Love this bike
This bike is great for my son. He really likes to cruise through out yard and this bike makes it so much easier. He balances very well with this bike. It is pretty heavy but also very sturdy.

Great bike, came with a flat tire
Got this for my very tall four year old. Fits her well with room to grow and she loves it. Assembly wasn’t any harder than expected—you have to attach and adjust the seat, handlebars, and front wheel and inflate the tires. The brake required more tuning than I am used to but the instructions were adequate. The included tools work well and are versatile enough that they may work for other bikes, etc.Seems well-made and sturdy but doesn’t weigh too much.My only real complaint is that the rear tire as shipped wouldn’t hold air. I replaced the inner tube and now it’s fine.

Kids won’t ride a two wheeler? This is a game changer
If you are frustrated with trying to teach your kid to ride a two wheeler because the progress is going too slowly - INVEST IN THIS!We had been trying to get my kids to ride a two wheeler since they were 3, and it was too intimidating for them, particularly the balance/fear of falling. This balance bike helped my 6YO and my 5YO both learn to ride a two wheeler within about 1 hour. The key is to get them comfortable cruising around on this thing - which happens very quickly because they aren’t scared of falling because they can just put their feet down. Then, riding a pedal bike is no problem because they know how to balance it. Both of them were able to ride the pedal bike within minutes the next time they tried it. We then used a smaller version and my 3YO was able to pick it up and could ride a two-wheeler within minutes once the balancing part was solved for on the balance bike.This is literally less than 1/2 the price of the Stryder brand and works great.

Wrong product, followed by wrong instructions
I honestly am not sure where to start with this review. I ordered this as a Santa present for my daughter. I was planning on assembling it on Christmas Eve, but when I opened the big box, it had the wrong product inside. I ordered an ice blue balance bike and got a pink and purple pedal bike with training wheels. It was way too late to get the right product before Christmas morning, so i put in a request to get the right product.Amazon was quick to give me a code for returning and send to right product out. It came a few days after Christmas, but at least the right one came this time.Then came my next problem, it was the right product, but the instructions inside the box were for a pedal bike with training wheels. There were no instructions for assembling the bike that was inside the box (there was no overlap in design, completely different). I tried finding instructions on the products website and in youtube, but no luck in either place. I muddled through it looking back and forth at the picture on the Amazon page and at the pieces I had. The worst part was adjusting the brakes (a significantly important item!) with no instructions. The brake pads were not properly aligned to the frame, they wouldn’t grip tight enough to even touch the rim, it was very frustrating trying to adjust them to what I would consider safe for my child with no instructions.The only reason I’m giving this a high rating of 3 stars is because my daughter loves it and has been zipping around the house on it ever since i finished assembling it. If I had proper instructions, it would probably be 4-5 stars.

I didn’t know what to expect but I have been pleasantly surprised
Anyone can assemble this balance bike! Wa hoo (that Was my biggest worry)—but we had the bike assembled and moving all within 30 min!The Instructions were so easy to follow, they provided all of the necessary tools and had a cute little sticker book that came with it. The bike is a true baby blue color, the rubber hand grips are solid and there are safety lights and a bike bell that also come with the bike!We have had the bike for 2 weeks now; still works great! It is light weight but still sturdy! Our child literally had their balance after 5 min—amazing!We purchased a “croco” bike for another child, and have had unfortunately many problems with it, and had to send it back!So, with that said, I think this balance bike is by far the best bang for your buck!

Low qualiry
I consider this bike to be dangerous because the braking system is cheap and can easily become loose , also the bolt can easily loosen by itself.There are sharp edges. The protector on the end of the brake cable fell off during assembly leaving exposed a sharp cut end. Adjusting the handle bars will immediately scratch the paint and requires a wrench to adjust. And yet the seat post has a qick release instead if a bolt. Go figure.

Low quality
Tire has a bubble and front break are terrible your child will go flying forward when pressed.
