You can consider buying if you want to save money. Medium in severity - 8 kg. There are also heavier ones - 10-11 kg, there are also lighter ones - 6+ kg. Cumbersome, requires refinement-adjustment-tightening of the cones of the rear hub, you will have to go to the service or buy a set of keys. The frame is too high for a child (deflection is insufficient), but not critical. Description has been overwritten.
- 7.9 kg for a child is on the verge. The boy is probably normal, but I have a girl, although she is large, 3.5 years old, and active, but she fills up when she rolls nearby, the desire did not repulse, but there was no craving either - rather “I don’t want to”, but she agrees under persuasion. Well, this format is still felt as large for this age. Although he rides a balance bike, you won’t catch up, though the balance bike is very light (outgrown, unfortunately). Here I fell for the reviews "the easiest. " By the way, the description correctly says - 7.9 kg. This is a normal bike. I recommend that those who bought it remove everything that is possible - fender liner and front brake, at least for a start.
- Assembly took a decent time + file. Packed really well and carefully. 1 evening for the first "curve" assembly, 2nd evening for disassembly-assembly of the rear hub (I had to remember the experience of the Soviet "Ukraine").
- Without adjustment, the rear wheel in free rotation made a QUARTER of a turn and stopped - without adjustment, nothing . In the absence of a tool, it was possible to adjust the cone only on one side. On the other hand, it was not possible to approach - you need a thin key and a key in the form of a fork with bends at the end, or some kind of round-nose pliers with thin tips. It began to rotate at least 5 revolutions before stopping. You definitely need to bring it to the bike shop, you won’t go out of the box.
The rest is trifles. Could be improved, but solved:
- the front brake (on a cable) requires adjustment, rubs against the front wheel.
- no keys included. I had the usual hexagons and keys, but the rear sleeve cannot be disassembled without special keys.
- there is no quick-release seat height adjustment.
