The Lifespan SP 460 is a chain driven bike. It is NOT a smooth ride. I’ve used a lot os bikes in my time an never experienced such an annoying ride. I took it in for maintenance, they adjusted the chain and fiddled around with it and then tried to tell me that wheel vibration was normal. I can’t believe a bike I paid over $400 has such poor performance. I suggest you avoid this brand all together.
