Not really wanting to sent it back to Walmart after changing a few things off the bike.
Main hinge integrity is the main concern I would have with a bike of that nature.

I would strongly suggest exchanging the bike while still within the return period, because a main hinge failure while at speed while at a minimum get you seriously injured.
