  • Easy to assemble

  • This is a durable, high-quality training bicycle that offers excellent value.
Color: Pink Size: 14-Inch Wheels Style: Elm Basket
This Schwinn kids' bike is excellent! The SmartStart Ergonomic Design and the adjustable seat are its best features, making it easy for my grand daughter to ride and ensuring it will last as they grow. I appreciate the wide range of sizes (12-20 Inch) and colors. A perfect training bicycle for ages 2-13. Highly recommended! ... show more

  • Great bike
Color: Pink Size: 16-Inch Wheels Style: Elm Basket
We got this one for our granddaughter's fifth birthday and it was a hit. It was super easy to assemble and the design and sturdiness of the bike was excellent. Schwinn has always been a good name for bikes so I felt this was a good choice for her first two wheeler. She had an easy time riding and loved it. In fact, it was such a hit that we bought a second one for her sister who will be turning 3 this month. She's tall for her age and loved riding her sister's bike. She chose a different color and is really happy with it. Only downside is the lack of a kick stand which we will need once the training wheels come off. It would be nice to have a matching stand rather than the chrome color that can be purchased separately. The basket is also a bit flimsy and could break after several falls once the training wheels come off and the bike hits the ground. These are all minor inconveniences as the overall quality of the bike seems really good. It's only our first month so we'll have to see how the two bikes hold up after this summer. ... show more

  • 4.5 stars, kid loves his first bike!
Color: Black Size: 18-Inch Wheels Style: Koen Number Plate
The media could not be loaded. Bought this as a first bike for my 6yo. He’s 3ft 11inches tall and the 18 inch fits him perfectly, with a little room to grow. The bike is black and sleek. Tires work well. We had to add more air into them prior to riding it. Training wheels were super easy to install and take off when my 6yo was done with them. He learned to ride two wheels on this bike. It rides smooth. It’s a bit heavy. Even for me to lift on the bike rack but I manage. My kiddo can pick it up when it falls on the ground. Just not the lightest bike. Docking a half star because assembly went along great until the very end when we had to make sure the brakes worked. The instructions were poor for troubleshooting the brakes and a screw was stripped prior to us assembling it. It did take two adults to assemble in less than an hour, plus we took it to a local bike shop to have the brakes checked. It was a minor annoyance; still recommend this bike. ... show more

  • Outstanding kids bike for the price.
Color: Red Size: 18-Inch Wheels Style: Koen Number Plate
This 18" bike was purchased for a 4.5 year old (46" tall) who is riding without training wheels. Despite reservations that this bike would be too big, it is the perfect size with the seat down all the way and there is plenty of room to grow. Assembly took about 20 minutes and the only tools that were needed was an Alan wrench, socket set and Phillip screwdriver. Most of this time was actually spent unpacking the bike which was wrapped heavily in cardboard and other protective material. Actual assembly time was closer to 10 minutes. The only fine tuning required was the front break and everything else went together smoothly. I liked how the handlebars are adjustable so I was able to angle them inward for the shorter arm reach. I did remove the plastic number plate off the handlebars because I didn't like the look. Otherwise this is a sharp looking and sturdy kids bike that should be good for two to three years of use. I also liked that it came with a kick stand which most other bikes tend to come without these days. This is a shout out to Amazon Warehouse Deals for a Used - Very Good item that only had a banged up box and otherwise appeared brand new for $60 less than a new bike. Most sizes and colors had numerous items on Amazon Warehouse Deals so there is a good chance you'll be able to save some money on this bike. Funny thing is this item actually came with two sets of pedals, when most items tend to be missing parts, so if you get this item and are missing pedals let me know and I've got you covered. ... show more

  • Perfect Proportions
Color: Red Size: 14-Inch Wheels Style: Koen Number Plate
I bought the red version from Amazon Warehouse (Like New). The box had been opened before but the bike was not put together before. The number plate was missing a screw and the sticker on the front was scratched and ripped. Not a huge deal. The bike went together easily however some things needed adjusted. The steering tube had a notchy feeling so I backed off the top nut a half turn and that fixed the issue. The chain and rear wheel (pre-assembled) were also very tight but I was able to loosen that up a bit. The rest of the assembly was simple and I didn't need the manual (it's a bicycle, not a rocket engine). As for the ergonomics and the SmartStart system, I think it's fantastic. This bicycle looks like it was made for a child's body. It's not all scrunched up like most children's bikes and the proportions are perfect for my son. Really impressed. My son is 42" tall and has an inseam of ~17 inches. The 14" bike is perfect for him AND he has room to grow. He's able to put his tippy toes down which gives him confidence and he still has enough room to comfortable pedal. VERY happy with the purchase. This is the perfect child's pedal bike and the price is likely the best on the market. HIGHLY recommended. ... show more
