When you spend a little, you get a little. This is a pretty good rule of thumb with most things, and is consistently true with bikes. This bike is worth about £80-£90 in my opinion.
I personally wouldn't ride it to the shop, let alone off road. It has very low end components and will weigh a ton.
If all you need it for is cruising the block, or an odd ride here and there, it will be fine...
Check your local Halfords or other entry level bike shops for comparisons.
Enjoy.

Stay far away from this bike and others like it. When you see warranties like this:
*
The manufacturer's warranty is provided by the manufacturer of each product.
*
Sixty-days against frame failure of bicycles.
*
Thirty-days against parts failure of bicycles and strollers. The manufacturer will replace any parts fails during warranty period.
*
Unless otherwise provided, the sole remedy under the above warranty or any implied warranty is limited to the replacement of defective parts with those of equal or greater value at the sole discretion of the manufacturer. You will be responsible for labor and both way shipping costs associated with warranty replacements.
*
Known liability insurance arranged by manufacturers.
You can bet the bike is junk. Any bike manufacturer worth anything ie bike shop brands will offer a lifetime warranty on the frame and typically at least 1 yr on all parts not considered consumables. Consumables are considered seats, grips, tires and tubes. These are items easily worn and damaged on a bike and thus not covered.
I've seen you posting for a bit and like most have been saying if your looking for a bike to take off road save up a bit and expect to spend about $400 or so on a bike capable of handling off road abuse.
If your just looking for a bike to ride around town check with your local bike shops many of them have commuter bikes starting around $200.

It looks heavy. Cheaper bikes usually are. I wouldn't ride it off-road, due to the weight of the bike and the cheap and breakable components.
