18 Inch Retro Kids Bike with Wicker Basket and Training Wheels, Green
The largest size in mint green, with a 132 lb seat capacity and the widest handlebar range in the family. The maker gives riders 47.2 to 59.1 inches tall, an inseam of 22.5 to 25 inches, a saddle from 23.5 to 26 inches and bars from 32.5 to 34 inches.
Mint green, brown fittings and a woven basket, on the biggest frame in this range. Against the 16 inch it gains an inch and a half of saddle height, four inches of handlebar and twenty two pounds of seat capacity. What it does not gain on this particular listing is a kickstand, which the pink and yellow 18 inch galleries show and this one does not, so we leave it out.
The bike
A solid carbon steel frame in mint green with a woven front basket, a brown saddle and matching grips, a white chain guard and two removable training wheels. This is the largest frame in the range and it is proportioned like a small bicycle rather than a toy.
The maker's specification table
The 18 inch row reads: riders 47.2 to 59.1 inches tall, a saddle of 23.5 to 26 inches, an inseam of 22.5 to 25 inches and a 132 lb capacity. The panel draws where each measurement is taken, and the note above it asks you to measure the child's inseam before buying rather than to go by age.
Where the height comes from
The saddle covers 23.5 to 26 inches and the bars 32.5 to 34 inches on separate clamps. Set the saddle low enough that both feet go flat, then raise the bars so the rider sits up rather than stretching forward, and move both up together as the child grows.
What arrives built
A gallery panel on this listing claims 95 percent pre-assembled against 85 percent elsewhere, while the written description for this range says 85 percent. We publish the lower figure, so expect to fit the front wheel, the bars and the pedals.
What is on this bike
Saddle 23.5 to 26 in
Held by a locking clamp, and the maker photographs three stacked saddle positions to show the range.
Handlebar 32.5 to 34 in
The bars move on their own clamp, so reach and saddle can be set separately.
132 lb seat capacity
Published against this row of the maker's table.
Wicker basket and bell
A woven front basket and a bell on the bars, on a solid carbon steel frame with a brown saddle and grips.
Kickstand and two brakes
This size adds a kickstand, on top of the hand lever and the rear coaster brake.

Who is this perfect for?
Riders 47.2 to 59.1 in tall
The maker's height band for this wheel size, against an inseam of 22.5 to 25 in.
Parents who want it to look like a bike
A woven basket, a brown saddle and matching grips, rather than cartoon decals. It is a styling choice and it costs more than the plain version of the same thing.
Beginners with a grown up alongside
Two removable training wheels, a coaster brake that needs no hand strength and a hand lever for when the fingers reach.
What we stand behind
- The suitable age, rider height, inseam, saddle height, handlebar height and 132 lb seat capacity here are the manufacturer's own published figures for the 18 in.
- The manufacturer states the bike complies with ASTM and CPSIA standards, and prints ASTM and CPSC with CPSIA marks in the gallery. We repeat that as their claim and quote no certificate number, because none is published.
- 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.
- This colour's gallery does not show the kickstand that the pink and yellow 18 inch listings call out, so no kickstand is claimed here. A gallery panel also claims 95 percent pre-assembled while the written description says 85 percent; the lower figure is published.
- Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
