I mounted this on my touring bike, and it’s light and easy to mount and adjust. It doesn’t actually hold the bike up unless you are on perfectly level ground AND no one touches your bike. Or the wind isn’t blowing much. Otherwise it will decide to close and your bike will fall over.
Maybe it works better with children’s bikes, but if you have a full sized bike, don’t use this.

I am extremely disappointed. The reviews for this product are fairly good, with only a few complaints. This was what sold the product to me. “WAS”.
One of the less positive reviews reported loose screws. HA. I experienced the complete opposite.
When I received the product I ended up not being able to use it thanks to the main bolt–the part that you are supposed to attach to the bike–being WELDED into the kickstand (photo: [...]). My friend and I STRUGGLED to get that bolt loose, to no avail. All we ended up doing was scratching off the paint on it. We would probably need a vice grip (which we don’t have handy), though I doubt even that would make that bolt budge.
The kickstand I received also did not match the color of the one in the product photo, but that is the least of my worries. I don’t know if ALL of Schwinn’s kickstands are like this or if I’m just one unfortunate person who received a dud among the thousands of kickstands that they produce, so I cannot say “do not buy this product!” One sure thing is that I want my money back.

I only had this kickstand for a couple of weeks, when a small washer fell off. I couldn’t see where it came from, but the kickstand arm wouldn’t lock when you put it down and if you wern’t careful, it would collapse. A week later another small washer fell off and the kickstand wouldn’t work at all. I then took the kickstand off of the bike and found that there is a rivet that holds the kickstand arm in place. The washers that fell off had been holding the rivet in place. I was able to do sort of a fix by peening the rivet end over with a hammer. Disappointing to see such poor quality control from Schwinn. Otherwise the kickstand is very rugged.

I bought this to put on my 6 year olds bike and it works great. Easy to install and very sturdy.

I purchased this to use on my city bike, to which I just attached a trailer. Having no kickstand was a hassle, so I bought this one. The price is great. Unfortunately, on this particular bike, the rear brake assembly is mounted right where the kickstand is supposed to go. Frustrating, but pretty much unforeseeable. Fortunately, I had another bike in need of a kickstand, and it works perfectly. And because it’s black, and the bike is black, I’m fully color-coordinated. Nice. (Still need another kickstand, though.)
