SchwinnKoen & Elm Big Kid Bike

So far this review is for assembly and testing only .. the bike has not yet been given as a gift I will update after active use. Bike came mostly assembled which is great ... I'm fairly handy and experienced at assembling products . It took me about an hour by myself to fully assemble also in part because I didn't have the right size wrench or socket somehow the nuts are a size in between on all my tool sets yet it was still easy to do with pliers / adjustable wrench etc . The bike looks fantastic and has that "BMX" look that kids should really enjoy . Installation included inserting and tightening the seat , inserting straightening and tightening the handlebars and front tires ( important to spend time here to ensure the tire is balanced , straight and aligned with the handlebars / frame ). Installing the foot pedals was a simple 1 bolt operation. Simple adjustments like tightening reflectors and hand brake position. Installing and tightening the seat ( also important to make sure it's straight). The tires came completely flat but firmly affixed to the rims . I filled the tires and so far they seem to be holding proper inflation. The rear brake was almost ideal out of the box so a slight tightening was done on the rear brake cable. The front brake cable was too loose to catch the tire , about 5 minutes of tweaking and tightening and the brake now seems to perform as intended . Bike comes with a kickstand and chain guard already installed which both function well . The bike also has a pedal brake. So far so good will update as necessary.

This bike was a Christmas present for my 10 year old daughter. The size chart was so helpful in helping me decide which size to buy. All of the parts were included, my husband said it was very easy to assemble. Love that the pedals are closer together for her feet, pedaling is so much easier and the bike rides really smoothly. I saw some reviews about the brakes being an issue, we have had no issues with the brakes thus far. The bike is lightweight and comes with a kickstand, which a lot of bikes don’t, so I appreciated not having to purchase separately. Great value for money and functions super well for a fairly new bike rider, and she loves the blue color.

Awesome quality, easy to put together! Our son loves it!

This 20in kids bike is great for those growing kids. Overall the color and graphics are very nice. You do need to supply your own tools to put this together though. It was fairly straight forward to put together and the included instructions helped me tighten up the breaks. I do think there are some issues with quality control as the pedal mounts came slightly bent in. It doesn't affect being able to ride the bike, but it is noticeable. Also, one of the bolts that secure the tire came dented in. The cap that normally covers that bolt during shipping was not on there. I think the cost is a little high as well, but my kids like that bike so I guess that's all that matters.

We got this bike for my son's 8th birthday. He has had it for over a week and he loves it. It was easy to assemble but we were not able to put the training wheels we got separately. We checked before buying it on the Q&A section and it said that training wheels could be use but ours didn't fit. We even took the bike to a local bike store and they said that the axle was too short for any training wheels. In any case my son was determined to ride it and he did it the very first day, so for us it wasn't a really bad thing not having the training wheels but if you really need them, then you probably need to look for something that comes with training wheels. The other thing is that the front reflector light broke on the third day when my son tried to lift the bike and the handle bar turned almost all the way to the side and the reflector light scratched the frame and broke. Overall we think it's a sturdy, good quality bike, serving its purpose and we got it for a good price.

Exactly what we were looking for! We got this for our 7 year old daughter for Christmas. She really wanted a teal colored bike and this really fit the bill perfectly. We saw others and had her sit on and try lots of other style bikes to make sure we would get one she'd be confident and comfortable riding. She's still getting comfortable riding bikes without training wheels (we live in a rural area where there's a lot of dirt and the only place she can ride is in the street which makes it difficult for me to keep an eye on her all the time). Anyway, so I believe she still needs the foot breaks until she transitions to a hand break only bike. This was the only bike I could find that was all the things we needed, right color, and it has the hand and foot breaks. We found that the BMX style bikes were uncomfortable for her because you have to lean farther forward on them to reach the handles. This one gives you a more upright posture while riding and has a more cushioned seat than the BMX style bikes that we tried. Obviously she hasn't been able to ride it much but roll it around the house a bit because it's winter time and there's a lot of snow outside, but it looks like a very well made and sturdy bike that I expect to last for many years. She loves it, and I love it. My husband put it together in maybe 20 minutes or less. Definitely recommend. The price tag was a bit more than I wanted to spend on a bike, but for the quality and it having everything we were looking for, it was definitely worth it. Shipping was fast, no complaints.
