Consumer Description

THIS BIKE HAS A PROBLEM SHIFTING INTO 2ND GEAR. WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE BIKE CONSTANTLY REFUSES TO GO INTO 2ND GEAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN THERE IS TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU AND THEY EXPECT YOU TO CONTINUE TO MOVE FORWARD. HAVING TO FISH FOR 2ND PUTS US RIDERS IN JEOPARDY. DEALERS ONLY STATE THAT IS IS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE BIKE. THIS CHARACTERISTIC PRESENTS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER FOR THE RIDERS OF THIS BIKE AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO CORRECT IT. *TR
