is the Bell Motivator Mag Indoor Bicycle Trainer suitable for a 16" size bike? I would like my son to use a bike trainer but amazon doesn't specify the bike size for this bike trainer

My bike wheel including the tire measures just under 24 inches... like 23.5...will this do? Has anyone measured from the wheel anchor to the tire contact patch on this device in the smallest radius configuration?

While my bike is not a fixed gear bike, I can say that the trainer does not interfere with or change the way the gears work. The only thing that matters is whether your bike has the right kind of removable rear wheel.

I am 5 ft 1 inch tall, I wonder if this would be a little bit heavy for her to propel? I have the seat on the lowest setting, and I am thinking maybe she could ride this ok, is there a childs sized one out there? Maybe you could put some sort of wooden blocks on the pedals in case her legs are a little too short. Do you want me to measure anything for you? Its sitting here in my garage and would be happy to measure it for you. I really like the bike.Cheers, Cheryl

This bike is for 8 years and up. Got big wheels. I don't think you can mount training wheels on it. You can look for training wheels that fit 20" bike wheels. I hope it will help.

The 18" should bd fine.or 16".With a bigger wheel you pedal slower, which requires more balancing skill.i have read the hours to get competent are about 50 or more, compared to 1 hour for a bicycle. Takes a lot of patience.

Although I do not know where to find the manual, I received a trainer last year for Christmas. Maybe I can help if you have a specific question. I really like mine. I have used three different bicycles on it so far. Feel free to contact me at tchr66@gmail.com if I can help.

I think this one will work. I don't remember my son's measurements right off hand, but we lowered it for him and he was able to learn how to ride on it. We couldn't find a smaller one when we were looking. But our boy certainly got our money's worth out of this one. In fact, he's now bought a newer more robust one.

It sounds like it may be a good fit for your son. The description says for novice riders, but I think advanced is more appropriate. The difficulty comes from the amount of air my son catches and he is not prepared to land with his bicycle. More practice is required.

A 12 " My 20 year old son is a pro mountain bike racer now. I bought him a 12" when he was 1 year old by the time he was 3 years old it fit him perfectly and he could ride it without training wheels. The 12" easily fit him and lasted up to he was about 6 years of age. I just bought my 2 year old grandson a 12" for his birthday last November for his birthday.

I have a question ...I have a schwinn ladies 26" frontier f s bike. Is the Wald 742 training wheel a good fit?

With an adjustable seat you can make it fit easily. Bought this last year for my twin grandsons, who will be six in February and are a bit small for their age. They are still riding theirs but after next summer will need to go up a size. By the way, you still can't beat the quality of a Radio Flyer, sturdy and well built. Would definitely recommend if this is his first bike as the training wheels are not wobbly/loose like on some brands.

Yes, my 4 year old loved it and she is a shorter 4 year old. We are now looking at the 16 inch. With the 16 inch she struggles a little to do a full pedal since her legs cant reach.

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

I am using the bike for a 16" kids bike that previously had training wheels. The bike does not have a kick stand so it does not stand up without leaning a handle bar on another bike.

Strider bikes have a 12" wheel size. Move to a 16" or even 18". My almost 7y (51") is getting this for his 7th birthday as the 16" is just not getting small. He was 44-45" when he turned 4y. If it's too big, they won't be able to ride it.

Hey Phil, I purchased this item and it includes a skewer and a front tire stand so bike will be level.The skewer is used if you have a rear quick release wheel. If you have a bike without a quick release, then you can use the screws on the trainer to tighten your rear wheel to the trainer. Its much easier this way because all you have to do is released the handle and bike is ready to ride. To use the skewer, you have to remove the quick release lever on your bike and install the trainer skewer. It is easy. I have a 29" and it fit fine. Now I use my 27" bike and I don't have to remove the quick release lever on my bike anymore. Hope this helps.

Problem with this model schwinn & some of their other low-cost models like the volare is they do not give specific frame dimensions.. I have a 29" inseam, and when I stand with my feet on the ground above the frame on the volare, I just barely clear the top frame rail.. I have measured the seat post to crank pedal and it comes in at 18"..20" is approx. 51cm in bike talk,and a frame size considered small ok for someone my size,but probably not right for you..Schwinn offers similiar bikes based on the same design at walmart on-line( Varsity models)too bad about the bike sizing info,the volare has been a great value performing bike!
