My son is 13 and says his 20"in Bmx bike is to big for tricks, his 5ft tall, I think 18"in is way too small. Any suggestion?

I agree. I got mine for my 6 year old and it's perfect size for him. He just needs a lighter bike but same size for tricks

Yes way too small I got this for my 6 year old and he's not a giant he the average size for a 6 year old boy ...so not this would not be what you are looking for.

A 12 " My 20 year old son is a pro mountain bike racer now. I bought him a 12" when he was 1 year old by the time he was 3 years old it fit him perfectly and he could ride it without training wheels. The 12" easily fit him and lasted up to he was about 6 years of age. I just bought my 2 year old grandson a 12" for his birthday last November for his birthday.

Sure is. I purchased for my 12 year old son who is now 13. It is BMX style so it seems short to me, but its what all the kids ride and he loves it. I had a good experience with this product.

I don't know where they got the 18" from, but this bike does NOT have an 18" frame. I measured it and it's around 21"-22". It should be perfect for your height.

I GOT THIS FOR MY 13 YR OLD WHO IS 5 FOOT 8 INCHES. He is too tall for it, his knees are to his chest, but still manages to ride it. It looked like sooo much fun, so I wanted to try. I am 5 foot 0 inches and 115 pounds. The bike was the PERFECT size for me!! It will be just right for you! It's soo much fun, he had to pull me off!

I'm 5'11" and weigh 160 lbs, and I ride a 24". A 24" for your son seems like a logical step up, but if he wants the challenge, they just go for the 26".

We didn't try. This size bike is lore for an 8-12 yr old so most kids are not using training wheels at that age. The shortest a kid can be to use this bike easily is 48-49 inches. At least an 8 yr old.

My son was approximately 36" when I purchased it for him. He had no problem getting on and off. If he's shorter than that you may want to wait until he is a little taller. It's a good starter bike, especially for the price.

Our tall 3 year old can just barely reach the pedals. He is not yet able to actually pedal the bike. Will be great this summer when he is four. The Schwinn is a very solid built trike.

I would guess that there's not much room to grow for a 5 year old on this bike. My son just turned 4 years old and is about average size for his age and I would say that the bike fits him perfectly. My best guess is that he will have grown out of it when he's about 6.

My sons bike was 20 inch and it worked awesome. I have 3 kids and finally with the last one I got smart and saved my back. I believe it world work up to 24 inche bikes

I don't ride, but my 11 and 13 year-old sons do well on 20" wheels. Being 6'3", I would think 24" might suit you better.

My son is 13 as well about the same size. It fits him well and loves it. Good bike.

We bought this bike when our son was 4,5 y.o. - and the boy never enjoyed the bike. I don't remember how tall son was (he is 6 y.o. now), but It seemed his legs were too long for it or the way pedals were situated wasn't the best for our boy, but he felt uncomfortable and dint want to ride it. Overall this bike didn't work for us.

It would depend on how tall and coordinated he was. The handles do not adjust to height. For the tricks you can do with this bike, it might be better if he was a little older.

I would say 18". Even if he has longer legs the 18" should be big enough. The 20" might just feel a little too big to ride comfortably
