Your cart is empty.The Schwinn Elm is a great bike for teaching your child to ride with confidence. The Elm features a SmartStart design, which has been carefully calibrated to a child’s proportions for a comfortable ride and ideal riding position. This includes a lighter bike frame for added control, smaller grip handles to match smaller hands, a narrower pedal position to match narrow kid hips, and much more. Best of all, the Elm grows with your child. The tool-free adjustable seat post easily accommodates your child as they get taller. Plus, the inclusion of both rear coaster and front hand brakes eases the transition to a bigger, hand-break-only bike when they’re ready. Teach your child the joy of riding on the brand you trust with the Schwinn Elm.

The bike is a gift for my granddaughter, and she LOVES it!!! I am pretty handy with tools, but having said that, be aware that the box it arrived in clearly states that it should be assembled by a professional, and the instructions were not specifically for the bike I bought.. so you have to figure out what type of seat , wheels and most importantly brakes you have. And you will need a tire pressure gauge and bike pump, because the tires have to be inflated to a specific PSI. Also, if you read the AI generated information about ease of assembly, know that there are NO TOOLS included as it says.. the box does not state that tools are included.. so I’m not sure where that information came from. Aside from that, it’s a very sturdy bike, the seat height is adjustable so as your child grows taller, the bike can grow with them. Stability with the training wheels in place is really good. I would definitely recommend this bike.. but if you are not mechanically inclined, be prepared to have someone else put it together.

There are no training wheels (the description is completely deceptive), I can't install the reflector because its base which is attached to the bike is missing, there is no installation section in the manual. Unless the company sends the missing pieces and wheels, I will keep this score. The box in which the bike comes is very fragile and with a lot of holes. It would be a reasonable birthday gift. Please look for something else!

Ik heb tot 2x toe gekozen voor een gebruikt product en tot 2x toe een andere fiets ontvangen. Er bestaat nog een Elm en die kleuren lijken erop maar je ontvangt een andere (goedkopere) fiets zonder terugtraprem (coast break).Na de eerste had ik al contact opgenomen met Amazon en heb vervolgens nogmaals de gok gewaagd maar dus weer de verkeerde ontvangen.

Great bike. Value is perfect. Other bikes seemed like and ungodly amount for a first bike. My husband easily assembled this bike in about 20 min. Aired up the tires and our kiddo was ready to ride. The bike is so well built and sturdy!

Das Hinterrad wurde werksseitig falsch montiert so das beim Zusammenbau ein unnormaler Widerstand bei Betätigen der Pedale spürbar war.An der Hinterradachse war die markierte linke Mutter bis zum Anschlag an die Radnabe festgeschraubt. Hierdurch bedingt wurde bei der Montage des Hinterrades am Fahrradgestell ein Druck auf das Radlager ausgeführt, welche die Schwergängigkeit verursachte. Normalerweise ist das kein Problem wenn man die Mutter auf die richtige Einstellposition bringt um diesen Mangel zu beseitigen.DOCH...wer hier nicht über das notwendige Werkzeug (schmaler 15er Maulschlüssel und Schraubstock) verfügt, ist aufgeschmissen.Das Radlager wird bei der Demontage zum Teil geöffnet und man sollte sehr aufpassen das hierbei keine weitere Beschädigungen durch herabfallende Kugellagerrollen auftreten. Die Mutter war zudem sehr fest angezogen.Wäre es nicht vor Weihnachten gewesen, hätte ich diesen Schrott umgehend zurückgeschickt. So habe ich mich vorerst an die Arbeit gemacht (ca. 2 Stunden) um diesen Mangel zu beseitigen.Falls nun meinem Enkelkind das Fahrrad nicht zusagen sollte, geht es sofort an AMAZON wieder zurück!

Bought this one for my 5 years old daughter. She was looking forward to the bike for weeks. Unfortunately she tried riding on this bike once and gave up on it. It felt rough and gave pain to her butt. After just 1 test ride, its now sitting in my storage waiting to be disposed of. Better off testing before buying any bike people, unless u are really sure about you want to buy. Decathlon in Singapore is worth trying out if you want to buy simple bikes.

This 18" bike was purchased for a 4.5 year old (46" tall) who is riding without training wheels. Despite reservations that this bike would be too big, it is the perfect size with the seat down all the way and there is plenty of room to grow.Assembly took about 20 minutes and the only tools that were needed was an Alan wrench, socket set and Phillip screwdriver. Most of this time was actually spent unpacking the bike which was wrapped heavily in cardboard and other protective material. Actual assembly time was closer to 10 minutes. The only fine tuning required was the front break and everything else went together smoothly. I liked how the handlebars are adjustable so I was able to angle them inward for the shorter arm reach.I did remove the plastic number plate off the handlebars because I didn't like the look. Otherwise this is a sharp looking and sturdy kids bike that should be good for two to three years of use. I also liked that it came with a kick stand which most other bikes tend to come without these days.This is a shout out to Amazon Warehouse Deals for a Used - Very Good item that only had a banged up box and otherwise appeared brand new for $60 less than a new bike. Most sizes and colors had numerous items on Amazon Warehouse Deals so there is a good chance you'll be able to save some money on this bike. Funny thing is this item actually came with two sets of pedals, when most items tend to be missing parts, so if you get this item and are missing pedals let me know and I've got you covered.

We got this one for our granddaughter's fifth birthday and it was a hit. It was super easy to assemble and the design and sturdiness of the bike was excellent. Schwinn has always been a good name for bikes so I felt this was a good choice for her first two wheeler. She had an easy time riding and loved it. In fact, it was such a hit that we bought a second one for her sister who will be turning 3 this month. She's tall for her age and loved riding her sister's bike. She chose a different color and is really happy with it. Only downside is the lack of a kick stand which we will need once the training wheels come off. It would be nice to have a matching stand rather than the chrome color that can be purchased separately. The basket is also a bit flimsy and could break after several falls once the training wheels come off and the bike hits the ground. These are all minor inconveniences as the overall quality of the bike seems really good. It's only our first month so we'll have to see how the two bikes hold up after this summer.

Reading some of these reviews had me a bit concerned. I believe that many are written by individuals expecting the bike to arrive ready to ride. This is not the case.You should avoid making this purchase if you are not mechanically inclined. With that said, assembly is not difficult. This will include adjusting the hand brakes. These are the items usually already done for you when purchasing from a bike shop.A lot of reviews mention issues with the crank bearings failing. I believe this is caused either by they way the bike is shipped or by kids dropping the bike on its side too frequently after removing the training wheels. That is because the crank housing is plastic. It’s the only thing that is lacking of typical Schwinn quality. When the bike arrived at my house, it was clearly marked not to place the package on its side. The delivery person did so anyway.Before I even pulled it out of the box, I checked to make sure it was not damaged and that there were no missing parts. Good to go!This is a very nice kid’s bike and my son loves it. The bike is fairly lite for having a steel frame. If your kids requires an 18 inch model or smaller, I would recommend it. If you are looking for a 20 inch model, I would consider another model or brand, especially if your kid is an aggressive rider.Good luck!
