Reviews
Most of the reviews are positive. Foxx products are popular with customers for their ease of use, good quality and rather low price compared to other manufacturers. People also note the variety of products, because, in addition to adult counterparts, you can find children's, women's or simpler options.
Dissatisfaction is caused by the amortization properties of the devices. For some buyers, the front forks are too stiff, so the entire load is placed on the handlebars and hands, which creates discomfort while riding. Also, consumers write about hard seats and heavy weight. The construction is bulky due to the fact that all frames are made of steel.
