the ride is nice, i really enjoy the coaster brake and the high-cadence spinning! we have tested it with upards of 150kg on the rack (two big guys, plus rider) and it still handles well, although if it had that much dead weight youd have to be careful not to tip it too far to one side and not be able to controll the weight. Still, 60kg of dead weight can be esaily managed. unloaded, it handles alot like a mounain bike, and is surprisingly fast (if you really spin the 32 tooth chainring). The bike itself weighs around 15kg, or 34lbs, but this will be reduced by changing the cheap-as-can-be rims, which we will soon.
