16 Inch Kids Bike with Dual Brakes, Adjustable Seat and Rear Reflector, Aqua Blue
The maker breaks the build down into four jobs: fitting the training wheels, the pedals, the handlebar and seat, then the accessories. Everything else arrives done. The 16 inch size is rated for riders 41.5 to 51 inches tall, an inseam of 19.5 to 23.5 inches and a saddle of 21.5 to 25.5 inches.
A flat pack bike on Christmas Eve
No instructions you can follow at midnight
Most bikes arrive in a box with an exploded diagram and no order of work. Parents end up fitting the pedals last and stripping a thread, or leaving a brake untested.
Four named jobs, in order
The maker sets out the build as four steps: training wheels, pedals, handlebar and seat, then the accessories. Do them in that order, then check every bolt and the tire pressure before anyone rides it.
The shape of it
Aqua blue with white mudguards, a white saddle and a white basket clipped to the bars. Training wheels sit at the rear until they are detached.
The maker's size advice
16 inches for ages 4 to 7, riders 41.5 to 51 inches tall, an inseam of 19.5 to 23.5 inches, a saddle of 21.5 to 25.5 inches and a 99 lb seat capacity.
What is left to build
Four jobs, drawn out one by one. Pedals are the step worth taking care over, since the left one has a reverse thread on almost every bike.
The fittings
Rounded bell, storage basket, detachable training wheels and a rear reflector. The reflector bounces back other people's lights rather than giving off its own.

Who is this perfect for?
Riders 41.5 to 51 inches tall
The maker's height band for a 16 inch wheel.
Parents building it themselves
The four step panel is clearer than most, and the bike arrives largely assembled.
Riders out towards dusk
A rear reflector is fitted, though lights are still worth adding.
What we stand behind
- The age band, rider height, inseam, saddle height and 99 lb seat limit are the manufacturer's own published figures.
- The maker prints ASTM and CPSC or CPSIA marks on its own size advice panel. That is their claim, repeated as such, with no certificate number.
- No helmet is included. A helmet belongs on every ride, and eight Canadian provinces have helmet legislation, three of them for riders under 18.
- This is a bike for supervised riding on paths, driveways and parks, never on a road.
- Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
Frequently asked questions
How much assembly is there?
The maker states 95 percent pre-assembled and lists four jobs: training wheels, pedals, handlebar and seat, then accessories.
What size rider does it suit?
41.5 to 51 inches tall with an inseam of 19.5 to 23.5 inches, which the maker pairs with ages 4 to 7.
Does it have a reflector?
Yes, a rear reflector. Reflectors need another light shining on them, so add your own lights if you ride near dusk.
Will both feet reach the ground?
With the saddle at 21.5 inches and an inseam of 21.5 inches or more, yes. Below that the rider will be on their toes.
