Overview

The Schwinn Adapt U is a 20-inch wheel folding bike with a 7-speed Shimano Tourney drivetrain, twist shifters, an alloy frame and a rear cargo rack, designed for commuters who need to carry the bike onto transit or stow it in a small space.

Schwinn built the Adapt around portability, with full-wrap fenders and a folding system meant to shrink the bike for storage or a car trunk.

  • 20-inch alloy wheels with lightweight alloy frame
  • 7-speed Shimano Tourney rear derailleur with twist shifters
  • Rear carrying rack included
  • Schwinn Limited Lifetime Warranty

Who it's for

Fits city and transit commuters who need a bike that folds small and fits in a car or under a desk, and boat owners short on storage space. Less suited to buyers who want a plush ride over rough pavement, since the small wheels transmit more road feel.
