5 Stars perfect little girl bike
This is a very nice bike, packed nicely, was put together easily, I wouldn’t have known how to adjust the brakes, no directions, but my hubby did :). It’s great quality, but no kickstand so I’ll have to buy one. My 8 year old loves the color its a pearly-pink, she is 4′5″ with a 24″ inseam and this bike is great for her, the 24″ bike would have overwhelmed her because biking has been a challenge to her and she just learned to ride with no training wheels, but the seat is raised about what it shows in the picture(more then halfway up the bar) it can still be raised up a bit but you may opt for the Octane 24″ if your child is close to this size or any bigger(go by inseam). I’m hoping she gets a couple years out of it, but I plan to pass it down to my 4 year old when she’s about 6, so its a great buy for me in the longrun anyway. Its a dream compared to the cheap toy store bike she learned on, the old bike was heavy and awkward and by the time she was comfortable handling it she was way too big for it, I wish I had bought her a quality bike to begin with and maybe she would have learned easier, I’m very pleased I bought this bike enstead of going back to the toystore for a cheap one. The alluminum frame makes it lightweight and easy to handle.
