Review: **Update from last review** We went head and ordered a 2nd exact same bike for our other son. This time we got a desertcart return (One at a discount). The bike had a few minor imperfections, slightly bent front wheel (2min fix w/ a spoke tool) and a bent right side crank bearing (Pretty simple and painless fix if you know how to repair it). Also did a rear tire coaster brake conversion to a freewheel since my son wanted a bike that could back pedal. Am I happy with both bikes, YES. Are my sons happy, YES. If I had to buy them both over again, YES I would buy them. ***First post*** Read lots of reviews and to be honest. Allot of folks should just buy a preassembled bike if they can’t read directions. Very strait forward and easy to put together. Make sure you have all the tools needed before starting on this, plan on it taking 20-40mins depending on your mechanical skill level. Does Not come with a kick stand! No problem, we pulled the adjustable one off my sons old bike that we got on desertcart for $5. I will be buying another one of these again for my other son when his B-Day comes around. If he behaves 😉 Absolutely yes a good buy!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the bike come already assembled?**
A: Front wheel and handle bar alone assembly is not easy. And the instruction that comes with the product is not clear at all

**Q: Does this bike have a kick stand?**
A: No

You don't need a kick stand until the training wheels come off.  There's a center hole for a standard type and other other after market models that will work just fine for under $20.

**Q: Dose the  bike comes with training wheels**
A: yes, it does have its training wheels

**Q: Does this bike have coaster brakes and caliper front brake?**
A: Yes, it has both. Hopefully you get all the parts to the bike tho...parts were missing to the one I purchased and when I reached out to Amazon they never responded. Good luck

*by S***R on August 8, 2021*

I was afraid of few reviews that I saw before receiving it but very happy with this purchase. I had to unscrew the front axle as well as the crankset as they were difficult to turn but once these adjustments are made everything is perfect and my 6 year old boy is very happy. Nice intermediate size.
