Iride Sporting Equipment Balance Bike (Red)

I wish I had bought this earlier. Amazing product!The bicycle is simply perfect the way it is made. The concept of having no brakes or pedals on the bike seems awkward but it is made for a reason. The child thoroughly enjoys riding it. The earlier your kid starts using this bicycle, the quicker he will learn how to balance on it. A good age to start on this bicycle is 2 yrs and above.Please keep a note of the following things about assembling this at home:1. The instruction manual is technically useless. The images are unclear, and there is minimal text to explain what needs to be done2. For all those parents who always wondered when they would use the Physics they studied in college - this is the time! You will be applying a lot of Science at the time of assembling this. It's not going to be easy. Good luck!3. This bicycle comes at a very reasonable price (compared to other similar products). You may expect slight quality loss in terms of paint job and stuff, but it shouldn't affect the overall working of the product4. The rear mud-flap doesn't fit well. Every time the child's leg touches the flap, it loses its position. I would recommend that you dont put the mud-flaps on Day 1. The bicycle looks cute without mud-flaps too5. Once the child gets a grip on the bicycle and can handle the weight of it, be prepared to see them spending hours on the bicycle. They should be able to balance on it within weeks.Happy Riding!

given assembly manual is useless. Spent 500/- more to get assembled by garage person, added break n bell. No provision for break for rear wheel...that's big lacuna. Breaks has to be provided. That's why 3 star
