How fast can you go on a comfort bike?

Question

how fast can u go on a corfort bike

its 39.45 pounds

has 21 speeds

Answer 1

You can go as fast as you can pedal or as fast as you can handle going downhill, but comfort bikes are not designed for speed.

I would personally never go over 10 miles an hour or so- they are just too hard to handle at speed.

Answer 2

In order to answer youll need to provide more details. Wind drag, type of road, gears (53x11?, 39x25?), up hill or down hill etc.

Answer 3

Well lots of factors....

but I would think a sustained speed of 16 -18 MPH would be something on that kind of bike. But in normal conditions with semi athletic legs and lungs - maybe 12-14 MPH is more realistic. Are you carrying anything?..Then slightly slower.

Big question will need answering - how fat are the tires? Thinner = faster.

You could get clip on Aero bars to help....with a different position for more comfort & aerodynamics.

Or if you were going down hill I see no reason it couldn't go 30+ MPH.
