Is this bike, a 24 inch, a good size for an average 12 year old boy? My son wants a mountain bike he can also ride on the street. Thanks.

My son is 9 and 58" tail and he just is able to get is feet on the ground with the seat in the lowest position. He is still getting used to the shifting but the more he rides the better he gets.

My son is 11 1/2 and average size and he can ride it comfortably with the seat lowered all the way down.

Excellent for that! My 11 year old rides his bike all over the neighborhood. I personally find the bike to be of excellent quality.

It depends on how tall your son is. My son is 9 and the seat is almost all the way down and it fits him great (he is 4ft 9in). My 11 year old daughter (she is 5ft 4in) has the girls version of the bike and with the seat all the way up, she is ready for a new, bigger, bike.

Fits my 5' tall son perfectly! He takes it on /off road on dirt trails, tough enough yet light enough for all terrains. Plenty of gear options for longer rides and hills.

I believe it is a good size for an average sized 12 year old. The seat can be adjusted up/down and forward and back. However, I do look for my 11 year old son to grow out of it in a few years. For the price, it is worth the time that he can enjoy it.

My grandson is almost 21 months old. I purchased it for him and he is not quite big enough. But he loves it and walks it around my backyard every time he comes over. He is only average in height, so your child will probably be fine with it right now. It is a wonderful bike. We love the quality. Hope that helps.

I got this for a four year old. She was able to ride it. She's now five. I suppose it depends on the four year olds height, but my four year was average height, and did just fine and still had room to grow. The 12 inch wheel bikes were too short for her to grow with it.

He should fit it perfectly. My boy is about to be 7 and the bike is perfect size for him. He should even for it for a few more years. Hope I helped :)

The size bike you get is best based on their height. My son is 42 inches. Just bought this bike and he is still struggling with it but it was a big jump up from his 12 in bike. He can pedal ok...just not as fast as he used to , its more bike to control.

It's a great bike. I purchased this bike for my son's 7th birthday and it fit him like a glove. He was a couple of inches taller than your son at the time, but your son should have no problems with it. It's actually a very well constructed bike (which is why you're considering this one from the start). After 2 1/2 years and a few seat and handlebar adjustments, he still rides it.

Hello!I think it would be too small because I got it for my sister's 4th birthday, she's turning 5 soon and it was the perfect training bike. An eight year old would probably need a larger bike.hope that helps!

I purchased a 12 in for my 3 year old and 16 in for my 4 year old. Our eldest fit well but it was slighty to big. He fit perfect a month later as you know they grow too fast. If I put the 4 year old on the 12im his knees would have been in the handle bars. I would say go with the 16in

Go for the 16.....my grandson just turned 4 and is the same heigth as you son...I have the seat as high as possible but bike is still too small....I am shopping for a new bike now.

Depends on your kid, they come in all shapes and sizes. I purchased this bike for my son, who was 10 at the time, and he just fit it. He is 11 now and it is still a good fit for him. I would say average of 10 to 13 or 14 approximately.

I purchased this bike for my son. He is 9 years old and 52 inches tall. Sounds like your son is tall for his age, but this bike might be just a little too big. He might be better suited with a bike that has a 16 inch or 18 inch tire size. That brings the bike body a few inches closer to the ground. My son was riding an 18 inch up until he received this one as a gift.

Hi therei bougth this bike last year when my son was 4 yo, and the truth is i think i better buy a bigger bike instead this one. It was just perfect for my 4 yo but you know how fast the kids grow so he just ride it for a couple months, and now i need to buy a bigger. So, the answer for your q: this bike is too little for a 5 yo. I hope this help you. Have a good day and a great shopping expirience.

Your son is ready for a 10"-12"(tires) traditional bike with training wheels. Our grandson loves his ybike(blue) at age 2. Your son is too advanced for the ybike and a traditional bike is a lot more cool! He will thank you many times over!

My son is 12. 5'5". He's already outgrown this bike. But then again, he doesn't do any trick on it either. Maybe for a 17 year old , he stand most of the time and does tricks. But sit and just ride. No way. Knees would hit the bars

The twin who is using this bike turned four in July and it is perfect for him now. He is a slight bit bigger than his contemporaries and I am hoping he gets another year out of it. You could talk with bike store about sizing if you want more exacting sizing.

It's a 20" bike which means it's the kind they use for BMX Freestyle for boys 12 and over more or less. Bike is 3 feet in width ( handle bars width) 6 feet length. Very good bike very sturdy high quality.
