can this bike be used for a child that is 12 years old and weighs 130 lbs

Not sure. We used it for our 5 yr old, who was fairly tall (he is 8 yrs old now, and about 4'8"). It IS larger than other balance bikes that are on the market, and it would hold the weight (I practiced on it, and am 135 lbs). The trick is how tall your child is, and can the seat be raised high enough to keep legs up and on the peg. If your child is tall enough, you can see about removing the pedals on a regular bike, and using the same concept (easier than you'd think). We have a son who had very difficult balance problems, and it took him only about a month. Our other son used it for only a week and a half. Good luck! Not sure.

A 20" balance bike, the Super Glider, would be a better fit for this child.

Hi! I personally don't remember what the exact weight limit was, you may want to review it. For some reason 100 lbs sticks out in my mind because my grandson is a big seven year old and I was concerned about his weight at 79 lbs might have been to heavry. But after reading the description, I want to say that 100 lbs was the limit. But checking for yourself would be best. Peace

No, I think that's too old for this bike. My son is a tall 5 year old that weighs 65 lbs, and he fits it just fine right now.

I think you would be better off taking pedals off bigger bike. My child is 8, 66 pounds and has almost outgrown this. She is probably on a 20-24 inch bike now.

My son is now nearly 9. He's 85 pounds and 4'8 tall. He still loves his go-glider, but I anticipate he will grow out of it this year. I teach 7th graders, so am cognizant of their size; I think it would be too small for a typical 12 year old. Hope that helps!

Yes. I would say this bike was perfect for my daughter. She was 2 years old when I got it. She couldn't quite peddle and I knew that would happen. Thats why I went with this bike because of the handle. She learned how to peddle and dont want any more help but i still have the bar just for when we come to a hill. She is almost 4 now and I would say its still in perfect shape.

You could but you would have make sure you have the right kind. The bike does not have the usual frame shape so may not compatible with the most common type of training wheels. More importantly, though, this bike is specifically designed to help teach how to ride without training wheels. The kid learns balance first without any pedals, gears or chain in the way. You then add those later (they are included). Hope that helps!

Good question. I don't know. I bought the bike for my 8-year-old granddaughter. However, on occasion, I ride the bike and I weigh 200 lbs. The bike handled my weight just fine. The bike is sturdy. I hope this helps.

Yes. Weight isn't an issue with this kart. It depends on height. The seat has a few adjustments to it and I've had kids ride it that were around that age on the first setting. They were about 49" -53".

Weight has not been an issue for our 2 1/2 years old granddaughter. You can extend the tricycle so we expect touse it for some time. It is very well built and it took time to assemble. German engineering!

This bike fits my tall 7 year old and 9 year old with a bit of room to grow. Would be small for a 13 year old

Hi there, This can vary by weight and height so please keep that in mind.Usually an 8-12 yr old can fit on a 20 inch bike.

My two year old grandson weighs 25lbs and he will be able to use it for another year yet. He enjoys riding on it. I bought it for his first birthday and I wouldn't recommend it for that age, as it tips forward.

No, this is a GREAT bike though! The off brand one we got is way heavier and the set up makes it so smaller children won't fit. Our two year old LOVES this!

You should be just fine with it. The seat does move up and down and forward a bit if needed. My son got it just before he was 8 and he is short for his age. Plus, with the middle bar being a bit slanted it is easier to get on and off. We love this bike!

Our very big three year old is still using this bike. She is 42lbs and 43 inches tall. She has some motor delays due to heart surgery, we wanted to keep her close to the ground. She uses it and motors right along with her bigger siblings. It has been a great bike for us.

It may be. If heseems to have good motor skills it should be ok. My three year old grandson seems to prefer his tricycle at present. He is over thirty some pounds. He will probably use this bike before he turns four.

The bike is really for a kid 7 - 12 years old. The 20" measurement is the size of the tires.

No, the concept of the bike would be grate yet the size is a bit too small. I bought it for my 2yr old and weve already hd to upgrade. These are also sold st Sams Club and some wal-marts so if you can go see it, you should
