Ikea Sladda

[bpsmith]

I wasn't expecting the information in the UK site to be in German

The UK site page for the bike is strange, it has no info about the bike at all, it has a link to the warranty document for the bike and links to helmets and racks to match the bike, but nothing about the bike itself.

Was just messing. I knew where you were coming from.

So where is the web page selling the bike.

There are some on eBay.

They don't seem to sell it on the website, but some members here have seen them in the shops. General consensus seems to be that they aren't very good in the flesh.

You should remember that members here will criticise almost any bike

Well, my bike is a possibly 5th hand 25 year old bso, but looking at the specifications of the Ikea bike I don't find it attractive in the least.

I think one member has said they're not very good in the flesh. Several of us (me included) have actually ridden them and said they're not too bad - for what they are.

Ok, I stand corrected.

Some of you may be aware of this but it’s new to me, Ikea now offer a bike. Looks quite reasonable, along the lines of the Decathlon town bikes. And yes you have to assemble it. Here’s a review:

"Uniquely designed multiwrench" around 3:30 looks like a typical stamped spanner/screwdriver to me, as seen in many 1970s kids bike toolkits.

Why not? Other than the seller, the price and that that rear hub usually benefits from a hack, it looks a fairly good example of the type.

I just don't find that type of bike interesting, but nothing wrong with others liking them.

Girl at work commutes on one.Loves it.
It wont' suit everyone but if some like them and use them that's fine by me.

They have had them in Denmark for a long time, but I have not seen one on the streets yet.

It also comes with a matching cargo trailer.

Its basic, very heavy and in a weird way I like it. If they half the price, they may sell a few.

I would. I saw one in the metal at IKEA Leeds recently and it was all right. Head and shoulders the best non-bike industry bike I've ever seen. Love the modularity, belt drive, coaster brake, two-speed hub. The front carrier looked a bit weedy is all.

And why would you recall a deck chair for “risk of falling or finger entrapment’? Isn’t that the whole point of deck chairs?
