Pretty good tandem, good shipping, good customer service October 31, 2008
Iron Jim (El Paso, Tx)
Tandem arrived in pretty good shape, and quickly. Amazon does a good job of shipping. This is the third bike shipped to me this year, so I'm somewhat experienced in good and bad packing and shipping jobs. There were a couple of minor issues. The back seat post was slightly bent. It took a small hammer and small bar and about 5 minutes to round it out so that the seat would slide in and tighten correctly. Works fine. The rear inner tube had a hole, and the front inner tube had a bad valve. I called Kent customer service, and they were courteous and helpful, and immediately shipped two tubes. In the interim I put slime in both tubes to be able to test ride it. The bike rides very comfortably with the 26x2.125 tires. I joke that they look and ride like car tires. It is heavy, however, the gear ratio compensates, especially the granny gear for hills. The back seat is designed for any height. Standover is 20", front is approx 29". My stoker is 4'11. Perfect fit for her. Gears shift easily, but they do require adjustment. Front and real derailleur adjustment is fairly simple. Just look on youtube for how to adjust gears or derailleurs. Wheels are fairly true, a little off. Again, Youtube shows how to adjust them, or, take the bike to a local bike shop and for $40 they'll tune and adjust and oil it. Well worth it if you have zero mechanical skills. The bike looks sharp for a tandem. It turns a lot of heads. For $284 and free shipping, it's a good deal.
 tandem bike with missing parts October 18, 2008
J. Kebenei (Riverside County, CA)
Bike arrived fast in shipping and in contrast from previous reviews was fairly easy to put together using the manual. Only problem is there are numerous parts missing-4 pedal feet, reflectors, and front and rear fenders. Are these a part of the bike (it says they are in the manual). We are planning to call customer service first thing in the morning and request that these items are sent out so hopefully they accomodate our request. We will update our review if we recieve the items requested. We can not test the bike until we at least recieve the pedals. We do not want to return the bike as we am definitely afraid of the shipping costs!!
Kent Dual Drive - Nice Bike October 13, 2008
VidSpec_Guy (Georgia)
I received the bicycle in good order,but there was one flaw. The pedals are threaded left and right-handed to keep them from accidentally spinning off. My bike, however had both front pedals threaded right-handed. With only a Left and Right handed pedal for each rider, I was forced to purchase a set pedals from my local store before I could finish assembling the bicycle. I was not about to return it for such a simple flaw, but it was annoying, none the less.
 Fun and Comfortable Ride September 25, 2008
Anne (Maine)
This bike is fantastic. I was not comfortable letting my 8 year old daughter ride a bike on the road. This bike solves the problem. It is a safe and fun way to ride and be safe. We ride to the bus stop every morning and it is easy for me to ride back home. My husband loves taking her riding now because the seats are comfortable enough for long rides. Don't hesitate on this bike it is a fantastic buy. Kent Dual Drive Tandem Comfort Bike

Bike is a good one. Instructions for putting it together were not very good. I was able to figure it out eventually. The quality and value of the bike is very good.
