Perfect Kid's Starter Bike
This bike is awesome. It took our child about 30 minutes to grasp the concept of pedal biking. This bike is far more lightweight than it's counterparts. For a small child this enables them to really get a handle on the balance aspects as well as building confidence because they can lift it and maneuver it before actually getting on the bike to ride it. The brakes are easy to use even with small hands. Additionally, the belt drive is clean. Little ones are always touching the chain and getting crud from it all over. Plus, it seems less likely to take off a finger! The price seems high to many. I feel that it's an investment in healthy living. The next kid that gets to ride this bike will be as stoked as the first!

best kids bike ever
We bought 3 peddle bikes for our ready to ride 3 year old. they are all too heavy that he couldn't balance any of them but he was an expert on his balance bike. The DAY we bought this bike within less than 10 minutes, he was peddling everywhere. it weighed less than him so its only logical that it would be easier to balance and peddle on it straight away. Best purchase ever. The handle brakes and belt are amazing for kids as well. This has been a pleasure to own and our second child is getting his now at age 3 as well. Highly recommend their push bike first as well

Great bike for 4+ year olds with real hand brakes
This bike is the perfect bike for 4-ish year olds. We purchased this bike for our trips to Northern Wisconsin (we live in CA). Our son had the Specialized bike 16" at home. After his experience with this bike on trails in the northwoods of Wisconsin, we decided to bring it home with us and retire the Specialized. The big difference is the hand breaks sized for 4-ish year old hands. This makes a huge difference in being able to control the bike on downhills and just generally. It was so much more natural for our son to use the hand brake than the back pedal. In addition, so many people (Dad's, Mom's, older kids) comment on how cool the bike looks. We highly recommend this bike.

Where do you get belt replacements for the belted bike? I live in Phoenix and anything like rubber overtime drys out and is not any good. We want this to last 2 kids, so hand it off to the baby when he gets old enough,.
​We recommend checking with your local bike shop for a replacement belt.
