Probably will just become brittle from the sun exposure
Even if it didn’t, it just seems like a miserable bike overall.
The company is billing it as a highly sustainable alternative to regular bicycles
This is one of the most “We are a plastics company and will say any silly thing to justify the existence of our product” things I’ve seen on a long time. Regular bicycles are already extremely durable, serviceable, and have plenty of parts options. They can last 20-40 years easily. Something I doubt this Fisherprice-esque bicycle will do as it sheds microplastics everywhere and can’t actually be recycled because plastic is one of the most difficult to recycle materials in the world.
Sorry to nitpick it so much. I probably wouldn’t have been so salty if they didn’t make the BS claims. A simple “We are plastic company! Look, plastic bike!” would’ve been fine.
Doesn’t aluminum do this job better?
1,300 dollars for a plastic bike that is made of 50% recycled materials to qualify as eco friendly
All the corrosion proof fittings and solid lubrication parts would do well on a regular bike frame
