Great bike!
Great bike for my four year old! He’s able to balance well on the bike, can go as fast as he wants, and the seat goes up enough to where hopefully it will fit him for quite some time. My kiddo has had a few falls and the bike has held up well. Would definitely recommend!

Overall a great bike
My son loves this bike! The training wheels can be removed easily, and the fit seems to be just right allowing for adequate stand over height (he is 40” tall). However, for the price point I think a hand brake should be included. Overall a great bike!
