Is this a good bike for a 17 year old?

The frame seems too small unless he's under 5'5". I tried riding it and my knees bump the handlebars. I can ride it standing up though but not for very long.

No. Too small. Seat is hard. It's good for an 10 year old. His knees would hit the handlebars.

My son is 12. 5'5". He's already outgrown this bike. But then again, he doesn't do any trick on it either. Maybe for a 17 year old , he stand most of the time and does tricks. But sit and just ride. No way. Knees would hit the bars

Yes the bike is very light and easy to ride. At 5.5 it should be perfect.I'm 5.10 and had to make several adjustments for my height. Only recommendation is to look into a more comfortable seat. It's a little uncomfortable on those longer rides

I bought this bike for my 11 year old daughter, she is about 4'11", I think it would be fine for you.

I would suggest staying with this bike. I've got it and it has decent parts for the price. You're going to want to upgrade saddle and tires on any bike in this price range. The frame on this bike is quite good, nice clean welds, good dropouts.

Yes, I believe this bike would be good for your size. The seat is adjustable, it's a study bike. You will need to pump up tires when you put it together. This was purchased for a 6' guy around 200 lbs. It's a good looking bike and would serve your needs - per Dr's orders! Enjoy

It's a tough bike. It's for an adult with a small frame. I've ridden it and I'm 190 pounds and 6 ft tall. It handled well

Probably want to go with something more advance for that age, maybe something with peddals. I would say this bike is geared more toward 2.5 - 5 year olds.

Yes I would recommend it. I gave it to my five year old and he transferred his skills to a regular bike without training wheels in 2 months!

It's quite heavy. My 14 year old loved it til it was stolen. It would be a bike he could grow into. I'd buy it for that age.

I think it should be fine, it has a adjustable seat height. I like the bike, You can adjust the tension to regulate how hard it is to pedal. It's a nice bike for the price. Don't expect a expensive one, but it works fine, if you use it.

Could work ok for a beginner. Wouldn't take long for a 12 year old to learn the basics and be ready for some real power. I would save my money and get a used Japanese bike or possibly a 125 pit bike

It's a fun bike. Requires minimal assembly. My son, who was three when I purchased this last year, has loved it. So have his two sisters, ages six and seven.

It's a bike for an adult. The ride is comfortable, once you install a superior quality crankshaft and bottom bracket. Any basic/ entry level Shimano or SRAM parts should do fine. Don't break the bank by purchasing overly expensive components. I got some good deals and upgraded with very good SRAM components parts.

Its a decent bike, but its big I am 5-11. I had the bike over a year with no problems. Only thing I changed was the seat since it was not comfortable for long periods of ride. Also changed the tires to road ones for a smoother ride on the street since I live in nyc

I purchased this bike for my son when he was 4. It fit him really well. He rode it until recently when mom ran over it in the drive. I have replaced it with a 16" bike but he was still riding it comfortably when it was damaged. It is a really sturdy built bike. Jacob really enjoyed it.

It is suitable for adults, my 14 year runs it around, has no problems with it. It actually is a bit intimidating to me. I would ride it, but I would probably hurt myself. Seems rather big to me
