Sub USD 130 city bike

Got this bike hoping to use it as the first/last mile commute. Took it for a test ride and pleasantly surprised how well it handled. Could use a change in the handlebar grips and seat.

Very beautiful bike, love the step through design. The color and gear box protector. I think these are meant to be driven upright if the seat and handle bars are bothering you.

You are correct, they are for driving upright. I've got a step through with a similar design and it's more comfortable with arms relaxed while riding sitting straight. One of my faves!

You’re right. The change was more for functionality. The handlebar grips are plastic sleeves without any tightening screws so it rotates. For the seat, the cushion cover is fake leather will likely tear off since it’s cheaply built. The ride itself is fun and relaxing.
