Why should I get this one over the $80 Hello Kitty (or Dora) bike?

My wife and I didn't want the typicle "princess" bike and this one is very well built and will last my 4 year old daughter long after she is over the Dora and hello kitty faze.

It's just a preference I suppose. Any of those will probably do the job. I'm happy with the DB, it's well built and it's neutral - so if my daughter stops liking Dora, doesn't matter.

Quality. I've bought cheaper bikes before. Venders rub the wheels, chain guard rubs against the chain,stickers fall off..... You get what you pay for.

It's a much better quality bike overall. I find it is easier for my daughter to pedal and steer.

It seems to be good quality, no problems yet after 5 months of riding, and it does not have Hello Kitty or Dora on the bike.

This is our kids second bike and I would highly recomend it. The Diamondback is better built than the other bikes we have bought and is very durable. Our kids ride these on trails by our house and they work great.

I think the answers by others are good, but I say no. Go to a good sporting goods like Dick's or [my favorite] Academy Sports and try out theirs. I like my bike but if I was starting all over I think I might go for an eliptical machine.

Hello, There really is not much of a difference. On the new model, we changed the seat a bit not to include the plastic cushon/pad. Also, one of the hardware pieces changes from a nut to a bold. We permanently discontinued the black Tricycoo. I think those were the only changes. Are you familiar with the Joovy? We have several other toys as well. I personally love the Bicycoo which is Joovy's balance bike. It is great for speeding up the transition from toddler to bike without training wheels. If you have any more question please respond below in the comments or contact Joovy's Customer Care Center. They love answering any questions you may have. Thanks! Thanks!

Have to be careful of what you read on the internet. There are a lot of folks on this forum that don't own a bike nor have they even ridden one since kiddie tricycle days, but are completely engrossed into the space occupied by a supposed 16 pound bike they will not ever own....and that would cost at least $5,000. For a bike in this real world price range (under $500), 25 pounds would be quite light-weight and completely acceptable. The Northwoods I bought for my wife (this model), it is in the 25 pound range (21-24 pounds +/-) seems quite light and sporty. It is not at all clunky or heavy like some bikes you might buy at a department or hardware store. This bike has an aluminum frame and almost all allow gears and components which the dept store bike won't. You could buy this Northwoods with confidence and find it is quite a good ride. On the other side; in only a few rare cases is the shipping weight quoted in an ad anywhere close to correct, nor is the ratio of shipping weight to product weight consistent enough to make it useful.

I can get you one if you give me an email. I have comments if you'd like.1. It's very heavy so taking off all the the bells and 2. The bike itself looks good3. It's worth sinking a little money into.3. Folds easy and mechanism easy to use.4. Folding feature is best for getting it into the trunk. But not tiny.Very easy and well made (pedals and break handles excluded). It's actually easiest to maneuver open and lock up with the handle.

I would go for the 16 inch. The bike has training wheels so is stable, and the kids grow so fast!

The frame is nice, over-sized tubes instead of skinnier older style frame, it has padding in the proper places and was easy to assemble. My 3 yr old daughter loves it it's the perfect size for her and she flies around on that thing. Of course she has two older sisters to try to keep up with but anyway it is a good quality bike.

YES, this a very cute bike, built very good was very surprised. A great deal for the money, and granddaughter loved it!

My husband and I both have hybrid bikes. Mine was $600 but I don't know if you'd consider it higher end or not. It works just fine on both our bikes. In fact, we alternate on trips so that neither of us gets too tired.

I am also wondering which one to buy for my 19 month old little girl.There's only a $10 price difference. I want to know which one she will enjoy the most and actually use.

I am not an expert...but the bike, for the low price, is actually well made and sturdy, not a piece of junk...it has a large comfy seat and a back and you can adjust it. It is very comfortable and quiet. I paid $139 and it was well worth it. The only thing I can imagine is that at a heavier weight it might not last as long..but that's no big deal. If it gets you started on moving...it's worth it. I have a bad back, that is why I got a recumbent bike and it's really great. I didn't want to spend a lot of money in case I didn't use it as much as I hope...so it is in the corner facing the TV and a half hour goes by in no time. Good Luck with your decision!

Hi SG I don't know what you're getting for $932.38 but the correct price for a new bike with a full two year warranty is $1,299.00 It's a really great bike too. I have sold many of them and several of the buyers told me there's just nothing better than an electric bike with front wheel drive. Personally I prefer lots of power but for casual riding around this is the bike to get. Kind Regards Jack

David Brinkmeyer is spot on with his answer. It is a great bike but if you are going to be hauling a load you should step up to higher quality bike with more gears and better brakes.

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.

i got to try both of them out in a store they both feel really smooth but i went with the Nautilus e514 it just felt a bit more sturdy and has a nicer display the schwinn 420 display was kinda hard to read as the Nautilus was light up bright with big nurbers and imo is the better buy ...... i had my Nautilus e514 for 4 months now and i use every day and its still like the 1st day i brought it .... and im only 5"4 so we are pretty much the same hight ' good luck on your work outs and hope my review helps

I can't speak to the comparison, but I can say that after a couple of months of using the WeeRide Co-Pilot with my daughter who is 5 years old, 3'7" and 45lbs, the bike has been great! No problems with quality or construction, and we've been on numerous rides to this point, the other day for about 2 hours.

In my opinion the Freestyle is a lower-end bike. The Scan 18 comes with a gyro (brake cable detangler that allows you to spin the handlebars completely around) and is built with better quality parts. My son has been tearin' it up on this thing and it's holding up very well after more than a year. He loves it.
