Advantages: Cheap and Cheerfull

Disadvantages: Very Heavy, Not servicable

Hi, I work in a bike shop and we do sell these bob the builder bikes. Personally, I don't like calling them bikes, I prefer to call it a toy. It doesn't have the characteristics as other bikes, it has platics wheels and cheap brkaes, a skinny axel, its a child's play thing, but for that, it is very good. We sell them for £75 and we get a lot of people buying them, they're covered in bob the builder, has canitlever style "U" brakes and some good stabalisers. Its a good bike for getting the child to learn how to ride the bike without stableisers, bacause you can slowly bend outwards the stableisers, so that instead of riding on his side, the child will naturally learn how to balance! Overall I like it. If you buy it for a 3 year old, it will probably last 2 years, a younger child could probably ride it, but in my personal oppinion, I wouldn't let a 2 year old ride it for safety. The cranks ad chainring are metal, so don't take off the chaingaurds because it could badly hurt the child. The handle bars and brakes and pedals are all cheaply Taiwanese parts so it all comes together at a very resonable price. Hope you like it too!
