Just loosen the brakes so that they only have enough to slow down the bike not lock the wheel.

My 2 year old wants a "real" bike not a balance bike (and blue). Think this is the best bang for buck right now?

I think you got this wrong. This bike is actually using Aluminum frame and is very light.
According to Amazon it still weights around 19lb which is on the heavier side of the kids bikes.

Quote from THE_lNTERNET :
This bike has great ergonomics for kids. The only downside is the frame weight which at 20lbs (for the 14") is twice as a heavy as a comparable Woom Bike (But 1/4 the price).

It's excellent for a kid who can already ride but the weight might make it intimidating for a smaller/lighter kid as it will hurt a lot more when it inevitably falls on them during a spill.

You are right. Thank you. I updated my comment accordingly.

It is still twice the weight of comparable Woom Bike (I know because I have both for my son)

This is a great deal for a good bike.

Yes, it is heavier than the Woom 2, but not "twice as heavy"...most of the difference it is because of the coaster brake (quite a bit steel parts in that) and the thicker tires btw.

It is a bit big for a 2yo tho, but manageable if you have a tall kiddo. Plus "2yo" is too vague. My kid was in the 85-90% of height all his life and rode this exact bike on his 3rd birthday, so, sure, "some still being 2yos" will do it too.

If you have a balance bike, wait a bit to master it AND NEVER FIT TRAINING WHEELS (the 14" comes with them).
My kiddo pedalled on this 5 min after it was presented to him and he straddled around as if it was a balance bike. If you want to get it and have them get used to it before, just remove the cranks or even the pedals. DON'T GIVE ΤΗΕΜ CRUTCHES ΤΗΕΥ DON'T NEED.

Get them a helmet and knee pads / elbow pads instead, I consider this a requirement and don't let him ride w/o.

If you are worried about front/rear braking etc, IMHO, 3-4yo that will "get it" are an exception. My kiddo is 6 now, has been riding better than most kiddos I know "forever" and barely gets it - most will panic brake. Thus, the best bike for hard braking is still a Guardian bike. The Ninebot 18 is no better than the 14 in this regard. So look in guardians if you want something that they can use without extra risk.

Look it up: as soon as we started riding comfortably and I was taking him on unpaved city paths in SoCal, the coaster brake became a hydrance as it is not easy for them to "bleed speed / comfort brake" with a thing that just locks your rear wheel. Again, kiddos lack the finesse & control for that.

I swapped the Ninebot 14 for a Guardian Ethos 20 "small" (standover height is barely taller than the 14", but the bike is definately MUCH longer, kiddos sit "in it", not above, btu that is great for stability). Was a great bike. Swapped tires to 20" BMX knobbier samples to ride on the bone-dry trails around (barely fits 20x2.0, if you do choose to buy it, get 1.8-1.9 tires instead). Again, if your "benchmark" is whether the kid can lift the bike and walk it up stairs, don't buy that...stay with a woom. If you care for them enjoying trails and rolling down 6-8in bumps and drops and curbs (like my rascal), a larger wheel is what you want for them. This means lots more weight, it is fine, IMHO.

When he "graduated" from learning how to ride a larger bike and decided he could follow me up steeper staff that he would run out of wind pedalling off the saddle, we got a "geared" 20". I had my eyes on the Specialized Riprock 20, but "settled" for a REI Rev 20 plus that was 60% off last year. He rides it on single-track now, learns to feather his brakes with 1-finger braking and is "almost" fluid with shifting (swapped the 6-speed grip shifter with a 7speed trigger + 7 speed megarange freewheel - same Tourney RD).

On tires & pressures: kiddos are super light. They need very little pressures to support themselves. I've been running mid-teens on all of my son's bikes (all with inner tubes so far). Don't over-inflate, you just make the ride uncomfortable. The Rev 20+ is fine with 10-12psi & his current 54lbs.

Edit: yes, we changed 3 bikes in 3 years. I explain why in my long-winded post. YMMV, but plan accordingly.

Quite a bold move for this company to produce non-electric bikes, seems like it's going to confuse people for a bit.

Bought my son a balance bike last year but he is on the short side and struggled with it. I grabbed the 14 with the hopes he's willing to learn without the training wheels down the road.

Frugal tip: go to garage sales and buy a bike for $10-20.

I did, he probably will fit good on it now but he looks at it in the garage with frustration due to past experiences haha. He just fit on it and it left bruising between the thighs. I'm gonna try and give it another go since this will be a gift for his bday in a few months

You automatically think since it says Segway that this is a motorized bike but yet it's just a crappy bike by a company that's been bought by the Chinese.

Yep! Nothing electric or fancy about this, it's just designed to look that way.

I might be missing something but I'm not sure I understand the appeal of this one. I was going to get the kiddo like a ~$60 huffy from Walmart or something and thought when I read Segway it was going to be like a balance assisted bike for kids or something haha... It's uh... just a kid's bike right? Still might be a good price for this particular bike if you're looking for one - are these built like much better than a huffy cheap one for learning??

To me, I feel like the 28 dollar trade off you're getting a better quality bike for your kid. Get the 65 dollar huffy and have fun messing with the chain on that one.

Your 2 year old doesn't know what they really want, trust me I have a 3yo. Maybe try one of these multi use bikes that you can turn into a balance bike.

Debatable. The neighbor kid is a couple months older than her and is already ripping around on a bike with no training wheels. I couldn't believe it myself. She tried his (blue) bike with training wheels and could ride it just fine with close supervision. She has no interest in her two balance bikes anymore 😭. Thanks for the link though.
