The product was perfect, but everything leading up to its arrival was insane. I had to call three different times to check on the bike, but they could not tell me if it was shipped. I ordered the bike almost a month before Christmas and less than a week before Christmas I could not find out if it would be in on time. I canceled the order because they did not think it would be in before Christmas. I bought another bike, which is hard to find four days before Christmas, only to find the bike I cancelled in front of my door. They were disorganized, could not answer questions, and obviously cannot handle the overwhelming demand at Christmas time. I returned the second bike I thought we had to buy and ended up with the bike I ordered, but that was after numerous headaches, stress, an hour and a half of waiting time on the phone, and unanswered questions.

When I got this bike, the box had been opened and resealed. There was rust on it, paint was chipped and rubbed off and a bolt was broken. Looks like I got a previously returned bike. I am in the process of returning the bike to Amazon, hopefully with no problems. Buy this bike from a store not Amazon. I purchased a similar Schwinn bike at Toys-r-us and it is a great bike, my 5 year old loves it.

This bike was a birthday present for my 4 year old son. Overall the bike is a good value. But the one thing that is hard not to overlook is the bike’s weight. This bike is very heavy.

I ordered this bike for my son’s 4th birthday because this is the exact bike he wanted and the bike store sold out of it. When the box arrived, it looked like it had been through a tornado – the box had SEVERAL large holes in it and some of the bike parts were sticking out. There was NO outer box, NO protective foam – just a 30 lb bike in a flimsy box! When we opened it up to inspect the bike, there were SEVERAL large scratches, a dented chain cover (to the point the bike would not function if put together), a broken seat reflector frame and a broken reflector. I contacted Amazon, which of course were totally helpful and sent a replacement bike overnight. I asked if they could package the bike better and handle better. The next box arrive in EXACTLY the same condition! Now this bike had many scratches, but nothing that would prevent safe riding and my son was beyond anxious to ride his bike, so I put it together only to find that the front fork (that holds the front wheel) was bent to the point that the wheel would NOT go into the fork. This apparently was the case for another reviewer as well. And with further inspection, the box was also missing a protective cover for the handle bars… WHAT do I do now!!!! Ask for yet another replacement that will likely also be damaged? My son is crushed and I am beyond furious! I LOVE Amazon, and have ordered everything from them for over 10 years without a problem but this particular item is one that I cannot recommend at all. I will try to post photos as well to help other understand.

The bike is decent.
Pros:
*Cool design, and color.
Cons:
*The front brake was totally misaligned rubbing on the wheel. I had to adjust, and doesn’t seem right still, but it’s not rubbing tire.
*Unless you’ve worked on bikes in depth, you prob. won’t figure out how to put this thing together by their manual. I had to take to local bike shop
*Training wheels don’t hold well at all, left side keeps coming lose and I have to tighten with wrench.
*The bike comes banged up , I guess from shipping. Lots of scuffs, looks like a used bike, but haven’t noticed any structural damage, just cosmetic.
- Do yourself a favor, and visit your local bike shop, I would if had to do again. Never buying another bike online again.
