Great Bike 5 by .. Mom of 2 boys (Louisville KY)
Got for my 5 year old for Christmas and for the money it is a really sturdy bike. The tires are nice and thick so he has greater stability and he thinks the colors are pretty cool too. Great for a first bike! Wish it had a kick stand though.

My son loves his bike 5 by .. SB mom (California)
We bought this bike as a birthday present for my 4 year old son. He loves it! It didn't take too long to assemble and so far we have had no issues with the bike. It works fine and he finds it easy to ride.

A great first "big kid" bike 4 by .. Martin Quiazon ()
It's a big moment, when your kid graduates from the tricycle to the "big kid" bike. My 4 year old son is nuts about this bike, and now instead of asking to watch TV or play indoors with his toys when we get home, he asks if we can go outside for a bike ride.

There are a few minor drawbacks. The wheels and tires don't seem entirely balanced -- there is a noticeable wobble. The training wheels rattle very loudly and appear to be the most fragile part of the bike. But given that I paid less than half the list price at a local big box store, I really can't complain.

The only real issue I have is with the coaster brake. My son finds it easiest to get the bike going if one of the pedals is slightly forward of top-dead-center. Otherwise, he has to exert a lot of effort to get the pedals going. It'd be easiest if he could just pedal backwards until the pedals are where he wants them, but because pedaling backwards engages the coaster brake, they only go so far before the brake engages and the pedals stop. He'll get better at it eventually, but it made for some frustrating moments the first day we had the bike, so it's something you may want to keep in mind if you give this to a younger/smaller child.

MAJOR DAMAGE 4 by .. Hood Rat (Somewhere in the ghettos, CA)
We just bought this for my 5 year old since his knees were starting to hit his elbows on his trike lol

My son loved the color, the look, etc. so he was a happy camper.

The box says you can assemble the bike in minutes in 5 easy steps, but it took my husband and I about 45 minutes since the instruction booklet is a universal booklet that can be used for many bikes, and so more than once, we had to kind of piece it together using the picture on the box as well as the instructions, but it was pretty easy to put together.

I bought this bike for forty bucks at targ. which is the regular price. Nice bike, but I wouldn't pay anything more than forty for this one.

I suggest buying an air pump with the bike since it'd be no fun having an assembled bike and no air in the tires. I got a pretty good air pump at Target for eight bucks.

update: it's been about a month since had the bike and so far, we've had to tighten the handle bars after it suddenly just slipped forward while my son was riding it, the training wheels are getting rickety, and the even though we tightened the seat as tight as possible, it still seems to get loose very easily.

Good, sturdy bike 4 by .. Brian Blank (Frederick, MD)
I bought this bike for my daughter as a second bike. She's been riding a two-wheeler without training wheels since her fourth birthday and her 12-inch was getting small. Setting up the bike was a piece of cake. It took me about 30 minutes and that's because I read the directions twice. It's a little heavy, but for the lower price that you pay, it's not bad.
