Liberté

I've had this bike for a few months and have put a lot of miles on it. I'm glad I did my research before buying because this is the perfect bike for me. I share an apartment and a big bike is not feasible. I wanted a folder that rides like a full size and this is it. I've added a new seat and bar ends for my comfort. I've had other folders in the past and this is miles above. I could have spent $2K for another brand but then I would be scared to lock it outside a store for 5 minutes. Kudos to ZiZZO for building an amazing bike at a great price point.

There are really no words, to adequately describe this bike until you see it in person. It's like looking at a regular horse, then seeing a thoroughbred, or a stallion, it's poetry in motion. She's sleek, she's light, and very fast!!!

Great bike for my wife...a 73-year old learner. Had to adjust front brakes. They did not allow the wheel to turn. Otherwise, great.

Amazing ride! I couldn’t be happier! Thank you!

First off. WOW! My expectation was this would be a quality product but when I opened mine up today along with the trainer and a few other accessories, my expectations were set low. This is truly a well built bike. I absolutely love the paint finish. Everything came in box pre assembled. I did my own check on the brakes, tires, connectors, latch points, true wheel spin and all the bolts and literally nothing was out of tolerance. Added a little air to the tires and was ready to roll. If I have a complaint however, it would be the magnet and metal disc. One of them is slightly bent and so it doesn't make a solid connect when folded and thus doesn't do a great job keeping the bike closed however, it is a very minor fault and nothing I can't fix myself. In the mean time, the included strap works perfectly in place of said fault for now, so I am happy that was included. It's been a long time since I've ridden a bike and it took me all of two seconds to feel like a little kid again. Gears shift amazingly smooth and 4th gear feels absolutely perfect for level roads without cause for any strain I do have to get used to the 20 inch wheels though. It definitely steers fast and has a tight turn radius if you're not careful. In conclusion, if you are on the fence about getting one, just get one. You will be so happy you did. Thank you Zizzo.

Great bike! Can't wait to take it on trips.

Great bike—rides smoothly, looks good (I get a lot of compliments on the bike), folds easily although a bit too many steps, quality parts, and is lightweight! I’m experiencing a bit of an issue with rolling the bike while folded but luckily I don’t need to roll it often. Regardless, it doesn’t detract from the fact that it’s a great bike.

I love the bike,thanks

It’s definitely a road bike if I had to compare it’s like a specialized but not quite a cannondale Im glad I have that xtra gear and upgrades. Very light.even though I considered the forte light. (My wife has a forte). If I could built my own It would be this model with forte weight capacity,grips and seat everything else the same. I love my new little fast bikemy kids as well which means they want to go bike riding with us more often for that reason alone I would recommend this bike

Really nice bike. I only have two complaints. First, the seat padding is a little too thin and it sometimes hurts a bit. Second, the wheels are a little too small, resulting in me flying into the air whenever I hit a bump. Overall, this is a pretty good bike and I highly recommend.

My wife and I love our Zizzo bikes! I bought the Liberte for her. I have an Urbano. They both ride very smooth and have exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to ride these in local parks. Thank you for excellent bikes!

I have had my Liberte for almost a year and am so glad I bought it. It is comfortable, lightweight and easy to transport in the trunk of my car.

I was taken back, after my first ride. It rode as if it was a regular bike, much more than I expected. After reading some instruction, I took it out of the box and it needed nothing. I was off down the street. The quality is impressive. When looking for a folding bike, I found some at lower prices, but you get what you pay for. I feel I got excellent value for money spent. I highly recommend this product. Larry Rancho Mirage, Ca.

This is a fun little bike, with good components and pretty darn light. It runs great right outa the box on streets and does surprisingly well on light trails, too. A good value with a couple of nitpicks. The tires were chosen to keep the weight down, I suppose, but they are awful, with zero ability to smooth out the bumps. Even tiny sidewalk cracks vibrate right up your spine. Some good BMX tires solved the issue to the tune of about $60. Also, the saddle is way too narrow and fit only for a kid because is it presses right up between your hip bones into the soft tissue. Basically unusable. Another $30 fixed that, too. With those two issues corrected, it feels like a whole new bike. Interestingly Lizzo has cheaper bikes with much better tires. Not sure about the saddles. Also, the quick release brakes didn't open far enough to remove the wheels, so I had to loosen the brake pads. Correctly repositioning them takes forever and makes me realize how much I don't miss cantilever brakes.

I gifted a new one to my wife and now we’re riding our bikes together!!

2020 H.S. Grad gift for One of my twin sons pictured. He is the “more selective” type & had searched hrs on internet 2Find the his #1 ~ The Liberte’ is an excellent quick folding bike that exceeded his expectations in terms of Quality , Style , 20 inch Public Trans , Amtrak Commute Standards , Performance & Foldability. Right now , he is taking UC pre~college courses over the Summer & will write the review himself when time permits .

To be honest about this review my daughter turned me on to ZIZZO BIKES. At first i was very skeptical about purchasing a Bike online from a company that was not familiar to me. After much research, reading several reviews and riding my daughters ZIZZO CAMPO i was very impressed. I received my ZIZZO LIBERTE on Tuesday. It was very easy to assemble and after making some minor adjustments to the brakes and gear controls i took it for ride. The more i rode the bike the more i wanted to ride. The LIBERTE is light weight fast especially going up hills and FUN to ride. I also spoke with Lewis in customer support which he was a great help. "Happy Riding"

Love it and the ride is great

Had it for couple of weeks and go to work almost every day. Loving it! Feels sturdier than I thought it would.

I’m really enjoying my bike!!! My wife like it too and she’d like to buy one when it’s available.

Great and so light weight, strong bike.

The Liberte folding bike is amazing I really like how it rides it just wants to goo it is very light weight and easy to ride. It makes you just want to keep riding especially with the Gears makes it really easy for going up hills. The only Downside is the Seat is not as comfortable for long rides but that didn’t stop me from liking the bike. I ended up swapping out the seat for some more comfortable ones and that solves the problem. Other than that I will highly recommend in buying the Liberte I got two of the silver and red ones for me and my wife we love it. Get a comfortable seat and ride on.

These Zizzo Bikes are great quality, I have bought 3 Zizzo bikes. My first one (Urbano) I purchased to bring to New Zealand for 3 months, and it performed great! I left it in New Zealand with family. I bought a second Urbano for back home, and this current purchase, the Liberte for my wife. Both the Urbano and Liberte are of high quality, and amazingly wonderful bikes to ride considering the smaller wheels. They ride just as nice as my Surly Long Haul Trucker that costs 5 times more and doesn't fold up! The Liberte is very similar to the Urbano, with a few upgraded items (Quick release hubs, upgraded bottom bracket, a little lighter in weight)... the wife likes the Liberte, I think I still like the Urbano myself. But it doesn't matter, you can't go wrong with these rugged little bikes! I should add I've accumulated almost 1,000 miles riding on these bikes with no issues, not even a flat tire!

Your products are great.

I have been looking at folding bikes for a while, taking my time in trying to find one that suited me. My last bike got stolen because I didn't have space inside my apartment to keep it, so I wanted my next bike to fold so I could put it away with some ease. I finally chose the Liberte and I'm so glad I did. It's been great so far with every ride. I'm planning to get the indoor trainer so I can bike even when the weather is bad. Thank you for making a great product!

I LOVE THIS BIKE! Honestly can't say enough about it. I live four floors up and needed a bike that was light but durable. Coming from a Jamis, I was hopeful but I enjoy this more than the 10 speed. For starters, it's extremely well made. Genius on how it's constructed. It arrived ready to go - once I got used to the opening / closing, it's a breeze. The videos are helpful and the set up guides informative. The ride itself is amazing - gears and breaks are responsive and easy to access. I slow down over bumps but road ride and light trails are fine (I just go slower). Best parts though - I can ride with everyday clothing or cycle clothes; it's comfortable and I love the portability - it fits IN my car and not on a rack so it can go anywhere which opens up worlds. I've been riding every day since I received it. Everything you've read or seen on line is true. I can't recommend it enough. Other items I have: Cover for winter; lock (haven't used); water bottle/water rack. All are exceptional.

Road our bikes on a 17.85 mile asphalt trail with no problem. And it’s so late that lifting bike due to tree being down on the road was a breeze.

The bike arrived on time, and took only a minute to set up. The bike's weight was a bit lighter than I expected, which is good!  I would recommend this model to family and friends looking to buy a foldable bike.

Great folding bike! Hubs loves it so that we are ordering another for him. The bike seat is def not comfy but ordered a new one and now riding for longer periods doesn’t kill the buns.

Ist ride today. Weather has not cooperated. Have to say 4th gear is my favorite. Need to get accustomed to gears on uphill climb. Definately help in getting in shape. The headlight mount seems to slide alot. Will probably change out seat to a gel larger seat for comfort. Overall very nice bike!

This is exactly the type of bike I’ve been looking for!

The bike was ready to ride right out of the box.

The ZIZZO Liberte' model appears to be a very good value. Very similar to another major brand's model targeted at boaters but sold for much less. Quality of the frame and hardware are quite good and the setup was spot on for the shifting. Added a rack and accessories to make this a very transportable utility bike when my full size road bike would be less desirable for the moment.

The bike is great and sleek. I wish it was a little lighter but i can still manage carry it up my 5th floor walkup with one arm. The saddle on other hand is not that comfortable could use some adjustments.

Very convenient, light weight, and durable.

It was so easy to put together. All you need to do is watch one of the videos on YouTube. Unpacking and minimal assembly took 15 minutes. I put air in the tires and was off. A great smooth ride. Despite the size of the tires, it has a comparable ride to any standard bike. I'm probably going to purchase another one for my wife.

Received bike in perfect condition as it was packaged very well. This is my first folding bike and I was surprised how enjoyable it was to ride. Will be nice to transport in my car with no bike rack needed and only weighting 23 lbs. Highly recommended folding bike.

Great bike. Plan to use for travel and camping.

I'm very happy with the libertE. It's quite light which I wanted. 3lbs lighter than my Brompton. Quality seems good. Great components. The bike arrived fully assembled and pumped tires. Rolls well and folds small for a non Brompton. Getting to fold all the way is tricky but what you going to do. Thanks. Just change the name. how about Rapid or Sprint bikes. Zizzo sounds a bit like washed up tv clown from the 80s.

My road bike was stolen, so I was worried about loosing speed when purchasing this type of bike. But I was pleasantly surprised by its ability to gain speed as I adjust the gears - it rides no different. I don’t even need gears where I live, but now I wouldn’t even consider not having them. I like the simplicity of the design and especially its durability.

Really enjoying this bike! What a treat to ride.

I checked with the Delta agents at the counter, showed them a picture of the bike in a travel bag. Although they were very nice, they kinda laughed when I asked if I would be able to Gate Check that. However, packed in a suitcase it would be only $35.00 . Now I didn’t really have suite case measurements.

I love this bike! Easy to ride, easy to pack and store, and very light. It takes a few rides to get acquainted with the small wheels but after that its a breeze. For any bike rides less than 1h the small size is not a problem at all. In the city, the small size is actually preferable as its easier to move around curbs, stairs, between cars etc.. Great product, highly recommended if you don't have space for a full size bike.

Great bike. Super fast to fold and adjust. Works as advertised and really happy with it. I’m not sure what features or benefits I could get by spending more money on other brands. I ride in nyc and in and out of subways and trains and this thing is a beast!

I love my new bike and so impressed with the construction and the packaging of the product.

I am happy with my Liberte!

The Liberte´is a fantastic bicycle. The ride compares very favorably to my titanium road bike. I keep this bike at a second home where storage space is limited. The ability to ride daily and then tuck the Liberte´away in a closet is perfect. Special thanks to Ben at Zizzo, who provided tremendous support to correct a shipping error. Ben and his team worked through the weekend to solve the issue and get my bike back on track for delivery. Great bicycle, great customer service.

I want instead, please, to be able to tell you either: like it very much, select like it AND love it! Definitely very happy with it and enjoying it.... important issue imho is getting a better seat-post-to-handlebar distance (significant bike and rider dimension), as well as that angle, as well as still being able to fold it as original... I would be glad to review later, too! Thank you!

Robust high quality construction. The eight gears nicely assist ascending the ~700 vertical feet from downtown. It arrived very well packed.

We've had these bikes for a year. Great around town. We've taken them on several trips including a 2 month car trip through the southwest. They were perfect. easy to stow, easy to set up. Rode them up to 40 miles in a day.

Up sides: - I love how small it folds and the overall weight. - The folding components are very solid--no damage or fear of breaking whenever I fold and unfold. Down sides: - The stock seat is insanely uncomfortable--the upgraded seat is a must-have. (My tailbone is still sore from my first ride a week ago) - The gear setup is not right out of the box. Both bikes I purchased do not change gears properly. One was one gear off (shifter shows 1, it's actually in 2. I discovered this when shifting to 8th gear and the chain completely came off). More attention to setup before shipping would be greatly appreciated.

This is my 3rd folding bike. I have a: Xidesheng - China's best folding bike from 2008 16" wheel Dahon 7 speed from 2012 or so 20" wheel I'm enjoying the Liberte. It does seem marginally lighter @ 23 lbs vs. the other two bikes. With it's thin tires and solid construction and rigidity when unfolded it does the trick. I've already saved money on parking by using it after parking my car in a residential area and then biking in to an event. I avoided at least $10 parking. If I keep it up, which I will, the bike will pay for itself in avoided parking fees. I look forward to the fenders being back in stock so that the bike is fully outfitted and I wouldn't get dirty or wet driving through water puddles or in the rain. I understand the FREE Shipping will still stand for accessories.

Great lightweight folding bike. Really happy with the purchase. The only concern is how to get parts in the future.

Sturdy, well balanced, great turning radius

I love my Liberte and will name it soon! My bike shop loved it too and was impressed. I rode with the "roadies" and kept up no problem.... After a tweak with the derailleur, Tony took care of me and made sure all was right in a very timely manner with no hassle and lots of assistance to get it adjusted. After having a Litespeed road bike, I was concerned about whether it would ride well. No worries as I love looking at it and riding it 40 miles first time out!!! I may add some upgrades eventually and maybe even ride cross country some day soon....anything is possible!!! I really love that Zizzo is so affordable and now I can travel so easily without putting on a bike rack.

Very light, great riding bike. Easy to fold and take on the train

Nice bike

Amazingly solid construction. Riding gives no indication it is a folding bike. Easy to adjust for me to ride at 6'2" or my 8 year old grandson. I'm very pleased.
