Below are some critical reviews about Gama Bikes City Basic Step ThroughI got the light blue. It's lighter than what it appears in the picture.I want to say that this bike came more like 65% assembled. You have to attached the front tire, the basket, the handles, the seat, pedals, the bell, and the most important of it all, the breaks, and adjust them so they are correctly aligned. Not to mention the chain was off. For these reasons I had no choice but to take it to a bike shop. They charged me $75 for the service. Now I ended up spending over $300 for this bike..please be aware of this possible extra cost before you get this bike.If you are okay with that, I recommend getting this bike shipped to a local bike shop so they can assemble for you.The bike itself is pretty okay. It's not heavy and so far functions well. One complaint is that I wish the gear could add more resistance. Going even slight down hill, I feel like the gear is too light.Overall I will keep this bike, but learning from my experience I will never purchase a bike online without knowing how it rides.
I was so excited to get my bike. I opened it and immediately noticed the paint was gouged on one piece. When I tried to assemble it I discovered that BOTH fenders are so bent that the tires won't move if they're on. Also, the kick stand is so long that the bike falls over in the opposite direction.I'm really disappointed as this should be an excellent bike. I don't want to return it as it's cumbersome and hard to box up, but I guess I don't have a choice.
The bike has a nice color and looks great however, the fenders on the frame don't properly line up with the bikes tires and are not very centered, if paying attention you will notice things seem skewed. Construction of the bike was pretty straight forward. Things were fairly well protected minor scratches but that would come with normal wear and tear. Would i buy another one of these bikes for my kids, probably not i would prefer something where i don't have to manually tweak the breaks to get proper stoppage. The handles look pretty but you can tell they are lower grade handle wrap, the grip shift on the right side is meh compared to other grip shifts I've had almost decades earlier. Again its a nice looking bike its okay to ride but i dont feel i would spend 300.00 for this quality. I can go to walmart and spend 200.00 to get something equivelant.

Came with a bent back wheel, but the bike shop I had put it together for me fixed that & it seems to be fine now. The bike shop said the plastic ties were on REALLY tight, which probably caused the bent wheel. It'd be nice if the bike also came with a rear reflector. It does have white reflectors on the sides of the tires, but you have to also add a front light.
great quality and build for the price. Basket can use some work but otherwise looks great, just like the photo!
Overall this bike ended up being a good choice for my daughter with one big issue. The bracket that mounts the basket to the bike is crooked...So the basket cannot be mounted - the nut that secures it is very large and we have been unable to loosen it (it secures the entire front fork assembly it seems).Hopefully a bike shop will be able to do the adjustments for us.The bike itself my daughter really likes the look of and is happy with the feel of the brakes and the ride it gives.
