Isit easy for a first time pedaler to pedal this bike?

It is an easy bike to peddle, but this bike is for kids who are five and up. If you are looking for a first time bike for a kid younger than that I would go down a size. It is easier to balance a bike when it is closer to the ground.

It's not too bad but could still take a little effort. This is my son's first bike and he powers it pretty well. All things improve with practice!

No, this was my 4 yr olds first bike and he has a very hard time getting the pedals to move

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

Hi Susie, I personally thought this was a great bike for my grandson who was five at the time of purchase. Remember it's a glide and does not have wheels. My grandson loved the bike but preferred the wheels. It is an EXCELLENT 1st bike for little guys. If you have not watched the video please do so. It is great for teaching balance and can not me any easier to put together, 5min. Best of wishes with your decision. Enjoy! Donna KDonna T. Kasinak answered on January 25, 2013

Basically ready, yes. You do have to adjust the pedals and straps. Just a reminder that this bike does the pedaling FOR you. You just keep up with it at whatever speed you set it at. We found maximum was about 80-90. If you do the pedaling it will ruin the motor. This bike is best for those who need passive exercise (knee surgery) or forced exercise (Parkinson's, stroke). My husband uses it for his Parkinson's as it really loosens him up.

Not very difficult. Once assembled I took it to a bike shop to have the shifters more finely tuned. The bike shop owner thought this was a very nice bike for the price.

I would think so, but I would encourage you to have it put together by someone who is very knowledgeable about bikes because the directions are very confusing and not really for a novice.

Bought it for my son (9) and daughter (13) it is a perfect bike for someone just learning to ride. I would recommend to anyone interested in purchasing a bike. Its easy to put together, the only assembly required was installing handlebars and adding gas and oil which does not have to be mixed.

My son scoots around on it since a couple months before his 2nd birthday. However he doesn't really "ride" it. I would think that would take a few months of practice at that young age. No pedals but I've not seen a balance bike that can. This is a great quality bike and one of the best balance bikes I've seen.

it is as easy as simply positioning the bike, turning a couple cranks, adjusting the tension wheel for the size of bike wheel and then getting on and riding the bike. I am a 67 year old grandmother who set it up in about seven minutes!

My husband put it together and he said that it took only 4 steps. Be sure to read the instructions because they tell you exactly which way to turn the pedals to install them. He usually dreads putting things like this together, and he said that it was very easy. It took him 10 minutes to do it.

Assembly only took maybe 20 minutes. Putting the pedals on, handle bars, front wheel and seat. Was not complicated at all.

This bike is flip flop. Have 2 cogs if you choose free wheel or fixie. Is very easy to do :) yes you can do it

It's decently put together. You have to put the front wheel on, the pedals, and the handlebar and the fork. And it comes with the single speed cog on so if you want to ride as a fixit you have to flip the rear wheel. The biggest thing is the toos don't come with it so you will need a decent number of tools but that's not that big of a deal

Yes, it's somewhat easy but I had to watch some YouTube videos to ensure I did it properly. The directions are not helpful. I ended up taking it to a bike shop for proper calibration. Cost about $30 but the bike has been great ever since. I ride 2x week, long distance and have owned it a year.
