- I found a new Huffy cruiser bicycle at a Walmart store in Orlando Florida that I haven't seen before. The Huffy Marietta, a women's single-speed cruiser bike that features pannier bags, a front basket, rear rack, beverage holder, smart phone holder and a trendy Rose Gold finish. Priced at $168 it's not much more expensive than the standard Huffy Cranbrook cruisers.

with cruisers I think big box is the way to go. Anything over $500 is overkill. They should be reliable and simple.
My claim to fame: looking at the same bike rack in the same Walmart as KevCental, only about 4 weeks earlier
I bought this 3 weeks ago at Walmart for $78! I love it. I am in my 50s and I have ridden up to two hours on paved trails only coming home because it’s dark. It has made me want to get in shape. Get it!
$78 ??
Wow amazing price. I just got mine yesterday for $124
@@katya_velour785 Yes. It was during the height of the pandemic when there were hardly any bikes at Walmart. One day I saw it fully assembled. For that price, I had to grab it. I still have it and am riding it.
@@g.o.2749how do you like it? Just bought for wife. W/ tax/ $168
Love that rose-gold colour.
Are those actual welds around the bottom bracket shell or did Huffy just paint over toothpaste?
Having some experience with welding i love looking at those welds on bikes, it's clearly been MIG welded because that is the faster method (it cannot be used on alu) and whoever welded didn't bother to take of the welding balls (or whatever they are called in english) so the bike get's a cheap look, the welding down there is probably not the best place to reach and so the welder just decided to lay down a birdshit as i like to call it, aslong as the voltage and amp is set correctly it will hold, it just dosen't have the look of a tig welding or a mig welding wih those nice round movements.
Holy crap that's my family and I at old town walking our bikes. Too crazy. Wow I've love your channel
That’s great...and thanks! Were you vacationing or are you locals getting in some family bike time?
Live in celebration fl had ridden our bikes to old town that day
We live about 5 miles from there, awesome place to ride to as a fam
@@jasonroper7154 Lmfaooo
Always a good day when I see new KC content. 65k+ yeaaaaa
2:24 you can see where the slag was left on the seat tube & painted over .. But it is still a pretty bike.
Mens version?
doesn't seem like a bad deal.
The accessories make it worthy of the slightly higher price imho.
Can't wait to see where you are on the comp project. Hope to see some footage before it gets crazy cold. Happy Thanksgiving,man
I live in the Orlando area and it is not as flat as you might think, at least in parts of the area. If you did not get a chance to go for a ride, the West Orange Trail is great and there are several places to rent bikes..
"and lots of people on bikes" ... while 3 people walk their bikes. LOL
Now if it came in a 29" for men and had a rear derailleur for climbing hills I'd be interested
Shwinn Midway.
Beautiful bike that seems well worth the price!
Always learning. thanks Kev.
I've been thinking of the Schwinn boundary as an amateur entry level for trail and mnt biking. Watched your review. Thanks.
22 pound limit on the rack, what if the user bought a case of 16 ounce beer.
Nice accessories to an otherwise pretty normal box cruiser. If you live/use it in the right place it would be a stylish ride
Any bike's worth is going to depend on the individual consumer. Do bags and cup holders and such make the bike worth it? If a person needs bags and cup holders then, to get them after market will make the total price of the "complete" bike more expensive, so it's a no brainier. Huffy is also one of the originals and still capable of making a durable bike. Although, they do also make some....not so much. I'd like to see a men's version of this bike or one like it. Only, I think it would make an interesting old school bmx clunker cruiser type project.
Well I own this bike (and for those of you wondering yes I bought the bike before I found this video) and in my opinion it's a nice bike for my needs. I live two to two and half miles from work I live in the middle of nowhere and the only big hill I need to worry about is my optional am I going to the park to day or not. I carry groceries home on it all the time and the only problem I have had so far is my right bike pedal breaking. So it's great for what I need in short.
The front basket looks pretty good; can the bag portion come off the frame and be carried into a grocery store to use as a shopping bag?
Yes
Yay you uploaded
I love my Huffy Nel Lusso and Lectric XP. My Huffy Nel Lusso only needed both tubes replaced but I took my Dremel and smoothed out the wheel weld and everything else has been going pretty strong. I love not needing the deal with shifting on it and for my strong leg's, I can get it up every hill I have tried, although the one long hills takes me everything I have to get up it and I definitely appreciate the rest on the downhill. I kept the stock gearing. The Lectric is just a blast and both bikes makes me happy while riding. The coaster brake takes me back to my childhood and the Lectric XP, makes me feel like I have my old small 125cc motorcycle. It's just so much better because I can ride on the sidewalk or road, and the fat tires makes slick area's, a little bit more traction, and I can lower my seat so my foot can be planted completely, when I do slide sideways. 10-15 PSI and I am more confident now for winter riding, and I only rode in dusting of snow before. It's still horrible in anything over 4 inches and impossible to ride with anything over 8 inches of snow or more. I don't use the battery at all in snow, I have just gone up to 5th gear. I have been having issues with the gearing and I need to readjust the cable tension and set the end points but that doesn't look hard at all the do.
Just got this rose gold bike in used condition for $50!
No basket, cell phone nor back organizer, tho.
But I am looking forward to cleaning it up and getting my own basket for it.
Not my style, but probably good for where their selling it. Looks utilitarian and a good grocery-getter.
I really like the bag and front "basket" they look super functional... I'd love to have those on my cruiser... I'm gonna look on amazon after this. The bike looks really nice as well... It looks like they had the consumer in mind when they outfitted it.
I noticed a dent? In the front of the rear fender by the chain guard
Possibly. It is a metal fender
that color is actually nice looking to me..not a bad looking bike. Huffy use to be quality many years ago and their pro level bikes were even more so..umm..im talking in the 80s..:) yes im showing my age
For the price that’s a lot of bike
The accessories look to be decent quality. The single speed would never cut it in my neck of the woods but it’s probably perfect for Florida.
Would anyone know about the huffy parkside 27.5 inches 7 speed perfect fit bike from Walmart 🤔🤔 men's version of the bicycle..
Yes! I got one and love it I put a 34 tooth low gear for hills I'm 6-1 and was 280,, now 217 got 400 miles on her need a suspension seat too!
@@markwat ohhh wow thanks for the info there sounds very nice 👍🤔👍
The saddle fabric disintegrated after less than 2 years, all chromed parts are rusting, comfortable but very heavy bike like a typical cruiser.
Thanks for sharing
can you do a review on Temple Cycles Classic Lightweight?
Make a good candidate for a small hub motor electric kit!
Looks pretty decent and useful for the tag price!
That cup holder is pretty cool but it won’t fit cans or thin tall bottles
I got this bike for $68 at Marshall's. Love it!
I had a similar bike I modded with a triple crank and trigger shifters. I wish I could say it rides well but work called me away and it has been in a shed since last February while I've been in NY. Don't worry though, I bought another bike while I'm here and now it's getting cold I'm using a trainer and riding with zwift.
It's a single speed, different spacing on the rear wheel.
@@bluemountaindrivepae you are correct, however, this looks like a steel frame which might be able to be "adjusted" to accommodate. I've seen videos of it. Course if it is an aluminum frame, you would be sol. Also the coaster brake becomes an issue cause it would have to be replaced with rim brakes. I dought disk brakes could be done without major modifications. I do not weld. It's actually a tempting mod except as a guy I would have no use of the bike.
Hey kev, you should review the Shwinn Kokomo. It's pretty neat.
Do a review on the carrea vengeance plz thank you
Kev is in the USA and Carrera Vengeance is a Halfords brand bike exclusive to the UK. Unless he visits the UK he won't have access to one.
The Rose-Gold color is appropriate since the technical term for the "navigation star" is a Compass Rose.
My current e-bike is a Huffy Parkside with a Bafang mid-drive. They aren't bad bikes, but the 6mm drop out threads don't fit the standard 5mm hardware, so you need to pick up new screws to add your favorite accessories. And the "Perfect-Fit" frame doesn't fit, so I needed an offset seat post and new handlebars to make it fit.
Appreciate yr video & all the info. Just started looking for a good bike. We’ve moved where I can start riding again. I was hoping to get a very pretty retro looking bike & I am starting to like the look of this one you jst showed as well.🤔 The internet keeps referring me to the one called “beach”, not sure about it. I live in a rural area of Missouri & that is a tad bit bumpy & hilly. Sooo, jst reading & researching about them all for now. Might be, I will have to take it to a bike path instead which really wld be sad to do. Ok, well Im rambling now & need to stop, lol. Any-who, thanks again, really helpful video & right when I needed it too! Thanks! Hey, one more thing, if you do happen to see this. If you know of a place in America that has a retro looking bike like what Im wanting, please point me in the right direction. As long as its in the price range of $200, I thank you so much. 👍
I’m a sucker for rose gold. This is a very nice cruiser, though I’m not into cruiser bikes, but it’s definitely good for climates like Florida. The accessories are a nice touch with the basket and rear sacks. But at the end of the day, I’d still ride a mountain bike.
Hay man do me a solid and Review some of those Target bikes ,The Ascension is a Target exclusive,I Assemble for Pacific Cycle
I bought this bike. Waiting for it to arrive!
Could you do a quick look over on the Mongoose Excursion? It's on sale for $84 at Walmart on black Friday.
I just found one on clearance for $90! Love it for this price 😁
You should have gone to the paved train trails in the Orlando area.
Can I put my 5 lb dog in the front basket? How many lbs can it carry?
I think it's a pretty good deal for an all in one, near to home, infrequent user. Maybe pedal down to a farmer's market or something.
Yeah Ice Age where did some of those components or quit spending on Amazon and looking forward to the Black Friday sales maybe they'll be a mongoose longtail under the tree for me get a 6-inch Christmas tree 4 foot bike I don't know if it'll fit
Those frame welds look messy but those wheel rims look a bit more interesting with what looks like a slightly wider rim with staggered spokes and a slightly curved middle section. Looks better than the typical super cheap rims with a middle ridge. They look like they could be a bit stronger than the norm.
Seems a missed opportunity to not fully enclose that chain as it would then be protected from rain and you could oil it and forget about it for quite some time. Nowadays people are constantly cleaning and oiling their chain but in the past bikes had fully enclosed chains and you could pretty much not touch the chain for months of use. Surely one of the benefits of a single speed or hub geared bike.
I keep coming back to those frame welds in my head, if they really don't care how poor the manufacturing of the frame looks can you fully trust it to be strong and safe. It looks like someone on their first day of welding frames.
Were is the 80cc kit bike
Still in a box. It became less important once eBikes started becoming more affordable.
@@KevCentral but gas is King
Orlando, you were one county over from me😂
I purchased this bike and I really like it. However, I wanted to know if the seat is supposed to move when riding
Seat shouldn’t move while riding
How much longer for the al comp build video? I honestly can’t wait!!!!
Do a review on the ancheer 350watt orange
Just bought this beauty and I love it.
Congrats! Nice looking bike
Hey Kev... I've noticed a lot bike videos on you tube, you and I watch a lot... 👍😆
Could you review a decathlon bike?
If I ever come across one
@@KevCentral Does the US have Decathlon Sports Stores? . If not your missing out on some genuinely high quality bikes & parts/accessories at really affordable prices.
The other one we have here in the UK are Calibre bikes from Go Outdoors. Get really good reviews, worth a look at.
This bike is $268 now in a Walmart near me in Atlanta! I want it 😏
Great videos Kev!!!
Nice doesn't look bad
I think for a recreational rider this bicycle would be fine. All those extra's do add up. To purchase them separately would cost more.
I would like to see a Huffy Scout in another Walmart in-store video. The bike comes in at $148 with dual disc brakes.
The accessories seem to be relatively high-quality (padded panniers, removable basket/bag, metal beverage holder). The design also looks kind of nice, though probably more for female riders. Overall this looks like a decent package for strictly casual gliding along even more strictly flat streets.
What's with the mtbs the viewer could choose
I’m not sure what you mean
My Walmart has had some good looking bikes lately. Too bad they were all outside being rained on.
That odd compass rose graphic... Somebody wanted to stay away from Schwinn's lawyers lol!
When is project comp gonna be done
Once it quits raining so I can get some useable footage
I think it's a good price considering all the accessories that are standard on the bike.
What’s up kev!
Please do a review on schwinn Kempo please
If I come across one
you should do a review on the huffy scout its 150$ befor tax
Totally not related to this bike, but my bike. I bought a dnm air shock for my hyper hydroform and the top rear pivots behind the seat tube are hitting the frame when the shock is compressed and I don’t want it to crack my frame. I’m buying a bigger Rockshox deluxe to try to get more travel before the bike hits the frame but I need a fix for the problem. Any suggestions?
What travel length DNM did you get?
KevCentral 190, and I’m about to buy a 205 Rockshox deluxe
KevCentral idk what to do 😢
I liked the video 👍👍
Throw on a nexus hub and this might be alright. I like it.
Its a pretty bike. 👍
WOW BUENA IDEA ESA BICICLETA, AHORA UNA PARA HOMBRES CON LAS BOLSAS ATRAS Y LA BASKET ENFRENTE. GOOD IDEA 😉😉
I kind of want a mens version.
Nice bike!
I have a 2 mountain bikes with a total worth of about $10,000 not counting my gravel bike but I still find myself glancing at the bikes whenever I go to Walmart.
It's hard to believe that rack is only rated at 22lbs given how big those tubes are. Buying those racks and basket separately is going to set you back like $50, not to mention with the panniers. So for what it is, it seems like a decent deal.
The 22 lb. limit is just for legal purposes, I'm sure. I actually sat on the rack, and it didn't budge at all. I am 125 lbs. I think you could actually carry a small person on the back, just like we did when we were kids.
@@BEEBEE159 Do you own this bike? If so, what do you think of it?
@@tarstarkusz No, I don't own one. I just saw it in my local Walmart, today. It looks like a very sturdy bike, and good quality. I am pretty much an expert on bicycles. I ride bicycles as my primary form of transportation. I ride on the street, fast, and long distances, upwards of 25 miles every other day. I only ride my motorcycle, when I'm too tired for the bike. Also, I do all maintenance, repairs, and customization myself. So with all my experience, riding literally thousands of miles on my bikes, I think this is a great bike, and the price is a bargain. I am looking at this bike to put a 2-stroke engine kit in it. I would be cutting the frame to modify it of course. In order to put an engine in a bike, the frame has to be strong, to handle the vibrations of the engine; therefore, that's my main concern; and, from what I saw, this bike is really strong. Sorry to ramble on; but I hope the info was useful to you. Take care...Oh, and I'm an old guy, by the way (50 yrs. old), been around the block a few times.
@@BEEBEE159 I'm in my early 50s as well. In my state they have basically outlawed engines on bicycles. You basically have to register it as a scooter and get custom inspections, keep insurance on it etc. You can only do pedal assisted e-bikes. They suck because they are too much money for a toy. Plus, where I live, in Philadelphia (Lagos on the Delaware), it would have steal me written all over it.
@@tarstarkusz I live in Florida; and we still have a lot of freedom. Even motorcycles don't require insurance, as long as you wear a helmet. I don't have insurance on my motorcycle; that's the main reason I ditched my car. Now, if you don't wear a helmet, like a lot of Harley riders, then you must have insurance. Regarding motorized bicycles, I know a guy in my neighborhood who rides a 2-stroke bicycle that goes over 50 mph. He said the cops don't even care. He even asked the cops about his bike; and was told they don't care about motorized bikes; they have bigger fish to fry. On craigslist, I've even seen an indy car that was completely legal to drive on the street, here. I've also seen a motorcycle that was made to look like a rocket or missle, literally; and it's street legal. lol. Theft isn't much of a problem where I live, either, as long as it's locked in a sensible spot.
Front tire easy peasy!
The frame geometry on that bike is weird. The stem is way more vertical than the down tube. The rest of it just looks like a less retro Nel Lusso trying to be a Japanese-style Mamachari.
It’s a cruiser. No need for slacker headtube angles.
Do the Schwinn taff brother
I live in Orlando😁 Still have the mongoose fat bike! Most people ride beach cruisers or hybrid gravel Bikes. Then you get the annoying road bike people😆
A nice twenty footer.
I like the one that is locked around the 4 foot pole and the top tube. Talk about the wrong way to lock your bike.
Perfect bike for the price...
I’d much prefer a Murray Ladies Single Speed bike over a huffy.
I live right by orlando
Yup that's junk made to look fancy. Don't let your eyes deceive you.
Sunshine
I'll just get on Marketplace or Craigslist and buy a used one. Get more bike for less money.
Needs a 3 foot SISSY bar. Gotta uphold the name
HuffyDavidson. 1inch threaded fork won't cut it. Should be outlawed with all the cheap parts.
Y'all know the special people put those bike's together. Watch out
😵🔧🔧
One piece cranks are heavy junk and you can't get good half inch spindle pedals.
True enough..Unless you have a pair of 1/2" kkt lightning pedals still stashed in your parents basement from your bmx bike..lol..
Odyssey Twisted PC's are great pedals for the money. Plastic, but tough.
MKS makes 1/2" pedals or you could go find some on an old bike and restore them.
Great bike except for being a single speed
I'd like to see it with a 8 on the back
Comment
Indeed a Dreadful bike .
Can you review the Bazooka Bikes Cruiser Bike. Its a foldable bike with a belt drive.
Not familiar with that them
I don't like the look of that rear rack. 22lb limit is a hair more than the cantilevered seatpost-clamped el cheapo racks. The lack of ability to swap it for a stronger one kills it, honestly. I don't see this as being such a good deal because of that. Someone who needs a rear rack would want a stronger one, someone who doesn't would benefit from it not adding extra weight and cost.
PS: Think you could go thrift store hunting and see what you find at some point? Would like to see you do an "old vs new" comparison - especially since most I see in those are big box bikes from 10-30 years ago. If you get lucky you might even be able to get multiple bike review videos out of one trip.
Thanks for sharing
