    My Grandson loves his new bike

    My experience was great. My grandson loves his new bike. He tried one at a friends house and then came home and asked for one. His father put it together for him. He wants to ride it every day.

    Highly Recommend

    Great customer service from Guardian from the initial point of contact asking questions, to the purchase. Assembly is simple with great instructions. Great overall quality and I love the brake design. If you're looking for a great kid's bike and tired of the junk you find at big retailers, buy a Guardian bike.

    Incredible

    This bike was a God send for my daughter. We live in the country and didn't have a good way to get her on a bike when she was little. She was struggling to ride a different bike and was extremely discouraged. I decided to try this one and - not kidding or exaggerating- she was riding unassisted the 2nd time she tried it!! Amazing. Seems like a high quality bike as well. Thank you!

    Love it!

    So happy with the purchase. My 10 year old had such a hard time riding a bike. He has had OT and PT and coordination issues, and learning to ride a bike just truly frustrated him. We’ve been trying for years, using balance bikes, training wheels, etc. He loves the look of this bike. It was easy to set up. He spent a short time one day working on this bike without the pedals. The second day, we spent a few minutes again without the pedals, and then once we put the pedals on, he almost immediately started actually riding on his own. He told me, “Why did I avoid this? It’s so much fun!” He has been out every day since practicing and enjoying his bike. This bike was worth every penny!

    Training Wheels Compatible

    We recommend using the balance bike method when teaching your child to ride a bike, but understand all children learn differently.

    Compatible training wheels can be purchased here for our 14", 16", and 20" Bikes.
