United StatesGreat Upgrade
Great. Very easy to assemble. The neck had some goop from the glue they use to secure the shipping pad. But they provided suggestion to clean it off. I ended up using goo-gone. But the said it I couldn’t remove it or didn’t want to hassle they would quickly send out a new neck to install. My son jumped on it a road it like broke in old pair of shoes. He loves his new bike.

Hi there, Guardian Bikes here. I'm sorry to hear your stem arrived with glue on it! This tends to happen in transit due to the warm weather. But, I'm happy to hear you were able to remove it! I'm glad to hear your kiddo is loving their new bike and making such strides!! 🥳 If you have any questions or concerns along the way please, don't hesitate to ask! Our team is here for you. Thanks, Amber @ Guardian Bikes.
United StatesAwesome bike for learning
My son loved the learning experience only problem was rising the seat. The raised seat kept lowering itself even when tightened.

United StatesNoticeable difference
So just like many of the other parents have mentioned, my kid is a late bloomer when it comes to riding a bike. Mainly because learning to ride a bike is scary. But the guardian bike decreases the learning curve. My 11-year-old daughter learned how to ride in two days. The biggest thing that stood out is her confidence. That’s what every parent wants to see. I didn’t give it five stars because upon receiving the bike, the front break was not connected. I didn’t want to go through the hassle of contacting the company again because the back brake works really well. And contrary to what the instructions have said about the front brake activating when the lever is pressed, I think it is more of an assembly issue. Overall, we’re extremely happy with our purchase and will be making another one for my younger son.

Hello Jose- So glad to hear your daughter is now riding with confidence! My apologies for having issues with the front brake. Please reach out to us at info@guardianbikes.com if you are still having this issue. We would be happy to help. The Guardian Bike Team
United StatesExcellent bike for my 9 year old - need to calibrate before shipment
This is my 2nd bike from Guardian. The first bike was calibrated well. However, for this bike, the derailleur was not calibrated and the bike did not shift well. Nothing was bent and I assembled the same way as the first bike out of the box. Shipping was very fast. I would rather Guardian spent an extra day making sure the shifting was calibrated similar to the first bike. For this bike, I calibrated the derailleur myself and was issued a small refund for my troubles. Overall, satisfied with this purchase.
United StatesA very nice bike
I couldn't get the handlebar tight enough as to not slide. Other than that, my oldest and youngest love it. They can ride a bike now. They have even mentioned how much nicer their new bike is than the ones I had purchased for them in past years. My two middle children are still in the learning process. They'll get there eventually. I look forward to being able to afford a second bike. :)
