can these bikes be fitted with training wheels? My son is now learning and this size would be best for him due to his height.

The back tire is held on with a nut on each side so a long as the training wheels use a standard fitting it should work. Just take the nut off and insert the training wheel bracket under the nut.

yes, training wheels can be added. we purchased the training wheels separately, the same brand though.

No, it does not come with training wheels and no, there is not a safe place to put training wheels. This motorcycle moves really, really fast. As fast as an adult bicycle going very fast down a very steep hill. It should NOT be ridden by someone who is not comfortable on two wheels.

No, it doesn't come with training wheels. Honestly, if your child is still in training wheels, then this bike, because of the rear gearing, would probably be too difficult to peddle. Hope this helps.

It's a 12-inch, so it may be too short. My toddler used a 12-inch for the longest time and rides a 16 now at age 5. If your little guy is a bit short for his age, then this may work for a while, BUT in the meantime, I'd suggest a 14". A too-small bike can make it just as difficult to learn to ride as a too-large one. Try this one: http://www.amazon.com/Dynacraft-Boys-Baseball-14-Inch-Wheels/dp/B005JHRU2A/ref=sr_1_2?s=cycling&ie=UTF8&qid=1381974794&sr=1-2 It's a 14", so it won't be *too* tall or too short. Or this one, if baseball isn't his thing: http://www.amazon.com/Jeep-Boys-Bike-14-Inch-Wheels/dp/B0046XOQUC/ref=sr_1_11?s=cycling&ie=UTF8&qid=1381974794&sr=1-11

I think it will be perfect. My son got this bike at age 3 1/2 last Christmas and he was about that size. He is now 40" and is riding it without the training wheels and it is perfect for him.

No, mine was about 33 inches tall when we bought it and he rides it like a champ. I highly recommend this bike, my 5 yr old rode it for a bit too- after a short time he jumped on his bike and took his training wheels off.

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.

There ate holes on the frame where it looks like you could attach them, but I would recommend a smaller bike if he's still at training wheel stage.

I'm not sure, but this bike is not for someone who uses training wheels. It is so well-made and adorable, but not easy for a beginner to ride. My almost 7 year old daughter, who is quite tall for her age, has been riding without training wheels for a year and she needed some time to learn how to ride this one. The handle bars are big and far away which makes it tricky to control and steer until you're comfortable on it. She is barely able to reach the ground with tip toes. For the right age and ability, this bike is the best!

it will ultimately fit any bike but the question is the total sustained weight. My little girl is bigger than the usual girls her age and thus even though I was able to work it out using some of the old parts, the frame on these bent. I am now just trying to teach her to ride without training wheels after 2 sets she has already bent.

Not at all. We are just now teaching our daughter, 5-1/2 and 45", to ride this bike without training wheels - we raised the seat this weekend and it's still a perfect fit. Neighbors with 7-8 year olds also use this size bike, which I think is the top end of the age/size range for the frame and wheel size.

It depends on how tall he is, I started my son on a 12 inch wheel bike at 2 and didnt get this bike until he was off traing wheels at age 4. The 16 inch wheel bikes were to hard for him to touch the ground. The other thing is the bike has no reflectors ( wish I would have known that before) hope that's helps

My purchase went to twin 7 year olds 44 inches tall and they learned in a day. They had smaller bike but with training wheels....no training wheels on these bikes and they did fine.

Yes, this bike would be too small. My 6 & 8-y-o both have this bike. The frame is shorter. It is also a beginner bike so when you back peddle it brakes so it makes it tough to do tricks and stuff

We bought training wheels- they are not included with this bike. The ones we got were easy to install.

We purchased this bike for our 6 year old grandson who was about 40 inches tall at the time. He is on the short end of the spectrum. He has had no problem with the bike and the training wheels are now off and he is doing great.
