Only has training wheels, no kickstand. Assembling the brakes was difficult and the brake line broke. We returned this bike.

Our son has had this bike for two years and he loves it. Loves the color, loves the braking system, does not want to give this bike up...even though he has almost outgrown it...(very tall for his age) There has never been an issue with the front wheel,not sure why the other posts were having a problem, maybe they didn't assemble correctly.

We purchased this bike only to find that the wheels would not turn. Not sure of the issue, we returned to Toys R Us.

Great Bike. Our son has ridden his for over a year now. No front wheel issues like some of the others have mentioned.

I bought this bike last week for my son's 8th birthday.

PROS:
Light weight - The aluminum frame makes this bike lighter than the steel frames you find on other kids' bikes.
Hand brakes and coaster brake - Having both brakes makes an easy transition for kids to hand brakes.

CONS:
No quick-adjust seat - Adjusting the seat height (or the handlebar angle) requires an Allen wrench.
No kickstand - No kickstand included, but a standard kickstand fits quickly and easily.

Overall, the pros outweigh the cons, and my son loves the bike. Four stars out of five.

Purchased at TOYSRUS and they assembled it. My grandson rode it for a couple of hours and the front wheel started wobbling...now the wheel has frozen up. I've contacted the manufacturer based on the document that came with the bike..this is unacceptable. The frame is heavy but with bad wheel bearings it is of no use.

Don't buy this bike...the front wheel bearings went bad in this bike after just a few hours of riding..this is a common problem with this model. And then try finding parts for it without going through the company...

We bought this in March.
Arrived and put together early April.
By June (not even 2 months after buying it) - the front wheel was making a "clicking"/"clunking" noise as the wheel rotated.

Also note: The front wheel did NOT spin straight & did not spin freely for very long.

Called Manufaturer about this issue.
They are going to send a NEW FRONT WHEEL.
But unfortunately, my son has to wait 4-5 weeks to get the replacement.

I do NOT FEEL SAFE knowing this situation is going on. For the money spent, my son should have at least 1 YEAR or more before issues like this pop up.

Bad BEARINGS!! Such a small part causing problems.
DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!

Son love this bike but today where the petal arms connect came loose and the chain fell off. I turned the bike upside down and heard little parts rattle like 1000's of loose parts. Bike no longer works. Now my soon still has the training wheels on it so you know he did not do any crazy stuff. Lucky me I purchased the extended warranty. [$] back to me for replacement. Bike is poorly made.
