RoyalBabyKids Bike EZ Freestyle Training Free Balance to Pedal Easy Learning Bicycle, 12-18 Inch for Toddlers to Big Kids

Ok let me start by saying this is the 3rd bike I have purchased for my son in the last 2 summers. I got him a Schwinn for his first bike and the part where the pedals connect to the bike fell apart after a few months of use. So I bought a bike at Walmart and that bike again fell apart the same way after a few months of regular use, not abuse.So for my son’s 6th birthday I researched on Amazon and read a lot of reviews and decided on this bike. I am so happy with this bike and my son loves it too. Let me explain.This bike is solidly built and feels very nice to handle. Set up was a breeze. The best part of this bike is the ease with my son learning to ride without the training wheels. We had him ride it like it suggests without the pedals on and after he was zooming around with the use of his legs, we popped on the pedals which is a super easy to put on and take off. After 2 days he was riding this bike without the training wheels and we are so proud. My son was so happy to be riding his bike like a big boy and can now ride with his big sister and keep up. I am so thoroughly impressed with the quality of this bike and the ease of learning to ride without training wheels. It’s worth the extra money to buy this bike versus the cheaper alternatives online. The bike is well built and should last a long time. Seats and handle bars are easy to adjust as your child grows too. The bike is super nice looking in person and certainly helps a child learn to ride without training wheels super quickly and successfully. I wish I had bought this bike the first time around as my son would surely had been off training wheels even sooner then 6 y/o. Don’t hestitate, this picky mom approves and I highly recommend this to other parents with kiddos who need a solid bike especially one for learning without the training wheels.We have had this bike for a month and my son uses it almost every day and it rides and looks just like it did when we first got it. Will update if anything changes since I rely on others reviews for making educated purchases on items.Update: We are now a little of 3 months of owning this bike and regular use. It is still holding up strong. Nothing has started to weaken or fail on us. The part where the pedals attach on to that moves the wheels with the pedal movement is still solid and sturdy. No signs of breakage like our other bikes did by this time. Still extremely happy with this bike and have recommended it to a few other parents who were happy to hear about this awesome bike. Hope this helps. 😊Update: This was our second summer with this bike. My son loves it and it still looks and rides great. I just am so happy buying bikes every couple months is no longer a trend i’m stuck in. This bike will certainly last until he has outgrown it. This has been a great purchase. It allowed my son to learn to ride without training wheel within days and has been a great bike almost daily use. Cannot go wrong with this one. Hope this helps you in making a decision if this bike is for you. I highly recommend to everyone with kids especially ones who want to get beyond training wheels.

The media could not be loaded. Amazing bike! My 5 year old had been using a Walmart bike last year. I tried to teach him to ride without training wheels but he could never get the balance. The year prior he had been using a balance bike. But it’s been over a year since he’s used it. I saw the reviews for this bike and decided to give it a try. After putting him on the bike I noticed he immediately had his balance. Less than 1 hour later I put on the peddles. He protested at first and struggled with peddling but within another hour was zooming around. This bike is well made and proportioned. The slightly wider tires make a difference I think too. If your young one is struggling with his current bike, try this one. The handle bar construction is a little strange and can shift if they wreck (just straighten and continue), but other than that It’s amazing.

These are GREAT bikes, hands down one of my best Amazon buys. That being said, there's assembly issues you need to know.On the positive side (which imo far outweighs the negative) these are just well made bikes. We bought one each for our 5yo twins. The bikes were on the brink of being too big, but I figured worse case scenario, we'd garage them for a few months. No need. Having only trike experience prior, both my kids got on and went. They're super sturdy, with minimal wobbles on a good surface and definitely inspire confidence. They look sharp, and really are just perfect for the beginner rider. My kids also think the water bottle is the coolest thing since toast, so I'd recommend leaving that at home unless you're in for a "water break" every 2-3 minutes.The downer, which I read about in previous reviews as well, is that things that need to be tight, need to be TIGHT on assembly, and then some. When we put our two together (easy assembly, took 5 min tops), my husband did one and I did the other. While I'm generally pretty handy, we found that the one I put together kept losing a peddle. Like it would spin off mid ride. Husband hulk-style tightened it, issue resolved. The handlebars did the same, and still need some adjusting occasionally. The worst is that the training wheels WILL loosen up. It's just going to happen. We had one kid blow out down the bike path at 100 ft/hr (he was really ripping for a Pre-K kid), only to turn it into a full out bronc ride when left his training wheel in the dust, got the speed wobbles, then finally ate dirt when his bike dropped it's shoulder and ducked right. I was a proud cowboy mom, he was a sad, bloodied biker kid. Had to carry him home. So my word of advice for those of you who either don't like to see their kids upset or just don't like to carry around dead crying weight, is to invest in a spool of thread seal tape, wrap up your peddles and training wheel threads, and tighten them until you or it almost breaks. Happy riding.

The media could not be loaded. Very sturdy, easy to put together, wheels good material, only thing but heavy and I don't see the back breaks as advertised only front brakes. Overall would recommend.

My almost 7 year old has been struggling to ride a bike, we have tried all different types but this one!! He was able to take off within minutes, he is so happy he can ride a big kid bike and wants to ride all day.“This is the best bike in the world!” “I love the color!!” Just some of the things he has said about his new bike.I love how lightweight it is and the fact that my 15 year old son was able to put it together without help.
