Schwinn Koen & Ellm Toddler and Big Kids Bike

This was very easy to set up. I would not pay the $139 for assembly. It took me and my husband about 45 minutes to set this up.

We love this Bike!!! Looks and feels high end, built very sturdy feels safe, and the little has had a blast on it, we love the color, can’t compete with their brakes you can feel the smoothness when braking for your little one.

I love this little bike for my nephew who just turned 3 yrs old and is 40" tall. I went back and forth over the right size tire ie 12", 14" or 16". The sizing is so confusing with Schwinn as the child height overlaps on each size. I ended up buying the 14" even though Schwinn says the max child height for this bike is 40". I believe this to be incorrect as I had to put the seat in the lowest position for him to straddle the bike easily. It will be a while until he can use the hand break as his hands are too small to grab it. It is such a great feature, however, for when he's ready. The foot breaks work perfectly. The bike is so solid. I am very happy with this purchase.

Schwinn still makes a good product although the basket is hard plastic and will crack when the bike gets dropped or my granddaughter falls- it already happened to the same bike bought for her older sister two years ago. But that didn't stop me from ordering the same for my younger granddaughter when she was old enough for a two wheeler bike.The only disappointing thing was that I placed an order for a Teal (& purple) colored bike. What was delivered to my granddaughter was a pink bike which happened to be the exact same bike her older sister received. So the option I had to give a 4 year old was to have the exact bike as her sister and have it now, or wait a week or more to get the color she preferred (and that I had ordered). I felt bad for her as pink was certainly not her choice, but she was too excited to have a new bike and decided not to wait for the right color. Now we need to buy additional accessories to personalize the two bikes for her and her sister (tassels, name plate) so they don't look exactly the same.

The bike is a gift for my granddaughter, and she LOVES it!!! I am pretty handy with tools, but having said that, be aware that the box it arrived in clearly states that it should be assembled by a professional, and the instructions were not specifically for the bike I bought.. so you have to figure out what type of seat , wheels and most importantly brakes you have. And you will need a tire pressure gauge and bike pump, because the tires have to be inflated to a specific PSI. Also, if you read the AI generated information about ease of assembly, know that there are NO TOOLS included as it says.. the box does not state that tools are included.. so I’m not sure where that information came from. Aside from that, it’s a very sturdy bike, the seat height is adjustable so as your child grows taller, the bike can grow with them. Stability with the training wheels in place is really good. I would definitely recommend this bike.. but if you are not mechanically inclined, be prepared to have someone else put it together.

This 18" bike was purchased for a 4.5 year old (46" tall) who is riding without training wheels. Despite reservations that this bike would be too big, it is the perfect size with the seat down all the way and there is plenty of room to grow.Assembly took about 20 minutes and the only tools that were needed was an Alan wrench, socket set and Phillip screwdriver. Most of this time was actually spent unpacking the bike which was wrapped heavily in cardboard and other protective material. Actual assembly time was closer to 10 minutes. The only fine tuning required was the front break and everything else went together smoothly. I liked how the handlebars are adjustable so I was able to angle them inward for the shorter arm reach.I did remove the plastic number plate off the handlebars because I didn't like the look. Otherwise this is a sharp looking and sturdy kids bike that should be good for two to three years of use. I also liked that it came with a kick stand which most other bikes tend to come without these days.This is a shout out to Amazon Warehouse Deals for a Used - Very Good item that only had a banged up box and otherwise appeared brand new for $60 less than a new bike. Most sizes and colors had numerous items on Amazon Warehouse Deals so there is a good chance you'll be able to save some money on this bike. Funny thing is this item actually came with two sets of pedals, when most items tend to be missing parts, so if you get this item and are missing pedals let me know and I've got you covered.
