Solid and fun

Posted by Unknown on 21st Jul 2010

We bought this for our son who has just turned 3. He's very pleased with it. It's nicely built and very solid. We had to remove the steering restrictions because it was frustrating him too much, but the steering is still comparatively limited, so no danger of him turning too hard and falling off. Blowing up the rear tyre is a bit tricky because the wheel is so small - you need to have quite a narrow pump to be able to fit it between the valve and hub. That's the only reason I haven't given this a 5-star rating. My son hasn't quite got to the stage of whizzing along on it, but he improves every time. Recommended.
Well worth the cost

I bought this for my nephew as i had seen a few in local shops, the quality if fantasic, beautifully made and seriously cool, he loves it and is definately the envy of the playground! within a day he had mastered it and now flies around even down hills, the perfect introduction to the pleasures of mountain biking!
Fantastic!

I LOVE this bike. My son has used it for a year. He has had so much pleasure out of it. HE can go very fast! Also it has worked. George aged 3 had moved straight to a standard bike with no stabilisers! I'd recommend this to anyone.
Excellent starter bike

Firstly this is a very well made bike, easy to build and very adjustable (you can take the steering lock off and raise the seat as your wee one gets older and more confident).
The real test is how the little fella got on with it. He loves it and shout 'bike bike' as soon as he gets up in the morning. He immediately got on with it and is, at 2yrs, now starting to free wheel a little. This will give him the balancing skills so much quicker than a bike with stablisers so he can upgrade to a bike with pedals at 4-5 yrs.
Looks great, goes great and my toddler loves it. Highly recommended if a little pricey.
