REI getting on parts
No, I do not recommend this product
Bought this bike for my kid about six months ago. We didn’t really get a lot of opportunity to ride it. Took it out a couple of weeks ago on an easy ride on a paved trial, my kid had a slight accident and the pedal crank got bent. One would imagine that for this price a mountain bike would handle a simple fall. REI refused to pay for the parts and labor (not covered by warranty). Just don’t waste your money on this.

Great on school commute and trails
Yes , I recommend this product
Daughter wanted a green bike and I couldn't find a good one in craigslist. Then I found this on sale. Tires were fatter than expected but made ride smoother on unpaved paths. Simple gears work well. Overall it turned out to be a great bike.
