Author bicycles: model characteristics and recommendations for choosing

Cyclists are frequent on the roads during the summer season. Thanks to such a means of transportation, they can travel short distances and at the same time do not particularly care about the maintenance of the transport. Today we will focus on a separate brand of bicycle construction, namely: Author.

Author bicycles from the Czech Republic, the main office is also located there. The country of origin is Taiwan, so this product is very popular in Asia. The design and detailing is carried out by a representative office in Europe. The main types of structures are created in the Czech Republic, and bicycles are assembled in Taiwan.

The main advantage of this manufacturer is that the products are targeted at a large number of different consumers. Among the lineup there are both expensive and cheap units. In addition to adults, children are also produced. Author bicycles are distinguished by their appearance and a large assortment, which attracts the attention of buyers.

The history of the brand began in 1990, but then the Author company did not produce its own products, but was only an importer. Full-fledged production began only in 1993, when the company already understood the main vectors for the development of the bicycle market. At first, the assortment was small, and the lineup was simple and had no peculiarities. Over time, Author began to enter the Asian market, which gave a strong impetus to the development of the range and production base.

Czech designers create concepts for future bicycles together with other manufacturers. Such a company is Agang, which provides Author with the main line of technologies. Thanks to them, bicycles meet modern European quality standards, while being inexpensive.

In addition to bicycles, this manufacturer produces various types of bicycle parts, accessories and sportswear. Thus, you can purchase a complete list of things for a comfortable ride from Author.

The main advantage of this brand is good value for money... Therefore, Author's models are popular in Asia and Europe, which allows the company to actively develop.

Modern technology makes it possible to produce bicycles that are durable, reliable and easy to use. The emphasis is on frame design so that the bike can handle heavy loads. Due to their durability and long service life, these cycling models are suitable for absolutely everyone.

Among the shortcomings, it can be noted that the complete set is not complete enough. Fenders need to be purchased separately for some models. And also in order to move the seat forward or backward, you need to purchase a special key for the mount. On older models, the plug is often clogged and needs to be cleaned.
