Transformer Optimus Prime 16-Inch Kids' Bike

Nice bike

My son loves Optimus Prime so was very happy to receive this bike for his 4th birthday. But he is not used to the brakes (back pedalling) on the bike so still a challenge...he's afraid of falling off so haven't been on it long enough to really rate it. As of now, he prefers his tricycle. We need to practice a little more on the bike. It is quite heavy so we have to help him off and on. Overall, the bike seems very sturdy.

Good bike but...

After chunking some cheaper bikes I noticed one bike made by Kent lasted over three years of heat and rain. This is one sweet looking bike and under all the frills is one tough looking bike. One thing is it is heavy and so it is slower than other bikes we own.

A bike your kid will like but limited quality for the price

My 5 year old son likes his new bike because it is a Transformer bike. However, he does get frustrated by it's weight sometimes, especially trying to go up an incline. And I get frustrated because his seat is constantly crooked, and I can't seem to tighten it enough to make that stop happening. All in all, I would say buy this bike if your kid is really into Transformers, but otherwise you are probably better off with something a bit better built.

Not bad but not good either

My 3 year old son loves this bike - Mainly because it's his first bike and it has Optimus Prime on it. That's the good part. The bad part - this bike is cheap. Some parts broke before my son even rode it. I took them off and he never knew. So, for learners this bike is ok, but if your kid rides a lot get something better.

Nice looking bike, but abit heavy

The kids like this bike but the training wheels are not made that good and wore out very quickly. The bike is also very heavy for a 16" bike and my son had to use his older brothers old 16" while learning how to ride it without the training wheels. A lighter bike is just easier to handle from him. I wish they made bikes more practical little kids these days.....
