Hello, Is the frame of this bike too large for a 5' '2" 12 year old boy?

I don't it will be too big. After adjusting the seats I think it would be fine.

I would not suggest this bike. The chain would not stay on, and as a result a friend of mine was just riding it & crashed when the chain fell of again.

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.

I'm 5'10" and the bike a a bit small for me, but it's not 12"s small. Many bikes you'll find (even at walmart) are going to be 20", like this one. Best suggestion is to go stand over one of them before buying.

We got this bike for our son who is 4ft 6in as well. He has no issues with it and loves the bike. When we first got it he was actually a little smaller. The bike was slightly big for him at that time but he was still able to quickly adjust to getting on and off and has had no issues riding it.

I am unable to answer this but I am 5'4" and I feel the bike is big and heavy - not in a bad way it provides the robustness that I was looking for. My husband who is 5'11" also rides this bike and it suits him as well.

I'm 5'4" tall 124lbs and the 16" frame is perfect for my body size. It might be slightly to big for him, but the good news is that he'll have it for longer as he gets taller. :)

My nephew is 48 inches and 46 lbs and the bike is the perfect size for him. the bike is not too high from the ground, maybe a foot and a half. I think it might be a little small at 52 inches because the knees might be too close to the handle bars, my nephews are right in line with the seat. Otherwise the bike is easy to handle for a young boy.

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

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.

I would guess that there's not much room to grow for a 5 year old on this bike. My son just turned 4 years old and is about average size for his age and I would say that the bike fits him perfectly. My best guess is that he will have grown out of it when he's about 6.

My son is 5'2". He's had this bike for two years. So, my guess is that this bike will work for you. At 5'2" my son is probably only riding this bike for another year. It's a sturdy well built bike that has served him well.

No, the frame will be large for you. I am 5'1 and was unable to use the bike comfortably.

Bought the bike when daughter was 46 tall. It was too big for her. She is now 50' and 7 years and it seems to be a good fit now. Hope that helps.

I bought this bike for my husband. He is 5'7" and he likes it. Not too tall for him

Joseph, this bike is probably too big. My boys are 11 and both a little over 5ft. When they are on the seat in its lowest position they can't put a foot flat on the ground while bike is upright.

I bought this bike for my 8 year old. He will be able to ride it for a couple more years. He is average height.

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.
