Featuring a low stand-over steel frame, dual braking system, and removable training wheels, it offers safety and adaptability as kids build their skills. With pro-inspired metal spoked wheels and an adjustable seat, this bike combines durability and growth-ready design to keep young riders confident and in control. ## Description For almost 40 years, Mongoose has been in the dirt, on the trails, and off the ramps. Founded in 1974 in a Southern California garage, Mongoose has always been an aggressive brand with products that push the limits of what a rider can do. Ride your own BMX for the first time, all by yourself, with the Mongoose Switch Boy's Freestyle BMX Bike with Training Wheels. A low, stand-over steel frame allows for easy access and control for young children. A foot brake allows for confidence when stopping. Styled like a pro rider's bike, this kid's bike features metal spoked wheels and black grips. An alloy four-bolt stem and four-piece handlebars adds strength for the ride. The durable chain guard helps protect from scrapes and cuts, while the removable training wheels help first-time riders find their balance at their own pace. This bike ships ready to be assembled and is ideal for riders between the ages of 8 and 10. The wheels measure 18 inches. Review: Great bike at a great price! - **Update from last review** We went head and ordered a 2nd exact same bike for our other son. This time we got a desertcart return (One at a discount). The bike had a few minor imperfections, slightly bent front wheel (2min fix w/ a spoke tool) and a bent right side crank bearing (Pretty simple and painless fix if you know how to repair it). Also did a rear tire coaster brake conversion to a freewheel since my son wanted a bike that could back pedal. Am I happy with both bikes, YES. Are my sons happy, YES. If I had to buy them both over again, YES I would buy them. ***First post*** Read lots of reviews and to be honest. Allot of folks should just buy a preassembled bike if they can’t read directions. Very strait forward and easy to put together. Make sure you have all the tools needed before starting on this, plan on it taking 20-40mins depending on your mechanical skill level. Does Not come with a kick stand! No problem, we pulled the adjustable one off my sons old bike that we got on desertcart for $5. I will be buying another one of these again for my other son when his B-Day comes around. If he behaves 😉 Absolutely yes a good buy! Review: Calid - Calidad, diseño y resistencia.

And the instruction that comes with the product is not clear at all **Q: Does this bike have a kick stand?** A: No You don't need a kick stand until the training wheels come off. There's a center hole for a standard type and other other after market models that will work just fine for under $20. **Q: Dose the bike comes with training wheels** A: yes, it does have its training wheels **Q: Does this bike have coaster brakes and caliper front brake?** A: Yes, it has both. Hopefully you get all the parts to the bike tho...parts were missing to the one I purchased and when I reached out to Amazon they never responded.
