What does this mean? "Sized for smaller riders only" Youth riders or small adults? I am looking for this for my 9 yr old - 85 lbs. Thanks

This unit will fit him just fine..It has a SM, MED, LG adapters for better fit for the individual...Ours came preset with the Medium adapter...We easily changed this to the Small adapter for better fit for my son who is similar size to your son....it will ultimately depend on chest size which adapter you select...

I believe it is meant for both kids and small adults. I bought this for my sister who is 5'9" and 175 lbs and its comfortably within the range of adjustment for her. Leatt has a sizing chart based off chest circumference and height. Its on the side of the box. Smallest chest on the box for this says 21 inches. Shortest height says 3'6". Hope this helps

It's adjustable, this will work for youth and small framed adults. It is worth the purchase for the safety factor.

I purchased this bike for my son. He is 9 years old and 52 inches tall. Sounds like your son is tall for his age, but this bike might be just a little too big. He might be better suited with a bike that has a 16 inch or 18 inch tire size. That brings the bike body a few inches closer to the ground. My son was riding an 18 inch up until he received this one as a gift.

There are two sizes. I bought the larger one. My son is about 5-5 and 120 pounds. He sits on it fine. He is handicapped. A couple family members tried it and they rode fine on it. They are not any bigger than that. I would say someone over 5-10 would feel awkward. But yes it does attach to a regular size bike.

The youth size may be a little smaller than this one. It may be possible, however I bought two of these and they are somewhat tight. I would go with the adult size.

Probably too small. I got it for a 12 year old who is small for his age under 80 pounds I think. His Little League coach recommended it.

Well I bought it for my grandson 2 years ago (he's was 6 at the time) and he stills uses it, but the only thing wrong with it is he said it was for little kids ( he's quite athletic) meaning it was to low for him. Hope this helps you out!!

We ended up calling Roller Derby and directly asked them. She said the Y is for Youth but doesn't understand why they would even add it to the size. They are children sizes and told us just to purchase the 13 vs selecting Y13. Hopefully that is right. I will find out in a couple days when we get the skates and if there is an issue I will post another comment.

Hello, I have a 3 year old and a 5 year old. I baught a 16inch for my 3 yr old. It's perfect size for him, especially with the training wheels. I baught the 18inch for my 5 year old. He rides without the training wheels.

I am not a child, but I do have the bicycle.. I am 5 ft 1 in and unable to ride an adult bike because my legs are very short due to rickets as a child. My balance is also not that good. My husband has my seat adjusted and replaced the original seat with one that was wider for more balance and comfort. Make sure you have the right air in the tires..it makes it much easier to pedal. She would have to be able to pull the brakes that are on the handle bar, but it has no gears and rides very smooth. I wish we lived close by so she could try mine. I think maybe she could master this bike. It has been a joy to me since I also cannot master a two wheeler. Good luck and God Bless.. I am not a child, but I do have the bicycle..

It's fine for an average adult, only consideration is it's size- anyone over 130 pounds or 5'8" might get a better ride with the larger one- 60". (I use the 60" and my daughter the 45")

I started riding with my son in it when he was 1 year old and up to when he was 4 years old and he surpassed the 40lb weight limit and out grew it. I'd have no problem riding a child under 1 yrs in it either

Hi Makayla...we bought this for my son right before he turned 14 and he loved it. I don't know how tall you are but he is about 5 ft tall and my only concern was that he would outgrow it a bit quickly. I think he still rides it and enjoys it! Good luck!

It is small, but my above average height 3 year old rides it with no problem. I'd say anyone older than toddler age would need the larger one.

Elizabeth, may I ask how it's working out for you - IF - you are using this? I am very petite also, and am wondering how it will work, especially since it's pre-tied in the back? (if I'm not misunderstanding descriptions ;)Any further explanations and tips about how it works for you, would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance! Blessings... :)

Get the small. I got the large and was irritated because there is no way my 1 year old will be able to ride on the large...probably until she is 3! I ended up buying the small to fit her. Now we have both and the large is in storage.

The product description for this bike says "Recommended for rider's height 5"3'-5"10'" . This is not the bike for you.
