My son (3yo) was getting very good at the balance bike, and it was time to transition to him to a pedal bike. My wife and I first got him some cheap bike from amazon, but were saddened when it was very difficult for my son to lift and control the bike, as it was quite heavy and the inseam height was around 20" making it too tall for him to put his feet fully on the floor. We decided to take the plunge and get him a Biky bike (14"), and we are SO HAPPY we did.
Immediately he was able to lift the bike, put his feet on the floor, and start peddling. The turning restrictor was nice for safety. At first I was questionable if not having a coaster brake was good or not, but as he started riding I could hear the sound of him back pedaling but still cruising so I knew with any other bike he would have stopped.
Assembly was easy, the build quality is great, and it also looks amazing. I am 100% satisfied with my purchase and will buy the Biky 16" when my son gets a little older.
As nothing is perfect, the only downside to the bike is that it doesn't have a kickstand which would be nice. I have seen some kickstands get in the way of the foot however, so this might be a conscious decision and to my son, he doesn't mind not having one.
Keep up the great work Biky, I am so happy to have found this bike and have been recommending it to anyone I come across!
I'm so happy to be able to ride with my son and check out any construction vehicle we come across.
