What makes this bike better than the Kazam other than brakes?

What a great loaded question for me to answer! I like the kazam bike, if you want the scooter style foot board it's a decent buy. Our bikes are built to ride like bicycles, they look like bicycles! The quality on our bike is second to none, you would need to spend close to $200 to find anything that compares to our bike when it comes to finish and parts. For a really great review http://www.twowheelingtots.com/the-best-balance-bike-for-your-dollar/

David Brinkmeyer is spot on with his answer. It is a great bike but if you are going to be hauling a load you should step up to higher quality bike with more gears and better brakes.

I looked at the pictures of the Vilano bike and I can see where the difference in price is. It looks like you would pay more, and you will get more. I own the "Hybrid Performance Bike", and it is doing what I was wanting it to do.

mine was single speed coaster brakes alloy. They do sell a 3 speed model, so look at your discription ! Very nice looking bike and lightweight

This bike is only stopped by the hand brakes. It is an easy bike to ride, according to my 6 yo son. He adjusts to the brakes from a coaster brake on his earlier bikes very quickly. Since it does have speed gears, the bike can not use the hub to control stopping. This is a great bike and came mostly assembled. Completion took only about 15 minutes. The brakes do have to be mounted slightly high, but does not impact the operation at all.

Hi,I purchased this bike and has front and back brakes, still its very heavy. I placed a 80cc engine and a moped gas tank in it and its awesome.I dont recomend it if you dont live in a flat city, its too heavy for daily use.regards

I am very happy with the bike, except that I would have preferred handbrakes. However I am getting used to the footbrakes. The bike is heavy. It is probably not possible to make a lightweight bike 'step through'. I recommend it and I would buy it again

Hello, There really is not much of a difference. On the new model, we changed the seat a bit not to include the plastic cushon/pad. Also, one of the hardware pieces changes from a nut to a bold. We permanently discontinued the black Tricycoo. I think those were the only changes. Are you familiar with the Joovy? We have several other toys as well. I personally love the Bicycoo which is Joovy's balance bike. It is great for speeding up the transition from toddler to bike without training wheels. If you have any more question please respond below in the comments or contact Joovy's Customer Care Center. They love answering any questions you may have. Thanks! Thanks!

Not easy to move around... By the way the bike broke about in 1-year. So, I suggest you look for other alternatives.

Yes, the bike has both braking systems. I've found the pedal breaks work better for my daughter (she's 7) as the hand brake seems to need more strength than she can give.

Wish I could help with your question. For me, it's a great bike, but the tires that came with it were too narrow for the best ride, even on roads. Changed tires and it's a great ride.

I have yet to find a way to put a computer on this bike, or any spin bike really. They make bikes that already have the computers. If that's something you really want I would pay the extra and get the bike with the monitor. This bike is quite noisy too.

It seems the same bicycle but with a few more bells and whistles. For example, my fan has only one speed and I do not have the mp3 thing.

While it doesn't have a lever or anything that would allow for intermittent braking like a brake pedal, there is something like a hand brake by the wheels that stops the wheels from spinning. I've gone through the woods with this thing, sand on the beach and through cracked pavement. I've found that I'd give up a lot faster than this thing would. When utilizing the brake, the back wheels won't spin at all and the rubber wheels have a good grip as long as they are pumped. Haven't pumped em since I bought it almost a year ago so not an issue.

I returned the bike. It stopped working and they would not respond to my calls or e-mails. I bought an I Zip bike and use it every day.

I would skip the micro. The only real difference is that the brake on the micro is made of plastic. It's much more durable on this one. My son was three when he got this and did wonderfully on this one. Two years later it's still his favorite thing to ride.

It's definitely worth it. Anything you would like to upgrade is personal preference like handlebars and the saddle. But it'll ride great as is.
