Overview
Cruising the neighborhood on air-filled tires and a cushioned saddle is the job of this kids beach cruiser. Pedaling backward works the coaster brake, and a full chain guard protects legs and clothes.
One speed and a coaster brake mean almost nothing to adjust or break, which suits young riders and busy parents. Hand brakes are absent, and the listing mixes wheel sizes, so measuring the child first matters.
Who it's for
Kids past training wheels who ride sidewalks and bike paths get an easy, low-maintenance bike. Riders facing steep hills will want gears and hand brakes.
Pros and cons
- Coaster brake is simple to learn
- Full chain guard
- Adjustable seat and handlebars
- Air-filled tires soften bumps
- Single speed only
- Wheel size listed inconsistently
- Steel frame adds weight
Performance notes
Single-speed gearing is easy on flat ground but makes climbs hard work. The coaster brake stops by back-pedaling, so it works even when small hands are tired. Thick tires absorb cracks in the pavement.
