Awesome little bike
4 months ago
My son had this bike for 3 years now and about to pass it on to my youngest. Awesome bike, great geometry. Taught both my kids to ride without training wheels with this bike due to the geometry. Taking the training wheels off there cheap ones was a joke because they just seemed so ill built. They were able to take right off with this bike in a day. It has gone on some trails and lives in the yard, dirt roads, and hay fields. I recommend to any parent looking to instill a love of biking.
Yes , I recommend this product

Small and very hard seat
5 months ago
Bike is great but the seat is very small and so hard that my son who is not skinny cannot ride for 30 minutes without getting off. He is always complaining about it. I went to a bike shop to change the seat but the seat post and seat is all one piece. I try to buy a seat post but the seatpost is very small so they have to order it. Main while, the kid can not ride his bike until this is all taken care of.
No, I do not recommend this product
