ByK Bikes E250 Kids Bike

I bought the bike one year ago. No problem with assembly and I don’t own a bike. I liked the design ideas in mind to make it easy to learn to bike. The handle was useful for the transition away from training wheels. I think it was easy to gain confidence in riding with this bike and that was a one of the goals. The rider height recommendation was accurate. Nice product.

This bike is solid and has some great features but it is difficult to assemble and the instructions are very vague with no images to refer to. We did the best we could and crossed our fingers that our little guy doesn't get hurt due to our poor assembly.

I got this bike specifically because it had the lowest seat height I could find in a bike with real tires and a handbrake. My son got the hang of his strider really early and at the age of 3 needed something tiny he could pedal.I swapped the included 'slick' street tires for Kenda BMX style and they barely fit - but worked. Now he pedals and bombs the dirt trails around our town with Dad. Big win.He didn't like the handle so we had him learn with the training wheels in the highest position. It took him about 2 weeks to get comfortable pedaling and starting on the training wheels. In those two weeks the training wheels got really messed up (chipped and cracked) so I don't recommend this bike unless your child has already had a lot of balance bike time and is going to get off the trailing wheels quick.This bike is also a bit heavy compared to the competition and the wheel hubs and bottom bracket were WAY too tight. This caused friction on the pedals and wheels that made pedaling difficult and created extra 'noise'. I loosened the wheel hub bolts and had a bike shop loosen the bottom bracket a bit and now it operates GREAT. I also stripped off the chain guard to eliminate some weight and clutter. Front brake handbrake adjusted out to 'slow down' instead of grab and cause endo as well. If including one hand break it should have been the rear brake in my opinion.So yeah. All in all with different tires, and the extra work, it didn't really pencil out to be the best value BUT it was an excellent option for my son who is tiny and can now bomb with Dad. That's worth any price I could have paid in my book.

I bought this for my sons 3rd birthday and he is just over 4 and has outgrown it. He is 41 inches tall and he is average height so I think having the bike aged 2 - 5 years old is inaccurate. Paying this much for bike to last 1 yearish was a waste. Also something in the back tire makes a clicking sound when he rides it. I had it professionally put together. I brought it back to where I had it put together and they said it was something inside, nothing that would cause harm but not a noise I want to listen to for a bike I paid so much for especially. They told me what it was but I don't remember. I certainly wasn't going to spend 50$ to fix it when I need to get him a new one anyway. What I did like about the bike however was how well he could ride it and it is very light weight. I need to purchase him another bike and it definitey won't be the Byk E350. Maybe will try the Woom 3 or a cleary.

I'm not sure why the reviews for this bike are so poor. We bought this bike a year ago for my daughters birthday and she loves it. It is well proportioned and much lighter than other bikes, which is exactly why we choose this bike (our daughter is on the small side). She can maneuver it well, pick it up, etc.

I bought this bike thinking about its build quality and design. I spent ~$250 on this but it is not worth at all. It comes with cheap quality tires/tubes. The quality and durability of other parts like the lamp, the bell is also bad. They were broken in the first week itself. I would suggest going to a cheaper kid's bike than this one.
