Great bike easy to assemble and my daughter loves it

Perfect for a birthday day present.

I am told by the 6 year old girl it was bought for that it is the "Best Bike in the World"I have to say it looks great and is really well made.

I bought it for my 6-year-old daughter. The build quality is pretty good, and it was easy to assemble.The title says it's for children 5-8 years old, but my daughter, who is of average height, couldn't fully reach the ground at the lowest seat position. Also, the brake handles were too far to reach (even when I adjusted), so it wasn't safe to start a ride. Now, when she's 7, she can finally start enjoying her bike

Bike arrived just as described and set up only took half an hour or so, which isn't bad for kids' bikes in this range. Even with my rudimentary DIY skills I was able to build it easily. Fiddling with the brakes takes a little longer, but once you get the hang of it, they are straightforward to adjust. Our 8 year old is now out on it every day and she loves the designs. We even bought a basket to go on the front for her to store extras. Would definitely recommend.

Was skeptical at first due to some reviews stating paintwork was scratched during transit. However my order arrived well packaged with extra protective padded wrapping entirely covering the bike which was in immaculate condition when packaging was removed. Basic assembly took about 20 mins. as instruction manual was very good. A basic multisize spanner included, and the tyres were only half inflated as you would expect. Handlebar and saddle height are easily achieved. If you don't need the optional stabilisers that's job done and you're away, but if like myself you needed them you will need to purchase a pack of 3/8" axle extension bolts (warning do not purchase 10mm bolts there is a difference) even with the correct bolts be very careful when you fit the side protection bracket as it can easily stop the derailleur gears from working correctly.

Although the bike itself was easy to assemble, the twist gears were extremely stiff and there would be no way a child would be able to change gear.I tried adjusting to no avail.Also, the handlebar assembly would not tighten sufficiently to ensure safe useage. Although the Allan bolt was as tight as it would go, I was still able to twist the handlebar......this would not bode well for any rough cycling and could cause a potential fall.I decided to send the bike back and it’s cost me a further £27 to send through the Post office.....something I am extremely unhappy about!!

Nice sturdy bike.
