This green machine has everything your little one needs to have fun: the steel frame and fork will take a lickin' that only a child can truly master and keep on tickin', the training wheels allow a child to become comfortable pedaling and braking without falling over, and the moto fender set screams get me dirty. The only question to ask is - how long will this bike stay clean?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great option for a small child's first bike, March 23, 2011

I bought this bike for my son's 3-year birthday. He loves it. While the box did not include instructions, the bike was NOT difficult to put together. Unless you are completely clueless mechanically, that should not be a problem. It includes a small wrench for easy assembly.

I chose this bike for a number of reasons:

PRICE: I didn't want to spend $190 for the Specialized HotRock

BRAKES: The brakes are the standard coaster brakes (push down/back on the pedals to stop) needed for a small child who is learning to ride (I felt a handbrake would have been a problem at this age)

QUALITY/NAME: DiamondBack quality is pretty good and the bike is lighter than the crap you find at a WalMart-type discount store.

Overall, this will last him a few years and is a good bike for learning how to ride. The Specialized is better quality of you're willing to spend an extra $75 (they only sell through local dealers). Mine was not missing hardware and the stickers were applied just fine. Don't hesitate! Great deal.

Diamondback are nicely made bikes. Rode one for a week in the desert and it was terrific. HOWEVER, three missing pieces of hardware, combined with a miserable instruction book for assembling, and some supplementary photos on a sheet of paper, photos that were not visually meaningful for the purpose, gave me two hours of heartburn and improvisation. If I had been able to buy this bike assembled locally I would have.

Just purchased this bike for son who recently turned 3. He has been on a Strider for the last 10 months and has practically mastered it. This bike is perfect... it's a little tall and a little heavy, but it doesn't seem to bother him. My husband put it together in 30 minutes, and it took another 5-10 minutes to adjust everything to my son. Totally worth the money, and great quality. !
