    Great bikes, even better customer service!

    This is the second time I have purchased bikes from Guardian for my three kids. These are high-quality products and my kids love them! And, anytime I have needed assistance, Guardian's customer service has been exceptional. Special shout out to Amber who specifically made my experience pleasant and easy. I highly recommend this company and their bikes!

    Great Bike

    Very easy to order and delivery was flawless. Not the most handy and had to call on a Saturday to get some help on one part of assembly but technician was very nice and solved the problem immediately. Grand daughter loves the bike and rides it with much more confidence. Great looking and excellent purchase!

    Son's Bike

    Got my Son this bike he was very happy. I asked him if he want to put it together he jumped right in. The videos were very helpful and easy to follow. He did most of the work with help from me. It was a great little project to do together and now he rides it daily. So far really pleased with the purchase and quality of this bike.

    The real deal

    I don't ever write reviews but this was a good experience from start to finish. My 12 year old has some delays that had so far made it impossible to figure out a two-wheeler. I wasn't sure it was possible and this was our last attempt. The bike is super light and I think that makes a difference. My son was riding it the same day it came. The ordering was easy, delivery was on time, the videos for assembly were helpful, and suddenly I have a kid who feels really good about his success and who asks to ride bikes everyday. Thank you.
