Customer Reviews
Good Fair price
The bike arrived very quickly using the free shipping service. The assembly was quick and easy. The tires need to be inflated. The bike has both front and rear hand breaks plus it also has back pedal breaking too. This is a great feature since my 7 year old daughter is not accustomed to the hand breaks yet.
I would recommend this bike to any young girl
Bike You Get is NOT Bike You See!
We ordered this bike for my youngest daughter's birthday this past September. The bike arrived the day before her birthday, and I took it out of the box to assemble that evening. After getting all of the pieces out of the box, we discovered that the bike was purple, NOT blue, the decals were completely different from the picture, and there was no butterfly for the front wheel. My wife and I were pretty upset about the issue, so we called Amazon to arrange for a replacement to be shipped. Amazon's customer service line was extremely helpful, and the guy we talked to apologized a great deal and agreed to ship a replacement bike immediately. He also sent a call tag for the incorrect package, which we had to pack back into the box it came in (NOT an easy task!). We explained the situation to our daughter the next day (which was her birthday), and we felt horrible that she wouldn't get to have fun with a new bike on her special day. Well, two days later the new bike arrived (impressive shipping time if you ask me), so my wife and I started unpacking the box to assemble the bike. Much to our dismay the bike in the box was again not the same as the picture on the Amazon web site. It was again purple, with completely different decals, and NO BUTTERFLY! We showed it to our daughter, and she decided that she wanted to keep it anyway. Still, my wife and I are extremely dissapointed with what we received. We do not really blame Amazon though, because the bike we received IS a Schwinn Mist 20-inch model, and we figure that Schwinn may have simply replaced the previous butterfly model with this purple unit. However, I think Amazon should really update their web site to show the correct colors and style. The purple version is very plain looking compaired to the one shown on the web site. It is a very well made bike, with heavy-duty hardware. Adjusting the calliper brakes was a bit of a chore, but the total assembly took us little more than 20 minutes. The tires on this bike are really FAT! They look almsot freakish! I don't know why Schwinn would go with such wide tires, but I assume it is supposed to make for a more comfortable and stable riding experience. Overall we feel that the bike was a good value, given the solid hardware and the modest price. However, we cannot give it a very high rating because it is NOT what we ordered, and every time we look at it we just feel dissapointed. When you pick something special for your child, to be given as a gift, you really don't feel good about giving them something less. Still, we give Amazon customer service 5 stars for being friendly, courteous, and for shipping out a replacement so quickly. You just don't get service at this level much these days. =o)
QUALITY IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!
THIS IS A QUALITY BUILT BIKE! ASSEMBLY IS EASY AND SHIPPING IS FAST. I ONLY HAD ONE PROBLEM WITH THE ORDER...THE FIRST BIKE WAS DAMAGED BADLY, BUT AMAZON QUICKLY SENT ANOTHER ONE. I ORDERED THIS FOR MY 9 YR OLD DAUGHTER AND SHE LOVES IT. SCHWINN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A QUALITY BIKE COMPANY AND I AM VERY PLEASED WITH THIS PURCHASE.
