## Description

Includes several features that help build confidence and add convenience. With 12-20-inch wheels, this kids bike fits riders 30" - 54" and is perfect for learning to ride, cruising the neighborhood, or heading to the park. Assembly is easy with a few common household tools and the included instruction guide. Comes with a limited lifetime warranty for as long as you own the bike. At Schwinn, we're empowering millions to enjoy the joy and freedom of riding.

Review: Best First Bike! - This Schwinn Koen is the perfect first bike for my 4 year old son! I chose the 16” wheels as he is just at the bottom of the height range so he has room to grow into the bike that it will last us a couple years. His peddling experience was between a big wheel and a classic trike, so this did take a few minutes of practice for him to get used to the resistance of peddling this bike and the factor that peddling backwards brakes the wheels. He is 39” tall - I kept the handle bars at the height they were set to and installed the seat at the lowest height. Assembly took less than an hour solo, the bike comes mostly assembled with a few pieces to be added on. My son LOVES riding his new “big kid bike” and I’m at a light jog to keep up with him! It won’t be long before we’re taking the training wheels off.
Review: Outstanding kids bike for the price. - 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 desertcart 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 desertcart 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where can you buy an extra tire and wheel frame?**
A: We bought a new tire at our local bike shop. The rear tire on ours had a hole in it when we received it.

**Q: How much assembly is required?**
A: I purchased the 20" wheel version. That required bolting on the pedals to the cranks, in stalling the front wheel, installing and aligning the handlebars, and installing the basket. I am not sure about the other sized bikes.

**Q: 6 yo boy, 43 in tall, 19 in inseam - is the 18 in bike ok or still too big?**
A: Hello! The 18 inch is recommended for riders, 40" - 52".

**Q: Is the 18 inch bike too large for a boy turning 4?  He's 90% for height.**
A: The 18" bike is recommended for riders 5-9 with a height of 42"-52".  The stand over height for the 18" is about 20".  Thanks, Jen
