Review on JOYSTAR Balance Years Rubber Adjustable by Richard Simmons

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I hate this bike for trikes, scooters and vans

I hate this bike. I'm not a mechanical idiot. I used to work in retail and built many, many, many kids bikes. I am the queen of IKEA furniture. I enjoy the challenge. So trust me when I say the build of this bike is TERRIBLE. The instructions are for the wrong bike, so you'll have to go through them, trying to figure out what applies to your bike and skipping over what doesn't. What applies isn't the exact model you have, so take a guess and make adjustments. There aren't any guides on the web, just a very simple YouTube video that highlights the most difficult parts. The company discounted the owner's manual at 50 cents and used what they had. You should look elsewhere because that 50 cent saving will cost you an extra two hours to assemble the damn thing. The bike itself may be great, my kid might love it... but now I despise it.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Some flaws
