Some Assembly Required
Great bike for the price, good quality. The only problem for some may be the fact that it has to be assembled. That is relatively easy BUT the large Allen Wrench to attach the handle bars was not included, just a small one which can be used for adjusting the breaks.

Assembly is easy, just put on the handle bars, seat and front wheel.

Senior Citizen Loves Her New Bike
I'm a 70+ retired teacher who used to ride a bike everywhere, back in the 70's, but had not ridden for at least a decade. I wanted a good way to exercise outdoors, so decided to try biking again. I bought my Dektra chainless about 2 months ago, and with the help of my son, got it assembled, seat and gears adjusted, and ready to ride. It took me a few rides around the neighborhood, out of traffic, to get the hang of it again - notably, getting on and off without losing my balance. (My previous women's style bikes had a lower bar so one could easily step through, and this one has a higher bar.) At first the 3rd gear wouldn't operate smoothly, but I called tech support and got the instructions. Actually, the instructions are in the material enclosed with the bike (the sheet on from Shimano about the 'bell crank,' but those of us who are not familiar with that term might have a hard time locating the information.) The adjustment is pretty easy, but it's a little hard to see what you're doing because of the way the mechanism is oriented. They say to 'look at the two yellow lines from directly above,' but in fact, you can't see them from above. They are turned toward the ?drive shaft? (not sure of the right name for this part) and are really hard to see.

Once I got my 'bicycle legs' back, so to speak, I started to ride regularly on a nearby bike trail, about 5 miles at a time, and even making a 15-mile round trip to a nearby nature center. It's really great!

A note to other 'seniors' who haven't ridden in awhile: back when I used to ride all the time, nobody wore helmets. I don't think they had even come onto the market or been promoted. (I did say I'm over 70, didn't I?) But this time I bought one, and a good thing! On one of my trips, the bike skidded on some loose gravel and I fell on the back of my head. No problem. I had my helmet on. I also carry a cell phone, just in case.

In short, I'm very happy with my bike and expect to get a lot of enjoyment out of it.

not so great
is a good product if you dont ride so offent.

easy to put together.
a little heavy.
really hard to go up the hill.

I still dont regret buying it. the fact that it doesnt use a chain gets a lot of attention from people

Great bike.
I really like this bike. It only has 3 gears, but good enough for the bike riding that I do, just make sure you don't pedal when you shift gears. It rides really smooth. Really happy with the purchase.

Dekra D-Drive
I bought this bike for my wife for her birthday. I liked the concept of not worrying about getting your pants legs caught in the chain.
It was easy enough to assemble...about half an hour. Someone that has worked on bikes before could do it faster.
My wife loves the bike, the 3 speeds are fine for the casual riding she does around town.
There was one problem we had, there was some slippage of the gears when she went uphill. She called the support line and talked with a technician. He told her what the problem was and how to fix it. I had it repaired in less then 5 minutes once I figured out what "red line" he was talking about.
