Cleary Gecko vs Spawn Yoji Bicycle Review
Переглядів 1,4 тис.4 роки тому
London gets a new bike for Christmas. This review takes a first look through the Spawn Yoji 16 and his previous bike, the Cleary Gecko 12. Hopefully, it helps you with your decision buying process. He didn't grow out of his Cleary. I just wanted something with bigger wheels so he could get over the rocks and roots better. Honestly, both bikes are great. I purchased these both with my own money ...
Spawn Yoji initial ride impressions review
Переглядів 5034 роки тому
Quick review of the Spawn Yoji Blue we got London for Christmas. Few thoughts. He is definitely faster on this than his Cleary Gecko. Might be the cranks or position is giving him better leverage. It think a flat bar would be a good option for this bike so a smaller child can start there and then grow into the raised bar. London's inseam is 14.5.

Every time we get a good strong rain, London has to get on his bike and hit the puddle that forms temporarily. This is his first bicycle, Cleary Gecko, which he started riding when he was 2.5 years. That will be another video.

Why are you selling?
@@davehoover8853 I bought an ebike and I had to choose a bike to sell. This is my newest one out of 5 bikes so figured I'd sell the one with the most value. I hate to see it go. It's so sweet and such an attention getter for those that like that.
How do you transfer lube from the big bottle to the little squirt bottle?
@@annequinlan6593 I pull the nozzle off the small bottle, then move the big bottle over quickly. I usually do it over a paper towel or garbage in case some spills. Just make sure to shake the big bottle thoroughly first.
Thank you❤
Could you please share what kind of blue cloth or paper that is? It looks disposable...maybe something automotive? The cloth I tried to use for my chain cleaning worked but it really did not flow very smoothly. By the way, I just watched your video and it was super helpful. My chain looks terrific now!
I have the same question 😅
appears to be "shop towels" which come on a roll like paper towels but are much stronger.
@@tobikrutt I get them at Walmart. I think I've gotten them at Home Depot also. They do come on rolls like paper towels. I think they usually have them by the automotive department.
@@321execute they are blue paper towel rolls that I usually find at Walmart or Home Depot.
Awesome, thanks so much 🙌🤩
Thank you. I'm glad it helped.
Actually, Rock N Roll Extreme is their WET lube. Their "Absolute Dry" (red stuff) is their DRY lube.
Thanks for the vid. We just picked one up for our just turned 3 yr old.
That's awesome! Your kid should love it. I still have ours as a memory of his first bike. He is on his 3rd bike now.
Thanks for the journey!
Cheeeeeese! Great review....Love the Spawn Yoji!
Thank you. He loves it too! Does your kid have one, too?
@@rtbd420 Yes, he has one and loves shredding on it! It is solid, light weight, and fast. We upgraded ours to a 26 tooth front chainring to get a little more torque.
Is this a 14 or 16?
This is the 16 for the Spawn. The Clearly is a 12.
@@rtbd420 Sorry yea, meant the Spawn 😆 - thank you! My son has a 14.5” inseam so I was deciding between the Yoji 14 or 16. Or maybe both in this day and age where you can flip a bike pretty easily...
@@rpiian Yes! Can you get them or have a connection? My friend was looking for one and ended up buying a Trek. He's not really a mountain biker but he is trying to the best to make his kid happy with the sport. My son is due for an upgrade soon. So many good choices that I can't buy. LoL.
@@rtbd420 I wish I did but no, I’m just emptying my wallet 😂. I was considering the Ramones 14 or Vitus Kids 14 and both have been out of stock since last fall. So here I am buying one of the most expensive kids bikes on the planet lol! I’m in the justifying stage at the moment. I know once I get my son ripping on it it won’t matter, but it definitely hurts.
@@rpiian I love looking at bikes. I'm liking the Commencal bikes, also. They have disc brakes. The nice thing about these high-end bikes is that even without Covid the resale was still great versus a big brand like Trek, etcetera, so in the end their really isn't much of a loss. There is definitely a quality difference. When I have friends that have the money but are considering a bike from Walmart, I ask them how much they weigh. So if they respond, 200lbs, I ask them how much fun they would have riding a bike that weights 200lbs. Because, especially at the younger ages, the bike from Walmart might weigh as much as the kid.
Hi! My 2.5 year old is slowly outgrowing his Spawn Tengu balance bike, about 1" of stem left. Currently he rides through Montreal snowy parks wherever the snow is packed enough. So I am looking for spring for the next size, a pedal bike, and I think I'm in between the Gecko and the Yoji 14" (a size smaller then yours). The Gecko is quite a bit cheaper, probably CAD 140 less with all taxes. Weight and seat height are about the same, I guess the main difference is 12" vs 14". Any thoughts?
If he can fit on the 14, I would go with the 14". The bike is definitely faster and it's easier to balance since most of his weight is on the seat vs being bent over the bars, like a cross country bike. Better roll over with the bigger wheels. I think with all those factors my son flys over his handlebars far less often. lol. I'm amazed he keeps riding after all those Superman's. The draw back is that he tends to wash out the front on loose rocks more often. I think that's possibly him needing to steer less aggressively and he's going faster, not necessarily less weight on the bars, so it's hard to say.
Best kids bike video I’ve seen so far. Bad thing is. Every one is out of stock on the little bikes. My grandson is still riding his balance bike. So ready to get him on a pedal bike. I messed up and bought him a Spechalized rip rock 14”. Stupid coaster brake. He’s really struggling to ride it.
Thank you. Sorry, for the delay. I have an extra bike still new in the box if you are interested. We got 2 for Christmas. It's the 16.
What do you think the max height is for the gecko?
My son just maxed out the seat tube. I'll have to measure him and get back to you.
🤙🏼
