Schwinn Elm and Koen Bike or Balance Bike, 12-18 Inch Bike for Kids Ages 2-13, Black, Blue, Red, Teal, Pink or Purple, SmartStart Ergonomic Design, Adjustable Seat Grows with Child, Training Bicycle

This Schwinn Koen is the perfect first bike for my 4 year old son! I chose the 16” wheels as he is just at the bottom of the height range so he has room to grow into the bike that it will last us a couple years. His peddling experience was between a big wheel and a classic trike, so this did take a few minutes of practice for him to get used to the resistance of peddling this bike and the factor that peddling backwards brakes the wheels. He is 39” tall - I kept the handle bars at the height they were set to and installed the seat at the lowest height. Assembly took less than an hour solo, the bike comes mostly assembled with a few pieces to be added on. My son LOVES riding his new “big kid bike” and I’m at a light jog to keep up with him! It won’t be long before we’re taking the training wheels off.

This 18" bike was purchased for a 4.5 year old (46" tall) who is riding without training wheels. Despite reservations that this bike would be too big, it is the perfect size with the seat down all the way and there is plenty of room to grow. Assembly took about 20 minutes and the only tools that were needed was an Alan wrench, socket set and Phillip screwdriver. Most of this time was actually spent unpacking the bike which was wrapped heavily in cardboard and other protective material. Actual assembly time was closer to 10 minutes. The only fine tuning required was the front break and everything else went together smoothly. I liked how the handlebars are adjustable so I was able to angle them inward for the shorter arm reach. I did remove the plastic number plate off the handlebars because I didn't like the look. Otherwise this is a sharp looking and sturdy kids bike that should be good for two to three years of use. I also liked that it came with a kick stand which most other bikes tend to come without these days. This is a shout out to Amazon Warehouse Deals for a Used - Very Good item that only had a banged up box and otherwise appeared brand new for $60 less than a new bike. Most sizes and colors had numerous items on Amazon Warehouse Deals so there is a good chance you'll be able to save some money on this bike. Funny thing is this item actually came with two sets of pedals, when most items tend to be missing parts, so if you get this item and are missing pedals let me know and I've got you covered.

Bought for 4 year old and it was a hit. Very well made and simple to assemble

Schwinn still makes a good product although the basket is hard plastic and will crack when the bike gets dropped or my granddaughter falls- it already happened to the same bike bought for her older sister two years ago. But that didn't stop me from ordering the same for my younger granddaughter when she was old enough for a two wheeler bike. The only disappointing thing was that I placed an order for a Teal (& purple) colored bike. What was delivered to my granddaughter was a pink bike which happened to be the exact same bike her older sister received. So the option I had to give a 4 year old was to have the exact bike as her sister and have it now, or wait a week or more to get the color she preferred (and that I had ordered). I felt bad for her as pink was certainly not her choice, but she was too excited to have a new bike and decided not to wait for the right color. Now we need to buy additional accessories to personalize the two bikes for her and her sister (tassels, name plate) so they don't look exactly the same.

Color : Teal Style : 18 inch Bought it for my 6 years old daughter. The assembly was very minimal and it took 25 - 30 mins to assemble the entire bike with minimal tools. The IKEA toolbox is sufficient to assemble the entire thing. Compared to other bikes it's very comfortable for her to ride. The teal color looks absolutely beautiful. Now about the customer service, while assembling I noticed the back reflector was broken, never bothered to return just for a reflector bought couple of them from Amazon which doesn't fit (the diameter size was matching), the diameter was either too small or little big and not fitting. After returning both finally called Schwinn support mentioned in product support from Amazon order details. The call took a while to connect but once I was able to talk to then and mentioned the model number they sent the reflectors within next 3 days. So I believe they'll support and stand behind their product. Like the fact that it comes with a side stand and both the hand brakes. It is priced on little higher side but it is sturdily built, stable, assembly is very easy, very comfortable to ride and looks absolutely amazing. My daughter absolutely loves it to ride and we are happy with our purchase.

Well built and suitable for my 3 year old to ride. Balanced well and the handle on the seat is great to help teach my son to ride his bike.

Bought this one for my 5 years old daughter. She was looking forward to the bike for weeks. Unfortunately she tried riding on this bike once and gave up on it. It felt rough and gave pain to her butt. After just 1 test ride, its now sitting in my storage waiting to be disposed of. Better off testing before buying any bike people, unless u are really sure about you want to buy. Decathlon in Singapore is worth trying out if you want to buy simple bikes.

The bike itself is good but it came with missing part.

Molto bella e prarica. Mia figlia l'adora

Easy to build out of the box, but not so easy to tune for a good riding experience. Put it together with just 1 adjustable wrench in about half an hour. However some adjustments needed for the nuts of the handlebar and pedal cranks for a smoother experience. My 4 year old boy got riding smoothly after about half an hour of fiddling around and getting used to the arm and leg motions. Overall recommended for parents with some tool assembly and kids with some prior pedalling experience, at ~200 Singapore dollars.

There are no training wheels (the description is completely deceptive), I can't install the reflector because its base which is attached to the bike is missing, there is no installation section in the manual. Unless the company sends the missing pieces and wheels, I will keep this score. The box in which the bike comes is very fragile and with a lot of holes. It would be a reasonable birthday gift. Please look for something else!
