how are the training wheels? We bought a cheaper bike and the training wheels are completely unlevel all of the time and my son constantly tips over.

They are completely uneven... I ended up returning this and getting a Schwinn for the same price.

My son still rides his at 7!!! We live in the city and with the bumby sidewalks, etc. it's been just great! They really help them learn to balance and ride a "big boy" bike! My son is doing really well on his now, and I said to him, I think you are ready for a big boy bike and he said, not quite, I still love my Go Glider! I highly recommend it if you don't think your son/daughter is ready for a two wheeler!

I bought mine in end of March this year and they are air filled tires,othervise I wouldn't buy them. This,hand break and low gravity center were the 3 main things I wanted to have for my little boy. The bicycle is great. He's riding it less than 3 months and already started to do a bit of cross on some rocks, stairs and similar. He's so happy with it,and me too. Completly fylfiled my expectations. :-D

The bike is great, but from my experience the wheels need an upgrade. I'm currently considering what to replace them with. I weigh around 230. I've had to replace 3 spokes in the rear wheel, and I'm having to constantly true that wheel. I ride the bike to work and, given that it's a cyclo-cross bike I ride a short off-rode section. Perhaps on smoother roads the stock wheels will behave better. If you are not handy as a bike mechanic you may need to visit the shop frequently, unless you upgrade the wheels. I still think it's pretty good value for the money.

No, but I didn't think much about that. After my son learned how to ride and got confident, I replaced the training wheels with a kickstand. The bike was the best value I found, and lack of a kickstand was not a deal breaker for me.

The bike I bought was a gift for my grandson. It did not come with training wheels which never occurred to me as he already knew how to ride. I don't know if this bike has training wheels. You may have to check with the manufacturer.

I purchased one for my 2 year old grandson and he loves it. Only my opinion, but I would say that your son may be a bit tall for this balance bike. YBIKE does make the Extreme for older kids that may be a better option.

It sounds like it may be a good fit for your son. The description says for novice riders, but I think advanced is more appropriate. The difficulty comes from the amount of air my son catches and he is not prepared to land with his bicycle. More practice is required.

I suppose it depends on where the training wheels are. The only way to find out is to try and if not it can be a reward for them learning to ride without training wheels. Either way a win-win!

My son still uses training wheels on his own. But when we use the weeride no wheels needed.

It is designed to be used instead of training wheels, but I bought it to use as an adult speed/safety control on a little hilly street and for crossing streets. To use with training wheels I had to disregard the intallation instructions. The bottom portion that attaches to the bike has a bent angle on one side (couldn't really see why that was needed). I had to reverse the shaft so that the bent part faced out. It works great as my grandson learns when and how to apply the brakes going down hill, an extra push going uphill, and secure feeling crossing streets. A bike store person told me to remove the pedals when the child is ready to start riding without training wheels to make the bike a balance bike. Once they get the feel of balance with feet the wheels go back on. Sounds like a good idea, rather than buying a balance, no pedal bike too.

It should come with training wheels, see the video, they confirm at the end and show the training wheels as well.

I orderd this bike for my don for Christmas. It did come with training wheels.

No training wheels and I don't think you can put any on unless you can fabricate something. No need! You're kid should learn quickly!!

I don't believe so. The point of this bike is for the child to learn balance so they never need training wheels.

You cannot put training wheels on this bike. If your child can ride a pedal bike without training wheels they will not need training wheels for this bike. They will be able to reach the ground and the flow speed is just that. Slow. My 3 year old took one spin on this and wanted to go faster immediately. Hope this helped.

The bike comes with training wheels and it is very easy to put together! My 4yo loves it!
