Schwinn
Discover Women's Hybrid Bike - 700C Wheels (28")

Bottom Line

In spite of a few known issues, this Schwinn has the most to offer on our list when it comes to features and a comfortable, versatile ride.

Pros

Offers a comfortable ride thanks to the swept-back handlebars, 28" wheels, and padded seat. Aluminum frame and 21 speeds make it ideal for casual riding or zipping around town. Has a rear gear carrier.

Cons

Shorter ladies may find it a bit too high off the ground for adequate control. Occasional brake and gear adjustments may be needed and can be challenging for those without bike repair knowledge. Spokes have been known to break.

Bottom Line

For riders who want a bicycle built for 2 and don't mind the high price tag, this sturdy tandem bike will provide a smooth ride and hours of fun once the mechanisms are mastered.

Pros

Stands out for its tandem design that allows most duos to ride comfortably together. In addition to 21 speeds, it offers disc brakes for optimal control. Assembly isn't too difficult.

Cons

A pricey investment. Has a learning curve, especially for those who have never ridden a tandem bike. Somewhat difficult to control when riders' combined weight is over 400 lbs.

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a Schwinn that's fairly basic but affordable, this is the one to choose – it's easy to maneuver and offers an easy, comfortable ride on most surface conditions.

Pros

A well-made bike with swept-back handlebars, sturdy build, and newly-designed frame, all for a surprisingly low price. Earns praise for being easy to assemble.

Cons

Rare reports of gear issues requiring a trip to the repair shop. Not the fastest bike on our list – only 7 speeds. Doesn't handle hills very well.

Bottom Line

If you are on the short side or prefer a bike for laid-back, enjoyable rides, this one is worth considering. Otherwise, it's not likely to suit your needs.

Pros

Though manufactured for girls, this sturdy bike with 24" wheels is ideal for shorter women or those who prefer easy control for leisure riding. Smooth gear shifting. Easy to assemble.

Cons

At least one owner had an issue with the front tire losing air with no detectable problem. Not ideal if you have long legs or prefer a speedier bike – has just 7 speeds.

Check Price
Bottom Line

This bike can handle surfaces and inclines that challenge other models, but you'll have to be on the watch for brake problems that could be pricey to fix.

Pros

Not only is it the perfect size for most riders, but it offers a mountain bike frame and enhanced suspension meant for rough terrain. 21-speed capability; reasonable price.

Cons

The brakes – especially those on the front – are known to have issues likely to require repairs. Assembly can be time-consuming.
