Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone out there had an experience using a ZIZE bike? I am thinking about purchasing one and would like to hear any consumer reviews...

Cheers,

I took a look at the site.. couple of them looked interesting..

They seem quite expensive for what they are. I'd say they're made in China too because they don't highlight it. That might not bother most people. The cheapest I saw was $2500. For $500 on Craigslist you could get a steel bike that would do the same job, if not better.

You're not getting a bike for $500 that is purposely built for riders weighing up to 400lbs-- most anything not made specifically for the superclyde niche will have a limit of 300lbs at most, many are 250lbs. They all appear to feature disc brakes, internal gear hubs, double bolt seatpost clamps, overbuilt wheels-- they seem to have thought them through. Dirtysixer bikes are really expensive as well, because they're also built for a very niche market.

I did note that the Zize Cyclone/Journey looks suspiciously similar to the Day 6 Behemoth-- so if you're looking for a quasi-recumbent flat-foot type of bike, Day 6 might be worth a look, as they have models starting around $1,000, and weight limits of ~350lbs.
