So Far All Good
The bike was easy to put together and seems very well-made. My granddaughter loves it and feels confident on her new big bike. The experience buying the was smooth and many follow up messages to check on our experience. Very pleased.
Must buy
I was skeptical to purchase, but this bike is a must buy. My daughter learned to ride a bike in 1 day. She started off without the pedals and master balancing and gliding very quickly. The bike is so light and sturdy. The same day she wanted to put the pedals on, we put them on it and off she went. I only wish I had purchased it sooner.
Amazing
Just wanted to say thank you from a very happy mom. My 9 year old son with autism struggles with some coordination things but loves going on bike rides on our tandem bike and riding scooters, etc. He didn’t think he’d ever be able to ride a bike without training wheels, and honestly had a hard time riding even with them. Didn’t even want to ride a bike, it was so frustrating for him. After a couple of sessions of riding around on our driveway he was peddling down the sidewalk, no training wheels, and absolutely loves it! My older daughter tried it out too and says it’s the best quality bike she has ever ridden, and she currently has a very nice $500 small adult bike. Husband said it was by far the easiest bike he ever put together. Worth every penny!
This is the second bike we have purchased from Guardian. We got the first bike for our 6 1/2-year-old and he was often running within one day as promised. His success sealed the deal for big sis to get riding too!
Easy set up, kid loves it!
The bike was really easy to set up out of the box! My son couldn’t wait to get riding. He learned quickly how to use the hand brake and the gear shifts. The shifting is a little stiff but I think that will get better as he keeps riding and learns a little more about what works best for him. Sizing was right on- we used the sizing tool!
