When things get a little hairy, the KZR has all the stopping power you need courtesy of the front cable-actuated disc brake and the rear linear pull handbrake. The high-profile Vitesse wheelset keeps you tracking straight and true and knobby tires help hold your line. Comfort comes your way with a padded saddle that is easily height adjusted with a no-tool quick-release seat post clamp.
At one point, I smelled burning plastic when it hit me that the smell came from the motor, which was burning hot from overuse. Riding bikes is such a great stress relief and a great way to get some low intensity, physical activity.
To combat some of the weight issues and to beef up the ruggedness of my bike, I added higher-end front forks and installed new “run flat” tubes. Everything was going great until I encountered a 11%, 6-degree incline. Even while pedaling and in the highest level of assist, the bike barely had enough torque to push me up the hill.
One day while riding a local trail, I took a wrong turn and found myself on a black diamond trail with some huge drop-offs. My front suspension forks took the brunt of the punishment and consequently locked up. For the next kent mountain bike couple of years, I continued to ride that bike with the broken forks because standard MTB trails—the greens and blues—don’t require high-end shocks (or apparently any shocks at all). I have this cruiser which rides really smooth, whether it’s around the neighborhood, on the bike trails around Orlando or on the beach in Miami! I’m especially loving my nighttime bike rides with the cool “fall” weather. At least one lane in each direction will be maintained.
The Breezer Bike brand was started in the 70’s by Joe Breeze. He is credited with designing and building some of the first mountain bikes. His first, Breezer #1, is housed at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. The brand has evolved over time and caters to many facets of riding.
Other engines were Yamaha, creating the Yamsel35 so effectively raced by John Cooper and later Norton twins. Seeley went on to develop in 1971 a roadster based on the Matchless G50 engine called the Seeley Condor. You will need to unload your waste and put it in the appropriate bins.
You have 28 days to return your order from the date it’s delivered. I wouldn’t be here today if the old school didn’t pave the way. So rather you had a Kent back in the day, come across one for sale and need some more info or just for good ol’ nostalgia- I present the official Kent thread. Share your builds, photos, stories, memories and questions. I will share the link with Arnold Kamler and Jeff Roesch at Kent who are interested to see any survivors or rebuilds. When my first bike popped a weld, I received a hand me down from my older cousin – a 1984 Kent Ambush.
Our offices will be closed and transit and service schedules may be different. There is an old 7.6-mile NORBA Championship course at Unicoi State Park that was abandoned several years ago. Reviews claim this trail is the most wild and most raw ride in the area due to extremely steep ascents and descents, boggy mud, sharp switchbacks, and dangerous washouts.
