Super cheap add-ons, but mechanically fine.

The bike itself isn't bad, but the add-ons are cheaper than the cheap ones! Thomas' face on the front of the bike won't stay no matter what. The knitting needles are made of paper. The Thomas display on the handlebars is held in place by zip ties, which also hold other gear in place during transport. The instructions I received were "generic" and completely inappropriate for the bike, but still fairly easy to assemble. That being said, there is nothing mechanically wrong with this bike and I…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

This bike is working but needs some work to get it running.

My son likes the bike but I have some complaints about it. I think for the price of the bike there shouldn't be any issues that I've seen with other Amazon users. On the first ride my son could barely ride the bike, after some fiddling I wanted to give the chain a little bit so he could pedal. The seat came very snug, no concessions. The seat came crooked, he can still ride it, but I'll either have to adjust it or call the manufacturer for a new one. The bike is very heavy my son is about 36lbs

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Negative Impression

it's a decent price // BUT (I have 2 of them bought the stuff) This is NOT for kids under 5 unless they are huge. My children are 5 years old, they are average height boys. with the seat as low as possible you can't put your feet on the ground it's also heavy, about 21 kilos, the kids are only 35, the instructions are terrible but at least i can assemble the bike. A few things would be tricky with no cycling experience but putting in a stem (spring style) (it also comes with a piece of plastic…

Pros
  • easy installation
Cons
  • some small things

The pedal and chain mechanism fell apart completely! VERY DISAPPOINTING!

I bought this for my son's 4th birthday last year. He is madly in love with Thomas and was delighted with the bike, but only ridden it on his birthday and then put it aside because he wasn't feeling too well at the time. It sat in the garage like that for a year before finally deciding about a week ago that it was comfortable enough to switch from a trike to a bike. He literally only rode it for a week and it fell apart! One section of the pedal chain, I think it's called the crank, fell apart…

My four year old loves his Thomas bike!

My mother gave my son a Thomas Train bike for his fourth birthday in July 2015. My son is a HUGE fan of Thomas and his friends and my mum knew this would make a great gift and how right she was. When my mom came in on her bike he was so excited, jumping up and down screaming, yelling "I have Thomas' bike." lol. I was so happy to see his little face beaming. He rides this bike every day. We have a big basement and he goes in there and out. He loves ringing the bell and listening to the phrases…

Pros
  • Thomas Paint Deluxe
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Disappointing customer service from the manufacturer after a defective part.

This bike is very cute and I'm sure my son will love it when he opens it on Christmas morning, but that's not down to the manufacturer. A key part to build the bike arrived broken which means the bike could not be assembled properly. I contacted the manufacturer as instructed and it took me over five days to get a response from them. When I finally got a response they told me they could send a new part but it wouldn't arrive before Christmas because they didn't expedite shipping. I asked them…

Pros
  • Training wheels
Cons
  • Requires outlet
