Tongda rear suspension broken/Resistance not being produced by gears

Well, I saw my Tognda rear suspension completely snap. Should've seen that coming, I'm delicate with my bike I want paying attention when I handed over the bicycle. The bike isn't producing resistance and I have no idea why some say it's the crank but I just don't understand how it could the crank there's now way that much wear and tear happened I barely rode it. Mysterious. Also without the suspension that bike hurts like a motherfker holy shi. I can't even ride it, it's crazy.

Howe about a little more info? Like .... what is a Tognda? Why did any part of it snap? What do you mean when you say "it "isn't producing resistance"? Resistance to what? And why do you think suspension is involved? And how did "handing it over" cause it to break? If it is a new bike, treated well, and it broke .... it couldn't have been a very good bike to begin with, but you go with what you have, sure ..... but what is it anyway? (Nothing shows up in a couple internet searches ....)

Further, how is it that no one can tell if it is "the crank" or "the suspension"? Considering that each is very different and does very different things, that is like not knowing if you have a cut on your arm or your leg. Also .... front suspension? Rear suspension? How can you ride it if it doesn't produce "resistance"?

I understand English might not be your first language, and/or "bicycle" might be a tongue you are just learning, but we really need a LOT more specific information to be able to even understand the question.

I know it can be tough to get links and pictures posted since you are new, but apparently you can create a photo gallery ... and there are ways to post links if you are creative ......

Pretty sure people here are completely willing to help but we can't at this point. Help us ... help you.

It's too easy to bike in 3 and 7 speed hardest gear it should be harder to peddle but it's crazy easy to peddle it use to be hard to peddle and I'd go pretty fast then out of nowhere it broke and now it's easy to peddle and I can't gain speed like I use to on the hardest gears possible. Tognda rear suspension just snapped at one of the connecting parts. It got out together but I don't hear any noises from it. It's as if it's dead. I have no idea why, but it hurts like hell to ride the bike now that the rear suspension doesn't work.

I made a video to YouTube. Basically the rear suspension is intact but not working. And it's too easy to peddle, my gears broke and I can't gain the same speed I use to have prior to breaking. Because it's too easy to peddle.

I think this is a non-English speaker using a defective translation program. Maybe someone knows a way to help?

Eventually he will post a link to the YouTube video.
@DyingAndDying---your drive train, not your suspension, has broken, from the sound of it. most likely your front derailleur cable, which is leaving the chain on the smallest (front) chain ring. No way to know at this time.

Once you have enough posts we can watch your video.

I hate when my gears break and it's too easy to pedal. Not peddle...unless you are trying to sell me something.

I looked on You Tube, nothing "Tongda." Google search came up with nothing but some random images, no complete bikes, and references to Ali. This may be a Chinese BSO, as in "Full Suspension MTB for $199.99." If that's the case, best to assume there is no way to make it functional as a bicycle. Sorry.

Just uploaded the video, I'm not a non English speaker. I'm just burnt out from my mistakes in life, I didn't try to type this at all. I hate typing so much in general. That's what videos and pictures are for/substitute. Search YouTube "peddling gain no speed and Rear suspension", you'll see my video. My bad for the lighting

As I said above .... first obvious issue would be a broken front derailleur cable. Second would be a completely broken rear derailleur, and lucky it didn't go into the wheel ...

Go on YouTube and look up videos on front and rear bicycle derailleurs ... assuming you plan to fix it.

if you don't plan to fix it, why come here? Just take it to a shop.

Nope, nothing. Oddly enough I'm not surprised you can't successfully post a YT video.

You have enough posts to post a link to the video.
Near as anyone can tell, you don't have one.

The shop couldn't figure out what was going on

That video is no help. You didn't actually shift the bike so we could tell if it was going from cog to cog. Clicking the shifters when the chain isn't moving tells us nothing.

Sorry, but if the shop is looking at the bike and they can't figure out what you're complaining about, I think there's no chance we can help.

Looks like a power problem in the house is more urgent.
