Pretty low end for a bike and overpriced at the store you visited

If you google on the name, this comes up with a price of $233.99 US$. It is very low end. Nakamura Royal - Equipment - Bike - Hybrid bikes | Sports Experts If you add currency conversion and VAT, I would be surprised if it added up to $500 CDN$. One thing that comes to mind is what does it weigh? When you buy a bike in this price range it often has virtually useless suspension that adds weight to what you have to pedal. You are much better off looking for a similarly priced bike with NO suspension so the manufacturer can put a little more money into better components for the drive train and maybe lighter wheels. The brakes and drive train on this bike are the lowest of the low. Here's a Canadian seller with a price of $223.99 which I assume is in CDN because the site is located in your country.
