RoyalBaby Astro Kids Bike 14-18 Inch Magnesium Alloy Bicycle

Very nice bike. However, two things to be aware of: 1. There is no coaster brake. Only hand brakes. 2. Returns are not free. They charge $76 shipping. We tried to cancel the order less than one day after ordering (when we discovered there is no coaster brake and were told it was too late. We did not ship it back and they offered a 15% discount. So far our 4 year old grandson seems to be making the transition to the hand brakes only.

Bought this bike for our grandson’s 7th birthday … he loved it. Was easy to put together and arrived sooner than expected. It seems to be built well and we will probably buy another smaller version for our 4 yr old grandson.

I am really impressed with this bike. It was very easy to assemble and the adjustments were simple to make. The frame is lightweight and comfortable for my child to handle. The red color looks great in person and my kid loves everything about it. The hand brakes work smoothly and the little bell is a fun touch that my child keeps using. The ride itself is very smooth and feels well made. Overall, this has been a great purchase. My kid is excited to ride it every day and I have no complaints at all. 5 stars. If you want, I can also polish the title to match this exact tone.

This is comfortable . My son enjoy riding

Rides Great! Not Lightweight. The geometry is really nice for a 16" which makes it ride very well, but it's definitely no lighter than most bikes you'd find at Walmart. It may be cast from magnesium, but most of the frame is actually solid, not tubular, so it's much heavier than it looks. All that being said, this is my 4yo son's first pedal bike and he was able to hop on and immediately take off riding! (we started on a 12" strider). He's 43" tall and It's a hair on the big side for him, but it is really stable, has great geometry and really does work very well. Do note that on top of some assembly, the brakes actually needed quite some adjustment out of the box, so much so that they wouldn't have actually stopped the bike when pulled. Adjusting the cable resulted in a much firmer brake feel. Also note that this style of brake doesn't fully lock up, so they're great for learning how to operate lever brakes without being too "tricky". That said, older kids (dad) may not be able to stop easily down large hills.

This bike is awesome! Super easy directions to follow and assemble. Fits my 5 year old perfectly with room to grow. He hopped on and rode off straight away. Love that the kickstand is near the back tire so it doesn’t get hung up on the pedals.

Compared to other variants from royal baby this has heavier and wider tires. It seems to be more of a challenge to push compared to the EZ shark. Build quality is in the same level. The price was right so took the gamble.

I bought this for my grandchild. His two older brothers have a bike from the same company that they love.
