The trike is well built and didn't take any time at all to put together.Can't keep my son off it!
I think they spent 70% of the cost to build this bike on the decals instead of quality parts. Every time I turn around something is coming off or falling apart on the stupid thing. The bike seems rickety when my son rides it. It makes me nervous just listening to the thing go down the road. We've had the training wheels fall off...the handlebars get crooked...the pedals come off multiple times (like they unscrew themselves from the bike because they don't turn easily enough on their own)...and today the chain fell off. I have owned bicycles since I was a kid and spent lots of time riding them, and I have never had a chain fall off a bike. My son rides his bike when I go on my morning walk, and it seems that every day or two, I have to fix something on the stupid bike before we can go on our walk. Never again will I buy a bicycle that has decals on it from some popular figure in the media because they spend all their money on that rather than spending the money on building a quality item that is worth what the customer pays for it.
I bought this bike for my 4 year old son.He already learned how to ride without training wheels on his 12 inch bike, so we didn't need the training wheels that came with this bike.My one complaint about this purchase was the directions for putting it together.It came with a thick, very generic instruction manual that didn't offer me much help at all.Fortunately there weren't too many pieces and unless you've never seen a bike before it was pretty easy to figure out.Took maybe 30 minutes or so?The chain also fell off a few times when he went over bumps or off the curb, but we moved the rear wheel back and it took care of the problem easily.My son's main complaint was the lack of a kickstand but I solved that problem with a $4 one from Target that works great as an add on.Things I like about the bike are that it's basic and simple for a beginner (no hand brakes to confuse things), it is lightweight, and nice looking.One note - My son is constantly making skid marks on the sidewalks and driveway and I was shocked to see that the back tire is already balding a bit.Oops!I think that's just his fault though, not the tire.
I bought this bike for my three year old son for Christmas. It was simple to assemble and easy for him to ride. The only thing that was remotely hard was getting the brake cable adjusted, I suppose that I'm not mechanically inclined on brake cables.
My husband and I researched bikes pretty thoroughly for our 4 1/2 year old son.He is a HUGE Steelers fan and this bike was just perfect for what we were looking for.The packging kept the bike from being scratched and it was easy to assemble on Christmas Eve.The frame, seat, handle bars and training wheels are of great quality.Of course he is not some professional biker, but he loves to ride.The little wheel inserts are a little annoying (but our son LOVES them!!) so I just taped them in and they are much better now.Overall, this is a great bike and a great price.
I got this bike for my son's 7th birthday and it fits him perfectly.I even coast around on it so that tells ya it withstands some weight (although I'm only 160 pounds).
Well, it's a cheap bike and it shows. The front wheel is chronically loose and the rear wheel has a lot of friction. Also, the rear wheel is extremely out of alignment. Unfortunately, this is typical of bikes in this price range. I bought my daughter a Groovy Girls 16" bike a few years back that had the same problems. She dealt with it for two years, but I think this one is going back. The only good thing about it is that it's very easy to assemble, but maybe that's because I've had so much practice over the years.
This bike is exactly what I was expecting. I can't find 1 thing wrong with it because it is perfect :P
