I ride my folding bike to school every day. It is great, I just fold it and carry it to class. I also store the bike in my dorm room. It takes no space and I keep it in my closet.
Nice bike!

Nirve Hello Kitty Special Edition Retro Kitty Girls' Cruiser Bike (20-Inch Wheels) Review

Nirve Hello Kitty Special Edition Retro Kitty Girls' Cruiser Bike (20-Inch Wheels)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this bike for my 7-year old daughter as a Christmas Present. I have to say that it looked absolutely fabulous when assembled. It even came with touch-up paint in the two colors just incase there were any transportation dings (there was not). I added a flower basket to the handlebars, some streamers to the handles, and some heavy duty training wheels to complete the picture. Everyone who saw the bike remarked how perfect it looked (almost like PeeWee's bike). I am giving it 4-stars instead of 5 only because the assembly instructions that came with the bike are somewhat difficult. I am a senior engineer and very mechanically inclined and had a little difficulty assembling things in the right order to prevent myself from not having to remove and replace parts again and again. In all the assembly took about 2-hours. The manual does not refer specifically to this model but rather models that are both bigger and smaller than this one in different sections of the manual - so the assembler must figure out on their own how to interpolate and complete some of the steps from each of the various sections. Not hard - but a little more time consuming that I was expecting. I can definitely see how someone who is not handy with tools might take the whole box to a bike shop and pay for them to assemble the bike.

Encourage your little girl to ride in style with the Retro Kitty 20-inch cruiser bike from Nirve. A fun 20-inch version of Nirve's popular full-size Hello Kitty cruiser, the bike is equipped with such features as a proprietary Galaxie frame, Hello Kitty treaded tires, and a front ringing bell. The double-spring saddle and cruiser-style handlebars, meanwhile, are designed for all-day comfort. Perhaps the sweetest feature, however, is the bike's retro color and shape, which call to mind the classic kids' bikes of the '50s and '60s. The Retro Kitty, which also includes a welded cartridge kickstand, is intended for girls between the ages of 6 and 10.

Huffy Rock Out AMP Bike, Black/White, 20-Inch Review

Huffy Rock Out AMP Bike, Black/White, 20-Inch

(More customer reviews)
Bought this bike for our grandson for Christmas. This is his first bike with no training wheels and is a "big boys" bike. He is five years old. After reading several other reviews on 20" bikes I was a little concerned about shipping and the condition that it wold arrive in. My experience was excellent. It arrived in perfect condition and for the most part was assembled. I had to put on the handle bars, the seat, the reflectors and the peddles. It was quick and easy. The bike is sturdy and well made, will withstand a five year old with no problem. One of my concerns was braking, this bike has the conventional pedal brakes as will as the handle-bar grip brakes----an added safety feature for small kids. Anyway, on Christmas day he got his bike and was off and riding it in no time (after some running behind him for balance assist). He is all on his own now and enjoying it a lot except for just a couple of spills.
Arrived in perfect condition.
Easy to assemble.
Sturdy construction.
Looks sharp.
Dual mode brakes.
A good price.
Hope this helps if you had any reservations.

An ideal transitional bike for boys, the Rock Out 20-inch bike from Huffy takes your music fanhood to the next level. That's because the Rock Out comes with its very own A.M.P., otherwise known as an Amplified Music Player. The A.M.P. works by connecting to your MP3 player, letting you play your favorite music out loud while you cruise down the street--no headphones required. It's a great way to have fun, attract attention, and keep yourself entertained. Plus, the bike comes with a sleek vinyl handlebar bag specially designed to hold and protect the A.M.P., MP3 player, ear buds, and other personal items. And, of course, the Huffy Rock Out excels from a traditional riding perspective as well, with such features as a steel Y-frame, a steel unicrown fork, front and rear caliper brakes, rear coaster brakes, steel rims, and a padded seat with graphics. The bike is a great choice for boys who love to ride on trails, or who aren't quite ready to upgrade to a full-size men's bike.

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

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

Bought as a gift for my daughter. She asked for a light blue and the only one I could find at a brick & mortar was $235.00 and didn't look any nicer then this one. She has been enjoying it and said it is perfect in every way.

Huffy Boys Pro Thunder 20 - Inch Bike Review

Huffy Boys Pro Thunder 20 - Inch Bike
Average 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.

Huffy Pop Star AMP Bike, Red/White, 20-Inch Review

Huffy Pop Star AMP Bike, Red/White, 20-Inch
Average Reviews:

This bike is so adorable once it is put together. However, we never got the handbrake attached! The instructions are confusing from the start and written in tiny font. It actually worked out though since my daughter was just learning to ride a 2 wheeler and did not need the confusion of the handbrakes - she just uses the pedal brake and it is fine! A great bike for the money! And it also comes with a little MP3 portable speaker in the bag on the handlebars! It is crappy quality but fine for an 8 year old!
