Love the bike! Directions could have been a little clearer on how to assemble the brakes. Ended up taking it to a local bike shop for a “tune up” to make sure if was put together correctly. Also a small scuff on the metal part of the handle bar.
This might be one of the only things I've ever purchased that lived up to the amount of joy I imagined it would bring. It's really lovely being out in the middle of a lake out of earshot of screaming kids on the beach, enjoying the sounds of the water and the colors of the pine trees against the blue sky. I've seen several birds at local lakes like a giant blue heron and, for the very first time, a blue kingfisher (I forget the exact name, you know what I mean). 10/10 purchase, would recommend. If I had to do it over again I might spring for the plus as I wish I had a strap to carry it.
We loved this bike as a present for my husband's birthday but unfortunately someone stole it from our garage before we got much use out of it!
Great helmet! Keeps me safe. I have locs so size small only fits on my head when my hair is down. For my loc girlies, if you wear a low ponytail often, size up. Since I got a white color, it gets dirty quickly but overall great product.
I love my new bike. I was nervous at first because I didn’t even know how to ride at my grown age, but I was able to learn in one day on the beaumont city bike! I ride it to work and to campus. It’s so smooth and fast!!!! Don’t hesitate if you’re contemplating, just buy it.
I absolutely love my silver basket (who I named Tiara) and my loyal steed Sunbeam (my yellow bicycle) loves her too!
The only mods I made were to add some trimmed up velcro strips to the basket handles so that if I am riding with some liquid weight (eg. grocery store runs) the handles don't flip up and dislodge the basket.
I also love that I can remove the basket whenever I want to because I love the minimalist look of my bicycle.
This basket is a game-changer - highly suggested; esp if you're like me and do all of your grocery shopping with a heavy bike bag and don't want to kill your back.
Thank you!

Retrospec is an amazing brand. Worth every penny!
The bike is very nice. But, it took a long time getting here. It was for my daughter’s birthday and came a week later.
However, the representative that i spoke with was very helpful, and sent out a new one because the other one was probably lost by the shipping company
I love the versatility and stability of this board!! My small dog and I are able to navigate the board around eachother and I feel confident that I can get on and off in the water without inadvertantly throwing her in. :D
This is the most perfect paddle board. However beearw of the phone case! Mine broke snd feel ti the bottom of the lake. I had to pay $1000 to get a new phone
Macebell was packaged well, showed up in great shape. Choose a retrospec mace in part because I read that their grip was both present enough to help but not aggressive enough to hinder movement for certain exercises. Happy that this is indeed the case.
I love the look of this bike, but I wish it were a smidge bigger in a few spots. For example, I have small hands and the handlebars still feel short.
Overall, I’m happy with the bike but wouldn’t recommend it for larger people.
The paddleboard is easy to assemble is sturdy and works great. I love the backpack and the fact that it is easy storage. Can't wait to purchase other products from this company
Fast shipping. A piece of the bike was bent, but still able to assemble with some tweaking
