Schwinn Perla Cruiser Bike, 26 Inch Bike for Women and Men, 7-Speed Beach Cruiser Bicycle, Linear Pull Brakes, Comfortable Quilted Seat, Upright Riding Position, Adult Bicycle

I read reviews and was not surprised by this bike. It is built solidly as I would expect from Schwinn and was not crazy hard to put together. I did have to adjust the derailer and it was simply a matter of turning 2 screws. Instructions are in the manual for everything you need to know and there is a customer support number provided as well. Ride quality was good. Seat is comfortable, though the seat is white so shows dirt easily. Brakes were noisy at first but after several rounds of not hard braking I was able to build up enough on the rims that they are quiet now. Gears shift easily after the easy adjustment. I purchased accessories including a basket for the front and it was easy to fit these as the design can accommodate a large basket in front. My bike did have some scuffing (can easily buff out) and a few minor dings. I plan on contacting Schwinn to see if they make a touch up kit like you would get for a car. This does not bother me as it was overall I'm good shape upon arrival. It does include wheel and front/rear reflectors which is something I wondered before I got it. Tires needed minor inflation so be prepared for that. I will update my review if anything changes, but I am happy with the Perla. The "blue" is definitely a mint/sea foam color which is my favorite. I recommend the bike!

I was really worried about buying a bike online, but this bike is my BABY! It's so cute! I get so many compliments on it! My husband put it together for me with my dads help because I had no idea where to begin lol. Overall took about an hour/hour and a half even with my dad having built many bikes for my sisters and I over the years, so if you don't have experience putting them together it may take you longer. It runs very well, very smooth, the speed shifter is a little hard to change but not a deal breaker, seat is not very comfy in the butt but you could always get a new seat to suit your comfort. Overall I am very pleased with this bike, it is very well made, and it goes very well with a cute wicker basket! I have only ridden Schwinn bikes since I was a kid, and I will forever be a Schwinn girl!

I got my wife the pink version for her birthday and she loves it. I read reviews where people complained about the gears not set up right or the breaks I will say this bike required a lot of adjustments to work. I was a bit surprised at this I bought this bike over others that cost half as much because of the name and expectation of quality. My biggest complaint is the wheels they are so far off being straight I had to adjust the front to keep the breaks from rubbing every rotation. And the back looks like it is so bent. It might have something to do with the packaging when I carried the box from my porch to the garage it literally fell out of the box. I was expecting a lot of rub damage and missing parts but to my surprise there wasn’t any.

This is the worse bike we have ever owned. I bought the bike as a gift to my wife. She loved the color and style. Upon receiving the bike, I noticed right away some issues. The brakes are not properly adjusted and when I first rode it, I noticed that the 7 speed gear was not adjusting properly (skipping gear). Not only skipping, the gear will not stay in low gear and goes to high gear on its own after adjustment. I literally work on the bike for 3 days to get it to work. My friend ended up helping me as both front and rear tire are not true and was wobbly. The rear brake was rubbing the rear rim and ended up rubbing off the paint. I wish I still had the box it came with. I would have spent the same amount of money shipping this bike back. Total waste of money! Update by the wife: I love this bike but I feel bad my poor husband spent so much time fixing it. I sit more upright than on previous bikes I’ve had so it’s comfortable. Plus it’s cute.

Although there were issues with the transaction, my bike finally arrived. Now that I’ve put it together and had a local shop tighten and check my work, I am sooo pleased with this bicycle. Sleek and comfortable. Smooth riding all around. I would suggest assembling using the manual alone that comes with it. And I could not find any video for this model specifically, and there really should be one. But after approx 9 hours, I finally had it put together. My wrists are not as strong as I thought and I was unable to tighten the seat and handlebars appropriately, but a local shop helped with that. The instructions for aligning the brakes were also apparently confusing. I had them perfect according to the shop that double checked my work for me, but not according to the instructions. So I guess I would also suggest getting a second opinion on your work after putting it together. And maybe have a professional deal with the brakes right from the get-go. And DO test drive in a highly secured area just in case the seat and handlebars come loose at the same time. Lol. Hey - everyone does know to do that, right? Overall I am THRILLED with the final product! Gotta go for a ride now 😊

Très beau vélo, arrivé en excellent état, malgré que la boîte était brisée due au transport probablement. Le vélo était intact, tellement tout était bien emballé. Par contre, si vous n’avez jamais touché à des outils et que vous ne connaissez pas vraiment les vélos, je vous conseille de demander à un expert ou une personne s’y connaissant un minimum, de le monter pour vous, parce qu’il y a plusieurs ajustements à faire, comme l’alignement des roues et l’ajustement des freins. Le guidon est un peu large mais c’est le style du vélo et il suffit simplement de s’y habitué, sinon il est parfait pour les petites promenades tranquilles, mais assurément remarquées, avec sa magnifique peinture rose nacrée et ses petits détails vraiment très féminins, vous l’adorerez !

We paid to have the bike assembled, so did cost extra but it is a great bike. It is bigger than I anticipated, at 5'1 it's a bit tricky to get on and off. Rides great, seat and handle bars are comfortable. The pink colour was what we were looking. So far, great bike.

The first bike was opened damaged fender. Company said if ordered from Amazon to return and reorder so I did and it was ok Nice bike for the value

Bonjour, je viens d’assembler le vélo que j’ai acheté chez vous et je ne suis vraiment pas content de ce que vous m’avez envoyé. Non seulement il y a plusieurs petits défauts comme de la peinture endommagée à un endroit, le protecteur de la chaîne qui est plié, le protecteur de la roue arrière qui est plié mais le pire c’est que la ROUE ARRIÈRE est complètement tordue/croche/courbée ce qui rend le vélo complètement inutilisable. La seule façon de le faire avancer est si j’écarte complètement les freins ce qui les rend à leur tour inutilisable. La roue avant est elle aussi croche mais beaucoup moins que celle arrière. J'aimerais avoir une solution à tout ça. Merci

I bought the bike because of the color.. It is way too big for me could you make the same bike in a smaller size for older woman like me..
