Seat post and pedals. The seat post weighs a ton for no reason and the pedals are trash. We love ours , have fun.

That is a bike for sure

That’s a bicycle shaped object. For $50 you didn’t get hurt, but I wouldn’t worry about any upgrades. Just ride it, enjoy it. When you’ve hit the limits on this, look for an upgrade.

I’ve heard good things. For $50 you can’t go wrong.

These are normally around $300 right? Sounds like a good deal

Ride it for a couple hundred miles or a full season and figure out what you want to prioritize. I personally would not drop hundreds of $’s into upgrading this.

I’d say you paid a good price and as long as you enjoy the ride, you did great. Hope you have some great rides on it! Enjoy!

You got a great deal! It’s a surprisingly good bike for the money. I’ve really enjoyed mine. Here are my videos on the bike

Don’t listen to the BSO naysayers. They may have had bad experiences with other Walmart bikes but the G.1 Explorer is a different breed. Enjoy it!
You can also take upgrades from this bike and use on your next bike if you stay with it. Things like saddle and pedals come to mind.
Good deal. I’d probably go through the bike to make sure it’s greased and/or tight wherever it should be. They’re $250 new and weigh about 30 pounds.
It’s not a bad bike. My sister has done she’s been slowly upgrading as a project bike and she really likes it
Cant go wrong with that bike, I put carbon drop bars on mine, upgraded the brakes, and upgraded the groupset to the microshift sword 1×10
Weird flex
