Excellent video sir! Nice informative film. Good job with the construction and nice that your son enjoys it 🤓 cycling definitely my favourite form of cardio 💪🚲
Thanks! Hoping it'll help other parents choose the right bike for their kids. I like spin classes in a blue moon but not one for riding on the street. Did a triathalon (sprint) once and that was all the bike I could ever want
i own the 24 inch koen and ive had it for 3 years riding almost daily still works great but now that i am older swapping to a bigger bike is good

Hi! Great review! You mention that you can change out the tires for bigger ones. Do you know what is the biggest size tire that the frame would support? Thank you!
Think 18 inches
thank you so much, very helpful!
Appreciate you watching
I had a couple of the neighborhood kids ringing my doorbell like a fire had broken out. The young boy had a flat tire and he was asking if I could fix it. Luckily, I had some glueless tire patches. Where did the patches come from...I have no idea. It took me a few minutes to fix it, but as was I looking over his bike, it was pretty beat up. After they left I'd figure I look into a new bike for him. I came across this one on Amazon. It looked pretty nice, so I texted his parents if they wouldn't mind if I buy him a new bike. He's a good kid, very respectful and asks a lot of questions. I don't mind. I'm a retired USAF guy and it's good to see a good kid. They are the ones we need to mentor. I haven't heard back from his parents. They are a young couple so I'm sure they are busy. Anyways, I do plan on buying this bike for him. I appreciate your honest review. Hope your son is enjoying his bike. Something he will remember when he gets to be my age.
Hey, how are you? I just got this bike for my son and I’m having a bit of trouble with the handle bar. I place it in the hole and tightened it but it doesn’t seem to turn the wheel. Would appreciate the help. Thanks.
Not 100 percent certain, has to be something with the tightener alignment or placement
Great review! Thanks!
Thanks for watching! My son is older now and still uses the bike. Something he def. has been able to grow into.
Hey, what size did you get? My son is about 50inches tall at 6yrs old, so I was thinking about getting the 20inch, however I need training wheels for him and I don't think the 20inch comes with training wheels?
Joseanne Henry confirming now
I got eighteen inches. My son still uses it. He is six now and in the 99 percentile for height
@@NoFate247 great. Thank you so much!
Joseanne Henry np, use the affiliate link in the description if you shop on Amazon. Thanks for subscribing 🙏
I got the Koen 20 inch for my son, but I am having a hard time finding training wheels for him. Anyone has any recommendations? I tried the Schwinn training wheels but they didn’t fit.
Unfortunately I don't know. Hopefully someone on here can help
Try calling schwinn customer service
@@NoFate247 I just got a reply from them. They said to go to a bike shop for help :( *rolls eyes*
@@prettystar225 I would return it
What age and height is your kid. I just bought the 16” for my 5 year old but he is sort of tall so I’m wondering if I should have gone with 18”. Thanks for the review!
My son is tall for his age of 5.5...will get his exact height for you
CharlesFromage he is almost 48 inches now so probably 46.5 in the video
NoFate247 many thanks! My son is almost the exact same age and height as your son is in the video. I have a 3 year old that could take over the 16”, so I’ll need to decide what make more sense. Do you know if 16” can be upgraded to 18 or 20” wheels? I can call Schwinn and ask.
@@CharlesFromage I think so, but don't trust my memory def. confirm it. Amazon affiliate link in the description to the video if you buy the bike or anything off amazon for that matter.
Nice surprise for the kiddo
Hopefully one he'll enjoy for a while.
Hi Man, thanks for the good job. Could you assist me. I got my son this bike as used but surely never really used ,through Amazon. It’s kinda weird the way it was formerly assembled by the owner and I need to work it out before he returns from school today as it is his birthday. Can you help ? Jonathan,Stirling,Scotland
What is the problem
The handle bar fit point seem tied upside down. So I came to pick a Bike tool to see if I can lose and turn it up-down and see if it fits.
I wish I can send u picture of the handbar. Where it should go into the bike
I would def. download the assembly instructions online, might just need adjustments
brah i just bought the 12 inch version of this to teach my son hes barely 3 years old next March
That's awesome, you pumped!?
@@NoFate247 yea I'm hoping it's high quality compared to a Walmart 12 bike for $60 ..... I payed $130 koen .. 25 percent discount going on currently
@@roadlesstraveled2249 So for reference, my son is 8, still using the bike and still not too big for it
👍
I would recommend changing the quill stem out with a better one. They are dangerous and garbage. Also the hand brakes were nothing but trouble trying to adjust. Never had such a hard time adjusting brakes and never actually got them to function properly. Other than that, not too bad.
I cannot stress enough on that quill stem though. Change it out.
How long did it take you To change out the stem
It is an easy change out. It takes a few minutes. But it was not readily available. The stem clamp assembly is fixed on the stem. The stem clamp was the problem. It is made of very poor quality allow. But because it was fixed, a whole new quill stem was needed. I did a lot of research and like this bike and think it was a better option than the common cheap walmart bike. But I still cannot figure out what is wrong with the brakes or why they never worked for me. The stem clamp stripped out and the bars were never able to be tight and kept moving. Been riding for 35 years and learned a lot on the way from family and other avid riders.
I recently helped kick the training wheels with my son and he is riding without them now. But as we are riding, i see his rear rim was bent pretty bad. He fell a few times since the training wheels came off. There hasnt been anything signifigant a 6 year old could have done. He is fine.
I think this model was outsourced a bit too much is the only explanation. And it was over sold. But, with a few inexpensive swaps it can still remain a good deal and will be a competitive choice as the bike market is insane these days.
The being able to grow and have the bike for a long period of time is awesome. To me that makes it ok to have to change out a few components that are extremely important when it comes to safety. If it makes a difference for years it is all good.
Im not knocking your review at all. Im just sharing
Quick update...his parents gave me a green light on the bike. Order has been placed with Amazon, should arrive this Thursday. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again.
Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Why is the camera 15 feet away? Useless.
My paid camera man was sick that day.
