The Zike Saber has solved a few big problems in the Stand Up world. First, the cost. The Saber is the most affordable Stand Up we’ve reviewed. It comes in at about half the price of the next most affordable option. The other solution they’ve provided is a stepper bike that rolls backwards. This doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it actually is. Most stepper bikes do not role backwards which is a tad annoying, but this also speaks to the engineering of the Saber. It looks to be a pretty simple bike, but the mechanics are thought out to provide a good riding experience. The Saber shines brightest as a fun, recreational bike for teenagers and adults. However it can definitely deliver a good workout and could be used in fun biking events, or for commuting to work or school. There are plastic guards in place to keep pant legs out of the chains. The long foot platforms allow the rider to choose a foot position that suits their style. Standing closer to the front of the platform provides a more upright riding position and a more shallow pedal stroke. This is the more recreational and comfortable position for cruising. Placing the feet closer to the rear of the platforms gives a deeper pedal stroke and puts the rider in a more prone position placing more exercising effort throughout the arms and hands. This is a more aggressive position that is good for climbing. Another big win for the Saber is the flexibility for terrain. It’s great on paved trails and asphalt but can jump onto dirt without any problems. The pedals are not independent of each other so some practice riding before hitting any aggressive dirt would be a good idea. The response the bike delivers when turning in dirt can be dependent on the weight distribution of the rider. This can be affected by which pedal is down when turning. Ground clearance can also be affected by the same. Usually not an issue on paved surfaces but could be on uneven terrain like unimproved dirt. Although the Saber weighs in at around 50 pounds, it doesn’t seem that heavy. The bike is small and easy to move around. The frame design should allow it to fit some off the shelf racking solutions making it easy to transport. The weight also doesn’t seem to affect the performance. Since this is a more recreational and exercise bike, it’s not expected to be built for speed. The tires are 45 psi which means a softer but more recreational ride. The weight also doesn’t seem to affect climbing since the Saber does great on moderate hills. The Saber is a great value and priced commensurate with it’s performance in the market.
