Great bike, especially for the price! I've used this several times, speed reaches 25 mph, powerful bike, can't believe the price. Easy to handle, I have no problems whatsoever with the kickstand but if it has to be physically carried, I let my husband do it, but as for getting it off the kickstand or back on, I have no issues. I've only used it a few miles at a time but no loss of power even going up a slight hill. Love the bike!! It's fun!
