Skyway Tuff Wheel Mag Front Wheel 3/8 Nutted 16 x 1.75 Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The original Skyway Tuff Wheel (with updated bearings). After I cracked my kid's tuffwheel by running it over, the custom vintage BMX bike his uncle pieced together for him was incomplete. I searched high and low for a replacement rim, and found not only that you had the exact product but also at a great price. In order to fit the rim in the forks, I did have to shave the outer nuts that lock the inner nuts outside the bearings. The older cone-style bearings used to have the thinner nut for a slimmer profile. I expected as much from the product photo, so no surprises there. Thanks for a great, hard-to-find product. My kid is back in action.

Diego Bike (16-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this item to donate to the Salvation Army during Xmas. During the easy 20 minute assembly & adjusment, I made these observations:
It is made by Huffy. It is well built with a steel frame and good welds, pretty solid, but very basic. For instance, there are no reflectors except those found on the pedals. The pedals are plastic but pretty solid and offer good grip - no worries. There also is no front fender, and the chain guard is plastic instead of metal. There are no hand brakes - only the coaster brake. The seat adjustment must be done with a wrench - no quick adjust here. The training wheels mount easily enough and are reasonably sturdy - but they do not lock up as good as some others I've seen - however they should do the job.
It was packaged well for shipping with a thick & tough plastic wrap around the retail box. - but there was a little scuff/paint damage near the pedal crank tube - nothing too serious for this level of bike.
It also comes with a safety pad for the handlebar that you can't see in the picture.
My opinion is that this bike is a good value if you find it on sale under $50 - and a great value when it comes up under $30!!

Adorned with Diego graphics on a sharp-looking, bright blue frame, this single-speed, 16-inch bike is the perfect first bike for new cyclists and Diego fans. Removable training wheels offer a nice safety feature as your little boy transitions to his first two-wheeler ride. A strong steel frame provides stability and durability, and the training wheels add confidence as he learns to maneuver the driveway and sidewalks. A rear coaster brake offers a safe way to learn how to stop, while the handlebar pad (featuring Diego, of course) provides stylish protection. A padded seat will ensure a comfortable ride as he cruises the neighborhood.

Polaris Edge LX160 Kids Bike (16-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, let me say that is is a great bike for your little boy to learn on. My boy is 3 and is an average size for his age, and this bike fits him perfectly.
PROS:
- Has a pad on the top bar (very important for little boys learning to ride)
- Has a full chain guard...not just on the top of the chain
- Has chunky tires that aren't too narrow
- Very easy to assemble out of the box (although the directions aren't for this exact bike)
- Seat looks a bit awkward in the picture, but it is actually a good design and holds your little ones bottom in the correct place
- A nice color red that isn't too flashy, yet stands out enough for others to be able to see your child when riding (not like a black or darker colored bike, which is hard to notice on a street)
CONS:
- Manual & directions aren't for this exact bike (looks like the company has 1 manual & includes it with all of their bikes...and it is for adult bikes)
- My biggest gripe - the fenders shown in the picture are NOT the ones that come with the bike. I have listed a picture of the bike we have showing the difference in the fenders. It is not a huge difference, but the ones that come with it do not wrap around the top of the tire as much as the stock photo shows, which makes them essentially pointless in keeping the tire splash angled downward - and they don't look as "cool" because they don't have the holes in the side giving a "beefier" look. :(
- No reflector for the back of the bike, only front (which isn't a huge deal because I plan on putting a flashing LED, but something worth mentioning).
**UPDATE**
Seems the bike has a few things that were redesigned on it...so my picture was removed. I still don't like the fenders that come on the bike now. But I am happy to report that the bike is still in great shape over 2 years later!!

Huffy Toy Story Boys Bike, Blue/Green, 16-Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my boy's 4th birthday. I chose it because he's a Toy Story fan and his older brother has the Huffy Spiderman 16 inch bike. The Spiderman bike has held up well after a year of use, so I trusted this one would as well. It arrived promptly, in good shape and I opened it up to begin assembly (which I dreaded). In typical guy fashion, I pulled out all the parts and decided to try putting it together without reading the instructions. Much to my surprise, I had it together and ready to ride in about 20 minutes! The only tool I used was an adjustable wrench. The tires were about 1/2 full, so I topped them off. The bike seems to be of good quality and I expect he will outgrow it before it breaks down. This was an upgrade from a smaller bike for him, so he says this one is really fast! He's spent about 3 hours on it so far with no issues. Low price, good quality, big smiles from a happy kid...can't beat it!

Huffy Boys Pro Thunder 20 - Inch Bike Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The photo doesn't show it, but the handle bars are spread really wide, which forces your kid to have his arms up and hands spread apart in a not-natural way. This makes it really hard to control the bike. Bad design. I'm going to see if I can buy a normal pair of handle bars because I've had the bike too long to return it. Wish I never bought it.

Schwinn Scorcher Boys' Bike (16-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Before reading this, please understand that we sold our car last summer, so our family uses bikes for every-day commuting, be it to/from work, to/from preschool, or just grocery shopping. Bikes are less "toys" for us, than hard-working transportation that must function well!
We got this for my son for the holidays, just before his 4th Birthday. There were some issues with the manufacturer that delayed shipping, but the seller made herculean (and successful!) efforts to make sure the bikes all arrived by Christmas.
My husband assembled this bike late Christmas Eve in the livingroom. While the manual was less than helpful for this (Schwinn, apparently, makes one general manual that covers all types of bikes, and therefore doesn't feel it necessary to make model-specific manuals -- or assembly instructions!), he was able to get it ready in a reasonable amount of time. Like all bikes, it comes with the tires deflated, so I had to take it to get air in them. (Perhaps this is why one reviewer complained the tires were fat and soft?)
I was immediately impressed with how sturdy the bike is. Strong. It looked cool -- it was also going to withstand anything my son was likely to put it through in the years to come!
The first time my son tried it, we discovered the training wheels were set too low: The rear tire wasn't making enough contact with the ground to give "drive". A two-second adjust, and that was fixed.
The low "rise" in front of the seat makes it easy for little boys to get on. The combination of coaster and hand-brakes gives many options for learning to stop. One unexpected "bonus"? The front pegs actually keep the weight of the bike OFF the body during falls!
We've had the bike for one month now. He's gone from shakily riding to the corner while I strolled slowly next to him, to riding it to school (a 3-mile trip).
PROS:
* Sturdy contstruction
* "real bike" quality
* coaster AND full-caliper brakes
* Reflectors
* Quick-adjust seat
* Front pegs make falls safer (who knew?)
* Bike is tall enough for an adult to "walk" without breaking their back
* Can easily keep up with an adult on a full-sized bike.
CONS:
* My son's hands are not yet LONG enough to use the caliper brakes, because the levers are so far from the handlebars.
* Handlebar structure makes it difficult to mount a basket
* Training wheels are loud. (But, then, all training wheels are loud.)

Toy Story 3 Bike (16-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm not sure why the other guy had such a hard time putting it together. Maybe lack of competence on his part, but it wasn't hard to follow the directions and get it assembled. Although, I'd prefer a center pull front brake system, instead of a side one. It's a fine bike, that should last the few years I need it to. Great for the price.

Mongoose Decoy Boy's Bike (18-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We just received this bike today (delivered by fed ex)... the box was definiely beat up, but the bike was in perfect condition!! We are really happy with it! My son is going to love it for christmas!! He is 4 & 1/2 and about 45" tall, so he is kinda between sizes for bikes -20" is too big and 16" is too small- this is the perfect size for him!! We looked all over for an 18 inch bike and none of them were as cool as this one! I would recommend this bike to anyone with a kid who is in between the most common sizes, but if you don't really need an 18" bike I would just go to target or walmart and save some money just because this one is a little pricy. Hope this helps!!

Spider-Man Bike (16-Inch Wheels) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We purchased this bike for my five year old son for his birthday. We were unable to find a Spiderman bike at any of our local stores, so we decided to make an online purchase. The price was very low, and we received free shipping which was great! The bike arrived quickly, even though we had chosen super-shaver shipping. There were some issues with the bike. Once the bike was put together and our son tried to ride it, we realized the front and back wheel were badly warped. So much so, that the rear wheel rubbed against the brake very badly to the point that my son couldn't pedal the bike. We were pretty disappointed to say the least. However we called the warranty number in the booklet that came with the bike. I was told how to submit my request for new wheels by e-mail, and did so. We received the two new wheels within days of my e-mail request and were able to put them on his bike. The new wheels are great, and we are having no more problems with them. I'm not sure if maybe the wheels were damaged during shipping (as the box the bike arrived in looked slightly beat up), or if this was a manufacturer's problem. Anyway, the problem was resolved and the new wheels were free of charge.
One other problem I would mention with this bike, but that isn't a real big deal, was that the front faceplate that fits onto the handle bars fell off. The little plastic zip ties that hold it on, broke immediately. They were very brittle. This isn't a huge problem, as the bike looks fine without the plate. But we will need to purchase some new zip ties to put the plate back on.
I normally would have given this bike a 3 in the review, but decided to give it a 4 because our warranty needs were met immediately, and to our satisfaction.

Classic BMX styling combined with a host of quality safety features make this a great bike for track and street riders. Equipped with a handcrafted Hi-Ten Boy's Team series frame and a handcrafted Hi-Ten jumping fork, the Mongoose Spin BMX bike is strong enough for off-road cycling, dirt jumping, and trick riding. The bike's front and rear U-brakes, meanwhile, offer all the braking power needed for safe, dependable stopping. Other details include front and rear axle pegs, a four-piece "knee-saver" handlebar, 20-by-2.125-inch black Jumper K-Rad tires, a large Mongoose Jumping saddle with stitches, alloy 48-hole hubs, a three-piece tubular crank set, and an A-head machined stem. The Mongoose Spin carries a lifetime warranty on the frame and fork.

About Mongoose In 1974, BMX Products, Inc., later to be known as Mongoose Bicycles, launched from a humble garage. The first of its kind, the BMX bicycle was named after bicycle motocross and was designed to fit the needs of the rough-and-tumble dirt-racing pastime that took its toll on wheels and bicycles. The heavy-duty, one-piece cast-aluminum Mongoose Motomag wheel was soon born, and it was the first competition-ready BMX bicycle available. Skip Hess, while in Australia pursuing his motor sports passion, came into contact with a strange and unusual cat-size animal--the mongoose. Known for its passive nature while unprovoked, yet vicious and aggressive enough to kill a threatening Cobra twice its size, the Mongoose impressed Hess, who quickly registered the Mongoose trademark for his new bicycle racing frame.
The Expert BMX bicycle model, which is still a cornerstone of the Mongoose BMX line today, was introduced in 1980. Shortly after, Mongoose captured the first ever ABA National #1 Cruiser Title. Previously known for the 20-inch bicycle, this title signaled the re-direction of Mongoose bicycles to larger-wheeled, adult-sized models. Several years later, Mongoose continues to dominate the cruiser racing circuit with six National No. 1 Cruiser titles, leading to the introduction of adult-sized Mongoose all-terrain bicycles (ATBs).
In 1992, Mongoose pioneered the full-suspension market with the introduction of the Amplifier. This design is still the most-copied suspension design in the market. Several year later, Mongoose launched the Newman adult bicycle frame, which is proven to be 15% stronger than any other bike frame in the market. The design, while functionally sound, also raised eyebrows because of its distinctive look.
In the next few years, Mongoose increased its marketing focus to dominate the bicycle industry, and more important, extend beyond it. The Mongoose brand marketing initiative makes more than 100 million impressions. Mongoose's brand awareness increased by over 130% in 1999 and solidifies the No. 2 market share position in units and dollars. Mongoose was acquired by Pacific Cycle, LLC, and continues to grow and prosper with more than 40 models of BMX, mountain, trail, freestyle, jumping, comfort, road, and cyclocross bikes.
