Review: Classic “karate” - Excellent bike to putt putt the neighborhood. I’m 5’11”, 180 and still fit on the bike. I always wanted one as a kid so here we are. It has a front hand brake, and shock absorbing seat. There’s also a front spring shock absorber. All in all it’s a fun bike for big kids and excellent for smaller kids.
Review: Most Excellent - This bike is totally rad. Some things are just artistically perfect.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Were is it made?**
A: China - where else? They bought the rights to the name ‘Schwinn’ and think we’re so dumb that we’ll pay through the nose for what we think is an ‘American-made’ product.

**Q: No stick shift, no speeds, coaster brake? Nice bike, but is not the same as original Schwinn Krates.**
A: Coaster brake Krates WERE available from 70 to 73, no front drum brake which this has.  I bought one of these as although it has no 5 speed rear and shifter,  it was far less in price than an original 5 speed.  It's a bargain.

**Q: Please bring back the 5 speed!**
A: I'm sure this can be easily converted into a 5-10-15-or 20 speed with the right research of parts.
I USED TO MAKE these same exact bikes from old junkyard parts back in the '70s in NYC, they were everywhere!
I myself had a 15-speed I made that had a 20-inch rear and small "Mudgee" bike wheel up front and we'd cruise lovely all over the hood!
Great days... I'm going to see if I can build one again if I have the time. A great hobby for those wanting one. Good luck!

**Q: Is this a limited edition?**
A: In 1999 they made 1,999 of the orange krate replica and they are limited edition with paper work. I’m guessing these are not numbered 🤔
