Santa got this bike for my 3 1/2 year old for Christmas. It is so cute, the graphics are true to the picture, it's exactly what I had in mind! Easy to put together and both of my boys have enjoyed it! Highly recommended!

We picked up the Huffy Pro Thunder 20-inch on a special deal that made it between $60-70. The boy is six, just out grown the old training wheels bike (the training wheels he removed himself by the way). Fits him just fine, I think the seat is all the way down, and his feet are nearly flat when on it. So I'm sure it fits older kids just fine with the seat adjusted higher. Here's what I've noticed about the bike:

Mailed unassembled, no damage when it got here, the box had some wear on it, but no punctures-no damage to the bike. (came while I was at work, it was opened and put together by the time I got home. So that was a after the fact examination.) (Also, make sure bolts are tight and secure-his mom used a pair of plyers on one size nut and those came loose later-but after using the right tools we haven't seen any problems)

There's a pad on the handle bar, held together by velco sleeve over it. It was gone in a week. He took off the sleeve for some reason, and lost them both before he made it back to the house.

The chain kept falling off the day he and his mom put it together-while I was at work. All I needed to do was loosen the bolts that held the rear axle/tire, slide it to the rear to tighten the chain and tighten down the bolts again. The problem hasn't returned.

One day he was riding down some side walk steps, over and over. The front tire went flat, I figured it was of cheaper quality and just needed to be replaced for a few bucks at the store. But I never found a hole to patch (the old hold under water and look for bubbles trick), and when I put air back in it, it was good as new. So who knows.

So, yeah its not aluminum/super light. But he's riding it around the neighborhood, and on simnple bike trails. He loves it, he's on it all the time and as rough as he is on things nothing's broke in 3 full months--so we'll see how long that continues. In a few years he'll have the dexterity to change gears and need something rougher to ride the mountain bike trails the rest of us ride, so I really don't see spending more now.
