Now that you are aware of some of the best cycles under Rs. 10,000, it would benefit you to be familiar with some factors you need to keep in mind when buying a budget cycle. Here are a few tips:
- Suspension may seem like an important issue but won’t matter that much if you plan to ride your gear cycle on roads or footpaths.
- Most cycles you will look at will have either 15 or more gears. It is important for you to know that you will need gears only if you plan to ride longer distances.
- It is always helpful to check if the gear cycle you are planning to buy comes with additional accessories such as a side stand or mudguard, among others.
It is also important to remember that buying a gear cycle is easier than maintaining it. Like all fitness equipment, a gear cycle also needs regular maintenance and ensuring the same will go a long way in retaining the performance of your gear cycle.
