(More customer reviews)Hi there- I can't believe someone actually had a 5 star review of this bike.
A little background-
I never review because it is time consuming , but this was too compelling. I have a 4 year old who adores Transformers- we got this bike for his birthday and he was in love. The design is perfect. And that is where the love affair ends.
The bike arrives in 100 pieces and expect even an experienced PAPA (my hubby) to spend a few hours constructing this. In the end, he had to go to Home Depot twice for missing screws and hardware and then he actually had to bend the "fork" on the wheel to get it to go together. My hubby is an engineer not a moron, and this project was tasking.
But it gets even better...
We had it for a couple months with rare use and one day, the left pedal came right off, while my son was riding- as it turned out the inside was stripped. We brought it to a bike repair shop, hoping they would have an answer and I can bet you know what they told us.
THE BIKE IS TRASH. There is no replacement of the stripped piece because it is the actual frame of the bike- good luck getting that piece from the foreign manufacturer, too.
Needless to say, it is going out in the trash on Friday- what a bummer!
