for the amount of the repair parts. High fives for Amazon and %^&#$*&# to the Kent bike company.

Summary: Kent Tandem
Comment: note to buyer: GET A METRIC ALLEN WRENCH. Nice idea, one size tool adjusts SEATS, HANDLE BARS and BRAKES. They don't provide one and you are going to need one.
CONS?:inner tube had an air leak BEFORE I rode it ($2 patch), all reflectors broken (packaged from the factory broken)and instructions are worthless. I wish it had grease fittings to lube sprockets but maybe they don't ever need it??? Delivered in good condition. Forget any support from invisible Kent Bike company.
PROS?: Seems pretty stable and well made. Spouse and I have ridden 3 or 4 times, and 50 miles or so, with no problems, though I believe I am doing most of the peddling! It's definitely fun.
Would I buy it again?? YES YES YES. Oh, and don't forget to bring along that ALLEN WRENCH for on the trail adjustments. You're welcome!
jcg, tampa
