Retrospec Koda Plus Kids Bike for Boys & Girls Ages 6-8 Years - 20" Children's Bicycle, Adjustable Seat & Handlebars

I bought this bike for my 6 year old daughter knowing that it did not include training wheels and that she had never ridden a bike without training wheels. When she was much younger, she had a Disney themed big wheel tricycle, a retrospec balance bike, and then a Red Rider tricycle. The morning after I had assembled this for her, she dragged me outside way too early in the morning to try it out, so I showed her how to try to keep balance and how to catch herself in case she can't. Went back inside to do some chores and when I went back out half an hour later to check on her, she was riding two wheels down the street without training wheels by herself with no help. Well I attribute a fair amount of that to previous experience with other bicycles and balance bikes, I feel like this bike made it very easier for her to transition. It wasn't just because it was a lighter bike because I've definitely seen Walmart bikes that are slightly lighter, but it seems much more balanced with a much more centered center of gravity.

Got this bike for my son as his second ever bike. We initially looked at the big name, apparently "ultra-safe" bike, but we were turned off by the non-stop emails the company started sending us. And then the cost... they want HOW MUCH for a bike they openly admit my child will outgrow in less than two years??? Yeah, no. We started looking for more reasonable options and found this bike. It has most, if not all, of the same features as that "protective" bike, but for a lot less. Assembly was relatively quick and simple. The only issue I had with the bike was one valve stem tore out of the innertube of one tire... Thankfully a local sporting goods store had the right size in stock on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. My son loves the bike and enjoys riding it, which is more than could be said about his first bike. He's crashed it and dropped it a bunch of times but you cannot tell, it's just that durable. It may be a little on the heavy side, but that just builds character (and muscle)! When he outgrows this one, we'll probably buy the next size up.

We’re pretty happy with this bike. My 5 year old rides it and has done well with it. (He already knew how to ride without training wheels on smaller bike). The hand brakes were new to him but he figured it out pretty quickly. He was just on the edge of being tall enough to reach when we got it which was a bit of a challenge but he has room to grow with it. He dropped it a few times and the front brake pads fell off but we should be able to find replacements for it hopefully. After about a year, it also needs a new back tire bc he likes to make skid marks and the tire is very worn. When putting it together, my husband did have to put some time into it to try to straighten out the front wheel since the frame seemed a little crooked/bent.

Took some setup but has been great for 8 year old. Basket and customization with stickers are excellent. Quality compared to others.Basket is really cute to hold things and wouldn’t hesitate to buy again.

If you are looking for a bike for your kids then this is the good one in the market. I did a lot of research before buying this bike for my 6 years old. This bike is light weight, adjustable seat to fit my kid’s height, easy to assemble, and very sturdy. I tried this bike my own and there was no problem with this bike carrying an adult like me.

Amazing!!! My daughter rides her bike almost every day…One concern I do have is that the brake keeps knocking out of place 😕

Bought this bike for my daughter. She loves it and it has held together nicely considering she is a little rough with it.Only reason for 4 stars is because there is a coating on the paint in certain areas that causes the bike to be dirty all the time because you can’t wash whatever is on it off in these areas. Not a big deal.Great Bike.

When I put this bike together, I was surprised and disappointed that I had paid for a new bike (20 inches) that was not actually much larger than our current bike (18 inches). So much so, that I decided I would return it and went back to trying to teach my daughter (7) on her current bike. When I couldn’t raise the handlebars on her current bike, we tried the Retrospec again, using the same method (taking pedals off and lowering seat, then raising seat and putting pedals on after she could coast and control the steering). It was amazing how much easier this bike was for her to ride and control. It may not look much bigger, but I think they designed it this way on purpose. She will still get a few years out of it, and I am thrilled with the quality and style, as well as ease of riding. We will absolutely upgrade to the 24 inch of this same bike when she’s ready. It was $200 and two evenings well spent. Highly recommend!
