2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, October 6, 2009

This bike is nothing special - disappointing for a Kettler product. It is made in China and is not significantly different from kids bikes selling for half the price. Ours arrived with a defective rear wheel (out of round) which was replaced by Kettler. The brake assembly is not nearly as good as those I've seen on much less expensive bikes. The assembly only allows 2mm of clearance on either side of the wheel. This is not nearly enough. When the brake assembly moves, even slightly, it rubs the wheel.

This is a really nice bike for a little boy.

Cons:

Our son is on the tall side, but when he got this for his 5th birthday he couldn't quite reach the ground. So, instead of trying it out and having a good time with his new and, let's face it, expensive bike, he kept riding his trike for a while. But, he's grown a little bit and now he feels more comfortable with it.

The hand brake. Ok, shoot me if you like it, but I don't. I find it distracting for our son who is insistent on using it, even though he really should be focusing on the foot brake.

It is a bit heavy for a little kid to really manuever around. This is a con if he knocks it down or tries to drag it uphill (or if I have to walk with him to keep him from going too fast downhill).

Pros:

Really well made and sturdy.

I like that there are no characters on it. Yes, there's a spider, but no McQueen, Spiderman, etc. I hate having my child be a billboard.

It seems unisex. I have two boys and a girl, so this is a consideration for me.

It was easy to put together.

Overall we like the bike. I think it's great quality, should easily last through all three kids and beyond.

We purchased this bike for our 4 year old son after a lot of research. Our son loves it and was able to ride it instantly. It is not too heavy, perfect size and really well built. It is such a hit - he rides it every day when his dad gets home from work. Definitely worth the money!
