What age is this bike appropriate for?

I would say 2-3 years. My son is 3 and not really interested but we have known several other kids that loved it and were between 2-3.

My son was six when he got this bike. This is the one he learned on. Nice bike!

My son used this bike when he turned 5; he was a few inches shy of 44" and it was great.

My 4-year old daughter handles it easily. Shouldn't be a problem for your grandson. And it's a great bike. :)

Yes. I would say this bike was perfect for my daughter. She was 2 years old when I got it. She couldn't quite peddle and I knew that would happen. Thats why I went with this bike because of the handle. She learned how to peddle and dont want any more help but i still have the bar just for when we come to a hill. She is almost 4 now and I would say its still in perfect shape.

My boys got them at 4.5 years old, the seat is adjustable and it is an easy first bike. But if your grandson is tall, then he might outgrow it in a year. My 6 year old daughter, on the shorter side, uses a 16 inch wheel bike which will last her a couple of more years.

My son uses it and he just turned 4. But he's a little big for his age. So 4-5 is a good range. Older and it may start getting too small for the to ride.

I suppose it depends on the child. I got my 5 yr. old daughter one for Christmas, and though she had great fun with it, she's about to turn 6 and hasn't ridden on it for a while now.

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 K

Hi Jennifer, I purchased this bike for my 6 year old son this year, it is perfect for him... He had not had a bike before, so this was his first bike... In a week he was using the gears and he absolutely loves it. A great buy. I did add a bike stand to the purchase, he uses that well. Hope this helps. Paul

Hi, my daughter was 2.5 yes old when we got her this bike and she is still using it at 3 yrs old. This is a great starter bike, if your daughter has been riding bikes for a while, I'd go with a 16" instead.

My son is 11 and LOVES this bike. It's not really that fast. He does take it off road and it does well on hills and through thick grass.

I purchased one for my 2 year old grandson and he loves it. Only my opinion, but I would say that your son may be a bit tall for this balance bike. YBIKE does make the Extreme for older kids that may be a better option.

I bought this bike for my 3yr old and he will be five in January. He is small for his age, but it still fits him fine. I would say it is dependent on how big he is. It might just fit him, so it may not last more than a year or two.

I can't really tell you an age range, but I will tell you that we bought it for our 95th percentile in height 6 year old and it was too tall for her to feel comfortable (stable) enough to start and stop on her own. She was able to learn how to ride with a parent handle bar attached to the back, but the height set her back on learning to start/stop on her own, so we ended up buying her an 18 inch bike. It was our bad because we jumped from a 16 inch bike to this 20 inch bike. The 16 inch was way too small for her, so we were originally afraid that the 18 inch would not be a big enough jump. Hope that helps.

It would be good for that age. Our grandson used it at that age with the peddles locked & loved it. By the next summer we unlocked the peddles & he could peddle himself.
