The bicycle looks very cool, it is a very beautiful model, can be used to exercise, but also convenient for your own travel, I recommend everyone to buy it.

Super fabulous happy family hour. You watch. You like.

Looks like they finally downgraded from a belt back to a traditional chain (the belt drive being one of the features that used to help justify their crazy pricing). These bikes have always had a feature set that is a bit crazy for a kids bike. This bike has a front disc brake that will likely go completely unused given that for most riders of this size the coaster brake is the only thing they'll manage to be able to use while riding beyond just throwing their feet down.

Overall the biggest disappointment about these bikes is that the ergonomics simply aren't any better than many kids bike options. If you like the padding idea, find an old Trek Jet for sale that does the same thing with lower standover height. Fully enclosed chains on kids bikes are still too uncommon, but not impossible to find a kids bike with some reasonable chain guards (seems like they're usually just pulled off at some point if you're shopping second-hand, so just keep looking).

As someone who has shopped kids bikes the last couple of years, I can affirm that even in a hot bike market things aren't as bad as they were... so this isn't really the deal it purports to be unless you're just interested in spending a bunch on a small bicycle.

Good luck!
Jon

They make a smaller model if that's what you're trying to determine(?). This company is not a significant importer of bicycles for the U.S. under their ninebot branding.

Good luck!

I urgently need a bike in said size and $159 is a bargain - but according to the reviews still too much for this bike. Buying a piece of crap because it is cheap is not good for the environment. Better pay a little bit more for a bike that is worth it.

No options on your local Craigslist? I'm in a pretty tight bicycle market but even here premium kids models like Specialized and REI house brands are going for under $100 regularly again.

Good luck!
