Can someone tell me the approximate weight of this bike? My son is too tall for his 16" bike but not very strong yet.

Its about 25 lbs I think. Not especially light because of the steel frame. The next Diamondback model up has an aluminium frame but is $150 more.

We bought one of these bikes for our grandson. Our best guess is that is weighs about 35-40 lbs. Hope that helps.

You've certainly already made your decision on the bike, but for future shoppers: I weighed the actual bike and it was between 27 and 28 lbs.The average kid who has outgrown a 16" bike shouldn't have a problem, as the combination of gearing and larger diameter tires will ease the transition. Lighter multi-speed bikes cost much more, and they're for youngsters with skills, money, and/or actual mountains to ride on.

Dont know the weight but it is heavier than a 16" bike. Our 7yr old rides this bike fine and loves the gears.

I would say around 20 lbs. My son is 7 and he has no problem riding it. It is a great bike. Very well made.

My son is about half that weight and he fits perfectly. So I would say you should maybe find a larger sized bike.

My cousin's 16 year-old son and his friends who are 6ft plus, have a great time on this bike! I think your son would enjoy it as well.

My almost 4 grandson is about 42" tall too. I think he is on the edge of being to tall for the bike. He loves riding it still. I think we will be going for a pedal bike this summer. You might look into a balance bike with 16" wheels. That may fit better and have some grow room too.

My daughter weighs 95 pounds and this bike is perfect. My husband has ridden it too and he's 165lbs!

I bought this bike for my 3 year old grandson and he is as tall as most 4 year old boys. I have the seat at its highest level and he really needs the next size up....16"? His friend is 4 and calls the bike a baby bike because of its size so, unless your child is very petite/small, you need to buthe bigger bike.

Its about 8-10 lbs. My son at 2 1/2 rode it for a year. He was able to pick it up and ride it around wit ease and he is smaller then average.

The bike should have a posted weight - my husband rode it just fine, I did not....I found it too heavy, but I'm not sure I am in the bike riding age bracket anymore either. Was more weighty than others I looked at later.

58CM bike is closer to 30 than it is 25 for sure. If you remove the chain guard, kickstand, and replace certain parts you could probably have it down to 21-23 fairly easily. Does anyone know what it weighs frame alone?

My boy just turned 4 back in November and he's 42-43 inches tall. This bike fits him perfect but then again he seems more comfortable on his sisters 16 inch wheel bike. I hope this helps in making your decision. God Bless!

My kids are both at about 3 ft, 8 inches, and this bike (and another 18 inch bike I bought for his twin sister) are both borderline too big for them. We have the seats down as low as they will go. I doubt that it will be too small for him, but he might outgrow it sooner.

My grandson is 5 and small for his age. The bike in my opinion is perfect for him. I would think the bike with a kid weighing 40 lbs would do fine, but they make a Razor for bigger kids. I think this bike is perfect for kids 4 to 6 yrs old

not 100% on this but im pretty sure its around 250 or so, the bike itself weighs 185

I can't offer a comparison on the bike but the flywheel is pretty heavy...40# is the listed weight. We have been really happy so far (a month or so) with this bike.... I would recommend if the price is right for you... we got it for about $240.00 shipped.

I think this bike would be too tall for him. I'd select a bike with a smaller wheel size. Our kids are five, and tall for their age, and I don't think they could have been riding this much sooner. Our kids are 42"+.

Hope I'm not too late in responding to your question. When I was deciding which balance bike I should get for my son it wasn't easy so I came across a great website that has all sorts of helpful information called Two Wheeling Tots. My son is 39" and the seat height for this bike is 13"-17" so you may want to look into the 16 inch balance bike as well to see if it's more compatible for a 45" kid. Hope this helps :)

I bought this bike for my son for his 6th birthday. He is 44" tall and it is perfect for him. It's a great bike!
