Review on Schwinn Koen Boys SmartStart Wheels by Brandon Ball

I have to say the bike is very nice and well packaged. It comes partially assembled but everything Schwinn/China assembled needs to be redone for the bike to earn 4 stars. The rear wheel bolts were too tight and the chain was too tight, making the rear wheel difficult to turn. The crank adjustment has been set so tight that the pedals are difficult to turn, leading to premature bearing damage and child fatigue. With the right setting, everything turns easily and smoothly, and the child rides easily. The front wheel was not round and had to be straightened with a spoke adjustment. The handbrakes took a long time to adjust properly. If you're handy and can do all of the above adjustments, this is a good bike. If you don't have hands I wouldn't recommend this bike as there's more to bike assembly than what the assembly instructions say. Training wheels are a nice feature for this bike, but they look flimsy made out of plastic. The seat in the lowest position is 23 inches off the ground for those wondering if the bike is too big or too small for their child. My son just turned 4 and is 44 inches tall and seems a good fit for the size. Good bike for the money but will take some effort to fix mechanically as there is no quality control in Schwinn/China.
