I was from Newport Beach, now residing in Singapore. Bought this bike two months ago and love every minute of riding with it. I've been deciding between the Zizzo with the Bromptons but I'm glad I got this. Like what you shared in this video, a wonderful bike, well built and easy to get around even stocked. I am a 20-year triathlete veteran and have no complains about owning this Zizzo...
Great bikes, these Zizzo mini bikes. Low cost, high quality, delivered to your (and my... ) home! I bought a "Liberte" model, and loved riding it from the start. After a week or two, my arms and hands were hurting: I'm used to drop-bars, as on my classic 1986 "Team USA" 27-inch frame Raleigh, instead, and not the straight bars supplied with the off-the-shelf Zizzo bike, which put me arms and posture in an unaccustomed position and attitude. I know that many younger people like the straight bars, because of the popularity of mountain bikes (NEVER a liking of mine, as a road-bike enthusiast, and commuter). So, I made a conversion! (had to). Drop bars suit me so much better. I have many hand and arm positions available. The bike also got about 1 pound lighter from my conversion, which is not an insignificant fraction of its original weight. Kudos!, Zizzo! Yours was the canvas upon which I made my revision. There may be yet other (large?) tweaks that I may have fun making. Thanks! -- Joe / Tucson ARIZONA
I am glad someone is taking the profits out of Bromptom and Dahon who overcharge so much for their bikes. They look good. I have to say though that the seat looks brutal. 5 minutes on that would have my entire groin area numb as a MFr. Those welds look really clean. Nice vid.
There is litterally one of these sitting in a park near where I live that has a free sign on it with a trailer attached to it so it can't be all that good.
Ive had a Zizzo Forte for a few months and I’m already upgrading the derailleur and switching to trigger shifters. I’ve had problems with the shifter skipping gears and shifting part of the way into gear. Everything else on it is great. The frame is solid as a rock and the breaks are great. It’s too bad they didn’t put a better drivetrain on it.
any issues with the rims being single walled instead of double walled? i don’t plan to do any rugged mountain biking with this baby, so i hope i don’t run into any problems with the rims...
Hi you mentioned on your video you can put bigger wheels. If so what size wheels would I be able to put? I like the compact size of the bike but not so much the small wheels. Thanks 😊
PERTH WEST OZ RC I’m okay. God sustains me. Haven’t worked much in the past few months. Pesky HBP and other health issues... hence the bicycle. Need to drop 60#. Cycling is the way to get that done. Feeling better. More active. Thanks for stopping by.
The biggest problem I have with these bikes is that the seat post does not go up high enough to allow even a normal sized person to extend their legs like they should. Is this one OK for you? I am 5'9" and I have a older Dahon and it is pulled all the way up so that just about 2 inches of the post is held in the frame ... which always kind of worried me.
Just ordered a yellow one can’t wait for it to come in. I did have to snag a refurbished one, should I be weary or concerned about that? I’m pretty happy about this purchase! Great video my friend.
I wouldn’t be concerned about the refurbished bike. I have dealt directly with these guys and they are on it. They stand 100% behind their product and know it inside and out. You should be very happy!
Thanks for the review. I just purchased the Campo and it will be shipped to me next week. I heard the stock saddle is uncomfortable. I was wondering what saddle are you using or if you recommend a certain saddle that’s comfortable ?
Vinny Shenoy Hey there. The stock saddle is really not bad. It’s wider than the Selle Royal saddle I am using on my bike and it is comfortable if it’s set up properly. It also takes time for your body to adjust to using the small bones in your backside to support weight. Thankfully the Campo has a nice upright riding position. I would say try the stock saddle out for a week or two and see if you like it. There are indeed options out there that will provide more initial comfort. I recommend Sunlite saddles Cloud9 series. Whatever you chose, you made a great choice in bicycles.
Sorry, I forgot to ask. Just watched your vid again. Do the folding pedals on the Campo come standard? Also, I noticed that the steering bar has no height adjustment, is that a feature you wished it had or is it something you would barely use anyway? Thanks!
The Campo was redesigned to appeal to more of a cruiser recreation type buyer given the wider saddle and as pointed out, full length non adjustable stem. Very comfortable ride. Thanks for watching!
Well, it’s just rude to say things assembled in China are unfortunate. I believe there are many high end products from China. After all, it’s all about how a factory being managed. Feel free to hate China’s government that I am with you, but there are just so many innocent civilians work their butt off to earn minimum wage (the reason this bike can be so cheap) to assemble a lot of products around you and me. For that, I think they deserve some respect.
Those are optional, you can buy them directly from the manufacturer. I bought my first Campo with no fenders/mudguards, I eventually ordered them after a few days
