RoyalBaby EZ Kids Bike 12 14 16 18 20 Inch Balance Pedal 2-in-1 Training Bicycle Boys Girls Ages 3 to 12 Years Easy Learn for Beginners

This is an excellent starter bike. Close to a guardian bike without the high cost. Well balanced for children with motor and proprioception issues. I did get a bigger seat with springs since I have a big 7 year old. If you have to change the back tire, retube it because of bullheads. Remember to take pictures before you take it apart. It is tricky to put it back together. Doable, pictures helped.

So far so good. My granddaughter was afraid to try bikes with training wheels. I got her this balance bike and she was apprehensive at first but VERY quickly is seeming to find out how to balance and keep the bike upright. We don't have the pedals on yet, so I may revise the review then, but so far she is doing great and is actually begging to go out and keep trying. Most importantly she is now having fun learning to ride. Overall the bike is easy to assemble and quality seems to be great. The seat has a nice handle on back for adults to help hold it steady if need be. It also has two cable brakes which is nice. So far, I'm impressed. Granddaughter has a 24" inseam and this bike is large enough to fit.

Great little bike for kids, it’s been a couple years now! Definitely needed a video to raise the bars - that wasn’t easy.

This bike worked like magic as my daughter learned to ride a bike within a couple of days. I was teaching her to ride a bike with training wheels, and she struggled on that bike and never learned to ride it. I think training-wheeled bikes are the worst idea for kids learning to ride a bike. I bought this RoyalBaby Ez Kids Bike and told her to use her legs to push the bike forward and glide/coast for a few meters. She learned to balance the bike and started coasting a few meters at a time. After she learned to balance and coast, I put the paddles in (they attach with a snap - no tools required) and she transitioned to paddling and balancing in one or two goes. I recommend this bike for every kid.

My son is 12 and has down syndrome. He has some mobility issues due to weak muscles and it can be hard for him to get around sometimes. We've tried teaching him to ride a bike but haven't had much luck. I found this one and was excited to see it came in his size! I bought a smaller balance bike for my younger boy who's 2 and within a year he was zooming through the house, so I figured why not try with this one! He is a bit scared of it but he still gets on and does his best with plenty of encouragement! We only ride in the house for now and try to get on it twice a day. It's a great tool for motivating him to get up and move around a bit. And I'm hoping that after regular use he will get more comfortable and start picking it up. I l love that it has the pedals you can put on once they are ready for it. My 2 years olds bike was a different brand and did not have that option and I wish now that it did cause he is definitely ready for pedals! Might have to buy another one of these to replace the other one lol. It was easy to assemble and everything can be adjusted. This bike is perfect for older kids that still need to learn balancing!

Initially I was disappointed in the size as I thought this would be way too small for my 7 year old grandson and at one point was returning it. After more consideration I decided to let grandson check it out and it worked out to be a good fit since seat height was adjustable. He went from not being able to balance and pedal to doing both in one afternoon. Being able to touch ground helped and kept him from crashing when first trying out. I like everything about it except pedals are a little small and I wish they were larger. Very little assembly required.

My 5yo learned to ride a bike in one week on this, after only having used a tricycle before. She did a few days without the pedals (functioning as a balance bike) and announced that she now knew how to ride it, so we put the pedals on. With zero assistance from us, she proved herself right and was riding around the block.

This is just wow. Solets start with the cheapest and dumbest water bottle concept I have ever seen. Get me a real water bottle holder. It's cheap plastic that barley holds water. The reflecters def not meant for the bike. The front one goes to the side and the back one does not line up properly. The bike is heavy. As heavy as a 18 inch bike and I have the 16. It came 5 days late passing my son's bday. And it's dusty as if it was used or not stored properly. Next will try it in use and see how it goes. But so far not happy
