Schwinn Perla Womens Beach Cruiser Bike, 26-Inch Wheels, Multiple Colors

I read reviews and was not surprised by this bike. It is built solidly as I would expect from Schwinn and was not crazy hard to put together. I did have to adjust the derailer and it was simply a matter of turning 2 screws. Instructions are in the manual for everything you need to know and there is a customer support number provided as well. Ride quality was good. Seat is comfortable, though the seat is white so shows dirt easily. Brakes were noisy at first but after several rounds of not hard braking I was able to build up enough on the rims that they are quiet now. Gears shift easily after the easy adjustment. I purchased accessories including a basket for the front and it was easy to fit these as the design can accommodate a large basket in front. My bike did have some scuffing (can easily buff out) and a few minor dings. I plan on contacting Schwinn to see if they make a touch up kit like you would get for a car. This does not bother me as it was overall I'm good shape upon arrival. It does include wheel and front/rear reflectors which is something I wondered before I got it. Tires needed minor inflation so be prepared for that. I will update my review if anything changes, but I am happy with the Perla. The "blue" is definitely a mint/sea foam color which is my favorite. I recommend the bike!

Très beau vélo, arrivé en excellent état, malgré que la boîte était brisée due au transport probablement. Le vélo était intact, tellement tout était bien emballé. Par contre, si vous n’avez jamais touché à des outils et que vous ne connaissez pas vraiment les vélos, je vous conseille de demander à un expert ou une personne s’y connaissant un minimum, de le monter pour vous, parce qu’il y a plusieurs ajustements à faire, comme l’alignement des roues et l’ajustement des freins. Le guidon est un peu large mais c’est le style du vélo et il suffit simplement de s’y habitué, sinon il est parfait pour les petites promenades tranquilles, mais assurément remarquées, avec sa magnifique peinture rose nacrée et ses petits détails vraiment très féminins, vous l’adorerez !

Although there were issues with the transaction, my bike finally arrived. Now that I’ve put it together and had a local shop tighten and check my work, I am sooo pleased with this bicycle. Sleek and comfortable. Smooth riding all around. I would suggest assembling using the manual alone that comes with it. And I could not find any video for this model specifically, and there really should be one. But after approx 9 hours, I finally had it put together. My wrists are not as strong as I thought and I was unable to tighten the seat and handlebars appropriately, but a local shop helped with that. The instructions for aligning the brakes were also apparently confusing. I had them perfect according to the shop that double checked my work for me, but not according to the instructions. So I guess I would also suggest getting a second opinion on your work after putting it together. And maybe have a professional deal with the brakes right from the get-go. And DO test drive in a highly secured area just in case the seat and handlebars come loose at the same time. Lol. Hey - everyone does know to do that, right? Overall I am THRILLED with the final product! Gotta go for a ride now 😊

We paid to have the bike assembled, so did cost extra but it is a great bike. It is bigger than I anticipated, at 5'1 it's a bit tricky to get on and off. Rides great, seat and handle bars are comfortable. The pink colour was what we were looking. So far, great bike.

Bike arrived with partial box open and bike was dented. Scratched. And had missing bolts. All I wanted was a nice bike to take my son for bike rides with. Not impressed. Can’t even put the seat on because there’s nothing to attach it too...and the back tire WAS FLAT!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡 Also my front tire is warped.
