We had electric bikes, and they were so heavy, I didn’t want to take them out of the garage. I love the light weight of these.
My only issue is that it feels as though there is a lot of play in the steering.

Great ride and light for my van bike rack. Fun and easily put together.

That saddle is ridiculous. I replaced it immediately with a usable saddle.
I wish there was a way to get more reach with a different handlebar.
Also wish there was a way to easily make standard panniers fit on the rack.

So far, great little bike. It will work perfect aboard our sail boat.
Fit and finish are above what the price reflects.

I purchased my Marino at the showroom after trying a few models with the super helpful Zizzo folks. I've had it only a few weeks but love it. I upgraded it with the Zizzo derailleur guard and seatpost clamp, added my Brooks saddle, and upgraded the grips to Ergons with short ends.
It's perfect for full time boat life, and fits easily in the back of my car - which I drive less often now that I enjoy using the Marino instead of the car for trips within a few miles of the marina. The pignose accommodates my knockoff Brompton bag with water bottle holders, which really increases the utility of the bike.
While a folding bike will never perform the same as a full sized bike in terms of speed and efficiency, 90% of the time I don't notice the difference and the tradeoffs are more than worth it to have a bike that's so easy to carry and store. No more car bike rack, no more leaving the bicycle outside to rust. Small wheels mean quick acceleration at intersections and agility on shared paths. Time will tell how well the Marino's anti-rust build works, but I'm impressed with every aspect so far and look forward to testing the limits of what this little workhorse can do.

We love the Marino folding bikes for our liveaboard catamaran.

This folding bike is great. Big improvement on my heavier, fewer gears West Marine branded older folding bike. The Zizzo Marino folding bike is well made. My only caution is for seat height for comfortable riding. I'm 5'5....so it's great, but I am apparently at the upper seat height allowance.

I like the ease of folding. I only tried it once but so far so good I like it . Convenience to store it. Cheaper than their sister/brother other brand

We purchased these bikes to take with us on our boat. Heading to Bahamas for 2 months and will need the bikes when we go to the Islands. The bike is so easy to pedal and rides very smooth.

Bike wet together easily. Ride is superb, and the gear shifting is clean and easy.

Our bikes have really increased our range as we are Boating on America's Great Loop. Lite weight, easy to store away, and very comfortable to ride. Our only regret is that we did not buy them sooner.

I purchased the folding Marino bicycle to be used on my cruising trawler. I was very impressed with the fit and finish of the bicycle. I was also impressed on how right out of the box with the ructions. I was literally riding the bicycle in five minutes. I purchased the carry bag and can stow the bicycle on my boat, And it is ready to use whenever I want to. I recommend that reservation.

Came very well packed. Easy to unpack and assemble. Comfortable ride. Should have ordered the storage bags. They are absolutely necessary on the boat.

I've only done some preliminary riding on my Marino. This is my first folding bike. To look at it, (any folding bike) it looks weird and awkward. So I was surprised at how much it feels like a regular full size bike to ride. Great. I was pleasantly surprised to find my bike to be very well assembled with no lose parts and everything well adjusted. My last two bikes were thousands of dollars each and I was surprised at how much I got for less than a thousand. The only thing I will change is the addition of quick release wheels.
