If the child gets tired...can they stop pedaling and the adult keep pedaling?

Absolutely - my daughter slacks off all the time! She has a blast and I don't have to worry about going on too long a trip.

Yes -- my daughter coasts when she feels like it...and sometimes she pedals very hard and I can feel the boost from her pedaling, too.

Yes of course, child does not need to pedal at all. Or they can keep pedaling as long as they want.

Yes, in fact my daughter isn't quite tall enough to be able to peddle and she still enjoys riding along. They can peddle as much or as little as they want.

My 2 yr old grandson can not reach the pedals yet . But he uses his feet to get around on it and spends hours on it.

I think it's possible, the seat and handle bars are adjustable. The hardest part for my daughter is getting the pedals aligned to start her forward motion. I generally have to provide a little push to get her started.

No - you don't ever have to pedal if you don't want to. If you pedal you don't use as much battery.

Yes its normal but really annoying. I emailed Radio Flyer's customer service and the ticking is expected if the child rests their feet on the pedals while being pushed.

The child doesn't need to touch the pedals when being pushed. The pushing motion will turn the pedals for the child.

I don't think so. My 3 year old grandaughter was just old enough to pedal it. I'd stick to some thing that glides by their feet on the floor.

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..

Hi! It is just pedal riding. However, my grandson really loves it. The only problem I see with it is we cannot adjust the seat as he grows, which he has done a lot over the winter. So far, he is making due. It really is a cute one.

Yes! I'm exhausted after 30! :). It's really a nice bike. I use a bigger , separate fan though.

The length of the child's leg is the real real limiting factor. My grandson rode his at two and a half with pedals that I made myself out of scrap 2x4 wood blocks. By three the blocks were off and he is still riding it. In short form, the answer is about three years old if the child is average height.

Yea an adult can use it. We don't like it though. You can only pedal on flat surfaces or down downhill. Very awkward. I have never tried to fold it.

There is still a position between braking and pedaling where the child can coast.

Hi, our 2 year old active grandson rides by him self after teaching him. The foot peddle makes it easier. He doesn't have the strength to steer it in the dirt.

Your child will coast without pedaling. If your child presses back on the pedal the brake will engage, it is very sensitive. All in all it is a great little bike.

Excellent question, there is not footrest since it's kid pedal powered. I do wish it had a place for the kids feet but then it would make it hard for them to propel themselves forward.
