This is a build-it-yourself bike. At 33 lbs. the 26” version is not exactly lightweight. The frame is aluminum. The bike has a front disk brake and rear coaster brake. It has a “two-speed automatic” gear shifter, whatever that means. I did not find any reference to the total number of gears available, but I hope it is more than two.

The bike automatically shifts gear according to the speed it is going.

From reviews I read, the thing people say is fun about the bike is the auto gear shifting.

I was wondering how they got an aluminum bike up to 33lbs.

I can only guess at steel wheels, pedals and crank.
