All kinds of Bicycles on Amazon

When I went back to college, I worked at a bike store that sold low and mid-priced bikes. I spent a lot of time assembling and repairing. In many cases, low-cost bikes had a lot of problems: curved parts, incorrect wheels, misaligned brakes, etc. I had never heard of the Royal Baby brand before, but after reading other reviews, I decided to buy it for eight years. The eldest son. Of course, when she arrived, I gave her the usual detailed instructions. At first, I noticed that the quality of the parts seemed to be good. The seams were solid and the finish was perfect.

The assembly was the same as any other bike: pedals, handlebars, seats, and accessories. On the first try, all parts were perfectly lined up. There is no quarrel, no perversion, no tug of war. It also comes with some inexpensive tools to help you with assembly, so you don't have to search for a pedal wrench or an appropriately sized Allen gauge. Together, I began looking into the mechanics. The tires were very real. They did not have any noticeable fluctuation. This was unusual for bikes in the $100 to $150 range. The brakes are set perfectly. They were in the center of the ledge and had the perfect amount of drag.

Pink 16" bike for my daughter who turns 5 next week. I didn't take her measurements, but she is now a size 5/6 with shirts and pants for size comparison. The bike is great with training wheels, but it's still too big to handle without training wheels. If I knew what I know now, I would have bought her a size down first. For now, she can ride this with training wheels to get used to, and we carry her smaller bike a lot until she goes all the way.

Blue 18 inch bike for my 7 1/2-year-old sons again, no measurements, but for size comparison, it's a size 7/8. This bike is perfect for growing. Last fall it would have been too big for him.

Regardless of the size, here are my thoughts:

This is a great bike! It's cute and sturdy and I love the way it looks. (Especially the pink still looks feminine, but the fact that it has black tires instead of the Dan White ones that most little girl bikes have) We live on a farm, so there are no sidewalks. Just ride on soil, gravel, and grass. These bikes perform well on rough terrain.

My kids love a water bottle on their bikes.

The 16-inch bike features a stiffer white Seatpost with a handlebar-like back. The 18-inch bike features a slightly blackened hock, much like a regular bike seat. None of the children mentioned whether they particularly liked or hated their seats. Both bikes have brakes. that is great. My daughter still uses the brakes, but they are a little big for her small hands. It's a good idea to learn it before you go down the hill

And finally - it was very easy to assemble - it was almost already assembled. It took about 15 minutes (speed limit) for each bike to set everything up. One bike was ready for the tires and one bike had to inflate the tires before riding.

When my daughter was about to turn seven, I knew it was time to officially retire and upgrade her 12-inch You & Me Pink bike. After literally hours of online reviews, I narrowed down this model and the Diamondback 16-inch bike. You have selected the Royal Baby 16" orange model.

I sat down and read all the reviews on this bike, and I'd like to deal with what appears to be the most common complaint:

* "so heavy!" I don't know what those parents are comparing to this bike. I kept checking the shipping weight to see if I missed anything, and the number "2" in "28 lbs" was actually 3 or 4...but no, you were right. Then, thinking about the confusion of bringing back this big thing, I rushed to the hut to see how heavy her 12-inch bike was. I picked it up...then picked up a 20lb rod...then picked it up and estimated that her bike was probably 3 to 5 pounds heavier than my bottom weight.  I assembled it and picked it up. Oh boy, I felt relieved when I lifted it so easily. Lift with one arm. This bike weighs about 25 pounds and is perfect for a 7-year-old girl. She has already fallen and can easily lift the bike by herself. Those who complain about these have to spend an extra $100 to buy. Aluminum frame bike for your child.

* “Wheels do not spin freely” - This was also a major concern as I am specific to my factory level QC. During assembly, I flipped the bike over and checked both wheels. At first, they felt a little "sticky" and never stopped. First, be sure to read all the instructions before you begin, if you're a fellow parent, and you're not mechanically inclined. One of the things I noticed was that the front caliper brakes were rubbing the tires a bit and needed adjusting, and the quick spinning of the wheels produced an "unbalanced" sound. The direction survey revealed some ways to adjust the front brake. l. minutes Atter, do not rub. The rear wheels were also a little sticky and there was a friction noise...but I realized I had to fully open the pedals and turn them (upside down). Please note that if you apply the serpentine brake even just a little bit, you will hear a screeching sound as the wheel turns. With the brakes set, the front wheels got a lot easier and rolled until I almost stopped... There was still some resistance, but I thought the weight of the wheels was right side up, and the resistance can be ignored.

Make sure all moving parts are lubricated regularly as directed. I grabbed about 3 in 1 oil and some auto grease and lubricated everything. The wheels were solid "out of the box right away" and I felt like they were starting to loosen up a bit naturally. This leads to the following scam addressing me...

*“The wheels are not right” - This was a concern as mentioned by several reviewers who claimed to have experience assembling, maintaining, and repairing bikes. I didn't really know what they meant by "correct", so I did some research on Google and found that they meant they were balanced with straight edges. This is where the stars almost docked. This is one of the reasons why the two wheels didn't spin as freely as originally expected because they weren't right. As I rotated the wheel I found that both had to adjust as I flexed left and right with some "bubbles" causing the rim to vibrate significantly while turning. But after reading about "correcting" a bicycle wheel, it turned out to be very easy. Simply use a wrench to adjust the screws on the base just above the flange. The spokes on this bike are 13 according to a $9 wrench purchased on Amazon. Once we found that the speaker was screwed in counterclockwise, in about 10 minutes both wheels were very close to each other, which made it easy to rotate. My daughter even said that after my modifications, the bike seemed to go a lot smoother. I can work around the problem and am sure places like Wally World and Target won't make the bike "real" before buying, so I decided not to dock the star.

* "Royal Baby on Bike = Not Cool!" - I got this perfect for kids who want to be big boys and girls. But after taking off some of the stickers easily and getting rid of the funny stickers that came with them, the bike just says "royal baby" in two places in the middle of the seat and handlebar. Even the company logo on the front of the frame has a dominant crown so you can't even see the little "Royal Baby" print unless you stab your face in the fork. The tread company name is black on a black background, so you can't tell unless you look closely at the tires. This bike has definitely had a great test with my 7-year-old daughter!

* "Missing Parts" - Bikes come with all parts.

* “Pedals are less likely to get stuck or broken” - This can change over months of use, so I'll keep an eye on them and update as needed. But I had no problem with the pedals, they were successfully clamped to the crank lever (note that the left pedal must be tightened counterclockwise).

* "Water bottles are cheap" - unfortunately, they are already cracked and leaking, so you have to agree. However, there are some bicycle water bottles in our house, all of which fit snugly in a metal rack and are bolted to the frame. In my opinion, it is not enough to justify a star docking.

* “The chain comes off” - the chain is well tight and has not yet come off. Additionally, the rear axle is in the groove and can slide back or forth to adjust chain tension. It seems that some of these reviewers are not familiar.

*"Tires Don't Hold Air" - I inflated the tire to 35 psi 4 days ago, but it's still inflated.

I was a bit apprehensive about buying this bike, but for now, it just feels like a home ride. We can't take her away from her, she just loves to sit on her when she can't ride! The frame is solid, well made and appears to have quality frame welds. The orange, black, and white paper color scheme looks really sharp! On the ground, if I was fit, I'd rock this bike! After turning the wheels, it was definitely reassuring to see its speed and descend almost along the pavement. She also loves the big, thick black tires.

It also comes with a kickstand and seat that quickly adjusts so you can easily change its size.

In conclusion, we are very happy with this bike. This bike seems to have outlasted its ability to provide kids with a good ride quality for years, taking the time to read the instructions and make basic adjustments.
