With their main motto being serving their customers with a unique combination of low price and quality, Schwinn always has new designs to offer which are better than the previous ones. The prices may always be consistent but the quality and performance of their bikes keep increasing with every model.

The Schwinn Adapt 3 9 Speed 20-inch folding bike bike is also one of these great designs. It is quite a low priced bike and is perfect for regular commuters.

Nothing fancy yet delivers to the best of its abilities

The Schwinn Adapt is one of those bikes that may not have particularly fancy aspects or features attached with them yet give a high end performance. It is a very simple and an entry-level bike which ensures a convenient, easy and a hassle-free riding experience. The bike can be folded within a span of a few seconds can be reduced to a very compact size once folded. This further allows easy storage.

The bike comes with a carrying rack which helps the riders ride around with their belongings. It also has a thick nylon storage bag which means one can easily store it when it is not in use. The availability of the nine kinds of speeds means that it is at the rider’s discretion to ride at whichever pace and velocity they want. The rear derailleur present in the bike helps the bikers to climb up a gradient or cruise on a flat surface with great handiness.

Low on the pocket but high in performance

The Swchinn Adapt has 20 inch wheels constructed using alloy which deliver smooth and even riding even on rocky surfaces. The tires come with full wrap fenders which make them extremely strong, durable and resilient. The bike also has SRAM X5 shifters which are ideal for trail-to-street enthusiasts. These aid in intuitive shifting and are perfect for in-line gear indication.

On the flipside though, the bike doesn’t have a kickstand which means it cannot stand without support. It also doesn’t have adjustable seats or handlebars, making riding difficult for tall people. While the wheels may be super strong, however, they don’t survive well on rough and rugged landscapes.
