RoyalBaby Freestyle-EZ Kids Bike, Easy Beginner to Learn Balancing to Biking, 16 18 Inch Balance & Pedal Bicycle for Boys Girls Ages 4-9 Years, Instant Assembly, Multiple Color Options

Ok let me start by saying this is the 3rd bike I have purchased for my son in the last 2 summers. I got him a Schwinn for his first bike and the part where the pedals connect to the bike fell apart after a few months of use. So I bought a bike at Walmart and that bike again fell apart the same way after a few months of regular use, not abuse.So for my son’s 6th birthday I researched on Amazon and read a lot of reviews and decided on this bike. I am so happy with this bike and my son loves it too. Let me explain.This bike is solidly built and feels very nice to handle. Set up was a breeze. The best part of this bike is the ease with my son learning to ride without the training wheels. We had him ride it like it suggests without the pedals on and after he was zooming around with the use of his legs, we popped on the pedals which is a super easy to put on and take off. After 2 days he was riding this bike without the training wheels and we are so proud. My son was so happy to be riding his bike like a big boy and can now ride with his big sister and keep up. I am so thoroughly impressed with the quality of this bike and the ease of learning to ride without training wheels. It’s worth the extra money to buy this bike versus the cheaper alternatives online. The bike is well built and should last a long time. Seats and handle bars are easy to adjust as your child grows too. The bike is super nice looking in person and certainly helps a child learn to ride without training wheels super quickly and successfully. I wish I had bought this bike the first time around as my son would surely had been off training wheels even sooner then 6 y/o. Don’t hestitate, this picky mom approves and I highly recommend this to other parents with kiddos who need a solid bike especially one for learning without the training wheels.We have had this bike for a month and my son uses it almost every day and it rides and looks just like it did when we first got it. Will update if anything changes since I rely on others reviews for making educated purchases on items.Update: We are now a little of 3 months of owning this bike and regular use. It is still holding up strong. Nothing has started to weaken or fail on us. The part where the pedals attach on to that moves the wheels with the pedal movement is still solid and sturdy. No signs of breakage like our other bikes did by this time. Still extremely happy with this bike and have recommended it to a few other parents who were happy to hear about this awesome bike. Hope this helps. 😊Update: This was our second summer with this bike. My son loves it and it still looks and rides great. I just am so happy buying bikes every couple months is no longer a trend i’m stuck in. This bike will certainly last until he has outgrown it. This has been a great purchase. It allowed my son to learn to ride without training wheel within days and has been a great bike almost daily use. Cannot go wrong with this one. Hope this helps you in making a decision if this bike is for you. I highly recommend to everyone with kids especially ones who want to get beyond training wheels.

Buy this bike! I can’t believe I didn’t know this existed earlier. I have 3 kiddos. All have started with a popular balance bike. #1 transitioned easily to a pedal bike, #2 just couldn’t get it, so I bought this for #3. He had a royal baby pedal bike with training wheels but dad accidentally broke it. He also had the tiny balance bike. We had been struggling to teach him and his sister to get the bike riding concept. I took this out of the box and I kid you not 10 minutes later he was pedaling the bike. His sister asked for a turn (8). She tried it with no pedals then we added them for her. After years and years of trying SHE was able to ride and pedal within 20 minutes. I really believe it’s the proportions of this bike. I almost bought one for her but then she got on her own bike and started pedaling! It’s been over a month now and you’d never know how much “pain and trouble” we had gone through to get #2 riding. Definitely a great 2nd bike if you started with a true balance bike or first if your kiddo is older. I believe they have smaller sizes but I can’t speak for those. We also got the one with one break and foot break. Only because it was cheaper on my part. We definitely didn’t need the upgrade as he uses both and doesn’t mess him up riding.

My son has had a balance bike since he was probably 2. He’s definitely out grown it and I didn’t want to purchase a bike with training wheels. This bike is great, fits him perfectly for being a large 4 year old at the time of purchase allowing him to practice riding without pedals or relying on training wheels. The day we got it, we went around the block with it as a balance bike then when we got home he wanted to put the pedals on. He immediately took off like he had been riding with 2 wheels and pedals for years. HIGHLY recommend balance bikes. Skip the training wheels. Love that this is made for bigger kids as they grow. Everyone always stops us and says he’s got a really cool bike with the “turbo” water bottle and neat bell. The pedals are super easy to pop on and off.

Overall this is a great bike and I love that the bike goes from a glider to a pedal bike in seconds with no tools required. I have one major safety concern with this product that all parents need to watch out for. This product has an imitation bike bell that has a button or coin battery. The cover is very easily removed, in fact it frequently falls off on it's own. Please read about Reese's law and talk to your children about the dangers of putting these batteries in their mouths. This battery should not be easily accessible to children due to the fact that it can be fatal if swallowed.

This bike serves it's purpose but I don't like it compared to my son's other bikes. It's very heavy and while I didn't think that'd be a huge issue I was wrong. We have a gravel driveway which our son rides on easily with his other bicycle and his previous pedal free bike but this bike takes much more work. I thought we'd have fun taking this to the bike path in town but instead I went to Walmart and bought a cheap 16in tire size bike for that. If I could go back in time, I'd buy the 14in name brand pedal free bike (we have the smaller version) instead of this one.
