Leader Buddy 16T Sea Green/Light Pink Colour Cycle for Kids/Age Group 5-8 Years

Although there were many negative review on the cycle be difficult to assemble. I found to be very easy hardly taking 45 minutes. And initial usage of cycle gives a good impression on the quality

The main reason why Income to Amazon is - Customers will be spoilled with choices. Most of the brick and mortar shops stock only selected models or brands where they get huge margins.I was looking for good quality, value for money bicycles for my daughter. After doing some research I ordered leader Buddy bicycle.This cycle delivered within the deadlines in good condition. Manufacturer claims that anyone can assemble this cycle themselves with a small tool included in the package. However I do not recommend it.Unless you are a mechanic you can NOT assemble it yourself. The manual gave bare minimum information. I tried to the bicycle after watching YouTube videos but did not succeed.Few minor parts required for assembling supporting wheels were missing. I would highly recommend this package directly to a cycle shop before opening it.It's very difficult to assemble it and align the breaks and wheels properly.If you go to any major brand bicycle shop which sells branded and adult bicycles, they will charge you atleast 500 bucks plus they will makenyoubwait for days.I would recommend you to take this bicycle to cycle repair shop or small kids bicycle shops. They will charge around 200 bucks immediately.Overall it's a good cycle compared other options I found online as well offline stores.

Overall an average purchase experience.Build quality of the product is good however certain things which needs improvement are as below:1- Assembly video should be detailed enough to do the assembly by yourself. The current video is very fast and not detailed.2) 5 hole wrench provided instead of 16 hole as shown in video because of which even if we want to assemble the cycle we cannot3) The assembly picture guide could be improved4) Free assembly should be provided as the price including the assembly cost is a bit high for the productUpdating the review after first use:Got the cycle assembled and now the free wheel doesn't rotate before of which the rear wheel doesn't rotate. Got it checked from the cycle store nearby and was informed that the free wheel needs to be replaced. Called Leader cycles customer care and there was no response. Finally got the part replaced by myself at my cost. Worst experience. Better to buy from a store near you

Summary:- I am happy with the purchase. Kid is happy with the bicycle.- Seller has included a checklist of all the spare parts. So, no fear of missing spares in the package.- Product is as described.Pros:- Product packaging is awesome. No moving parts as all the spares have been tied appropriately.- Found the checklist of included spare parts when opened the package (refer to the attached images). That just boosted my confidence :)- Colour combination is awesome (subjective).- Product is as described. Just works as expected. No complaints.Assembly:- Assembly is easy, DIY if you have some toolset.- Multi-spanner shared in the packaging cannot be used for all the nuts/bolts to be fixed. So, if you don't have a toolset, get it assembled at a local shop.- Tyres are deflated by default for some reason. It has the narrower Dunlop valve (also called English valve or Woods valve - compatible with Presta type valves) for air intake. Ensure your air pump supports this valve type. Not sure why the tyres are sent in deflated condition.Initial Dilemma:I was not sure if buying bicycle online is good as I had doubts about the size incompatibilities. However, clear details about the size and height of the child in the description and the good video on the assembly of the bicycle in vendor's website helped me to get the confidence to place the order. Now I am happy that the product met my expectations.

First of all this is not a perfect product!It's frame is good!Painting on frame good!Accessories provided are good and complete!Sticker works on frame ara not perfectly done!Alignements are not done properly!They have checklist with the product and all are checked and approved, To the vendor it is not properly examined and approved at all!This is not 80% assembled, you must go to a professional to get that done for sure.Also we can't get this item to perfect alignment "may be the product I recieved is defective"!Vendor must provide good service and support!

Value for money
