Pros: stylish solid bike
"I purchased this bike on line at 7.30am, I had received a call from the shop just after 9am asking when I would be in as it was built and ready for uplift! Given that this was the week of Xmas, I was extremely impressed with this level of service. I collected the bike later in the day and as soon as walking in to the store at Hermiston Gait staff were approaching asking if they could help, again most impressed. The guy who I dealt with knew what he was talking about and I left with the confidence that the bike was "ready to go" for my six year old. He was delighted on Xmas day, solid bike, looks good and he manages it brilliantly with confidence."

"this is a great bike and my 6 year old loves it. great style and all his friends have had a ride on the back using the bars. Have yet to find any faults with it and getting it built for me in store was a bonus which resulted in it not having no faults as if I built it it probably would have fallen apart by now. Wish I had this when I was his age!!"

"This really suited my son who was 7 years old. He is not the biggest of kids so the bike is a little heavy for him, but he loves it. The colour and art work are 'cool' and the stunt bars on the front and rear wheels excite him the most, but not his mum!"

"we purchased this for my 6 yr old son for xmas so he has not yet used it. tried it out in shop though and he loves it. cant wait to give it to him on xmas day. just the right size for him and styling is just what any cool boy could want. he especially loved the stunt pegs (not sure I am so keen on him trying these yet) also has good selection of accesories to match and when we purchased got £20 towards this too which was great"

Pros: `cool ` stunt pegs.
"Took me a long time to track down the perfect bike for my 5 year old son. Trouble was they (bikes) were all either too small, (the ones specially designed for stableisers) or too big. My son is of average size, but has very good riding skills. If you intend to buy this for your child, make sure he can ride a bike without stableisers first. If he can, perfect for 5-7 year olds of average size, in my opinion."

"This is a great looking bike, we purchased it for my son for Xmas as he has grown out of his old bike. Brought during the sale and gou £60 off, so good value for money.
My son has not yet riden the bike as its for xmas, but I have had a good look over it and it appears well made, strong bike.
This is a reaaly good looking kids bike with stunt pegs back and front. Halfords staff were friendly and gave good advise re sizing etc.
