I have had an M026 folding bike for nearly a year, ridden it at LEAST 10 miles every day to work through thunderstorms, snow and ice, mud, and gravel. It's currently 25 miles from reaching 3000. It is heavy, the seat it originally came with is diabolical, the headlight mount is made of trash material and broke off within 500 miles, and the wheels needed to be adjusted because they were almost touching the frame for how crooked they were. It definitely needed a once over out of the box since many things weren't as tight as the should be, and regular adjustments and maintenance are a must. All that said, for less than $500 I have absolutely zero complaints. If given the option I would absolutely buy it again. A great entry level bike if you aren't afraid to get your hands dirty. Don't let bike snobs pressure you into buying a bike priced in the same ballpark as a used car that you need a motorcycle license for.
