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.

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.

Went to together easy. Maybe I looked in the wrong section of the manual but instructions seemed like they were for a different bike - that said I was able to easily figure it out. Had to add some oil to the kickstand but other than that my son took to it fast and was able to ride and enjoy the bike on day 1.

The bike is really nice, and packaged well. I was surprised that UPS delivered the box in such good condition (only one small break in the box. Unfortunately, the bike I received was defective. The front fork (which holds the front wheel) was manufactured bent. It definitely does not seem to have been bent during shipping, since something like that would more likely happen somewhere in the middle to the end of the fork....and again, the shipping box looked great. Instead, as far as I can tell it was welded crookedly at the base, so that the end of the left fork (where the front wheel bolts on) was significantly closer to the center line of the frame, than the right fork. I'm trying to imagine how that could've made it through the quality control part of the manufacturing process...and I'm struggling! At any rate, parents who bought this bike, please take a close look at the fork alignment. Stand in front of the bike, straighten out the front wheel so that it is directly inline with the frame of the bike, and see if the bike looks "crooked" when observing the fork and looking down the center line of the frame. Incidentally, the fork on our bike was so far out of whack that the reason that I detected it was that I was having an unusual amount of trouble aligning the front wheel (which doesn't really need much alignment because of the hooked washer that's meant to make it easy to install). So, the refund request is in and it's going to UPS tomorrow! (FYI, beautiful bike. If you buy it or already bought it, just check what I suggest you check herein since it's not worth the risk for your kid's safety...and the manufacturer is clearly not inspecting every bike that leaves the factory). (Updated): I had to update this review because I forgot to mention in my original review that the hub in the front and rear wheels made a grinding noise! As if the bearings were already worn. I recalled this as I am still looking to buy a bike for my kid, and was reading the reviews here again, which reminded me of the wheel bearing issues that I had detected. I'm very, very concerned about the quality of this bike. I suggest reading all of the 1 and 2 star reviews here to get an idea of what issues to look out for if you purchase this brand.

My daughter was very specific in the color of bike she wanted, and when we saw this bike we knew this was it. The pink and purple colors look really nice together and a nice contrast to the basic black. Schwinn is a great brand and it is associated with good quality and we found it didn't dissapoint. Our whole family has Schwinn bikes so we always end up with this brand. The bike has an easy grip, as well as easy braking capability and kick stand for easy use. The oversized based in something my daughter loved, she was able to keep her water bottle, sunglasses and some other bits and bobs in there. The height can be adjusted and I think she will be able to use it at least for a few years to come.

El artÃculo en si cumple con las especificaciones y la calidad esperada. Sin embargo faltaban 4 piezas sin las cuales no es posible armarla.

Great bike for new riders. Purchased for my 6 year old and he was fully biking on day 1 without training wheels. Durable and well made. A bit of effort to assemble at first but not too difficult. Certainly getting our moneys worth this summer. Only challenge is bike seat is made of a plastic material that tore after a few falls and have had to replace the seat cover early on. Something more durable would be ideal but was low cost to replace.
