Great bike, but...

"This bike is great for a kid that wants to ride around the neighborhood but it just isn't made for taking on singletrack. It is far too heavy and with the lack of gears even slight grades become too much for kids sized to this bike.

Too quickly outgrown

"We have this bike in 12", 16" and 20" and the problem is the same with the 16 and 20...the chain ring is so small that our kids can't pedal fast enough to keep up on the bike path with their friends who have [...]bikes. The bikes are high quality but become useless pretty fast if you have boys who want to get on with it...." Read Full Review »

"* The frame height allows for shorter inseam, but the 20 inch wheel base allows for the child to grow with the bike and continue to get use.



* I had the pedal break replaced with a free pedal so that my son could adjust the pedals easily when starting out. I had them add another hand break for go …"  Read Full Review »

"Tired of the Costco Superman bikes that my son could hardly ride. We wanted to get him a decent bike and I must say the child flies on this thing.
