Great kids bike. Bought this for my 7 year old daughter this year.

If you have a local cycle shop, I would encourage you to contact them as the price is likely the same $250 and will probably end up being cheaper because there's no shipping charges ($50). Will also get support from that shop for patronizing them, and supporting a local business.

I believe I paid $268 out the door ($250 + taxes). Daughter and I had an fun picking it up, and she got to check out the cycle shop. Core memories.

no kid is worth that.
The carbon hotwalk is def not worth it for something the kid will grow out of in less than a year - but a really cool thing if you have 500 bucks to burn lmao.

Honestly though it may be doing a kid a disservice to start them on this - every other bike will feel heavy as i don't think there are really many 16 or 20 inch carbon bikes for children..

Thats exactly what we did yesterday. Not to mention they'll set the bike up meaning I didn't have to do much more than double check some nuts and brakes. 268 out the door is exactly right.

Nice ride for the $$$$...Schwinn were selling on target for $75 👍
Those Schwinn's you reference, while decent starter bikes, are pretty heavy. I got my daughter the 16" version of "Scwhinn Smart Start" bike from Target. It was a great first ride, and the geometry really is good for learning to ride without training wheels, but it's heavy... She now has a Cannondale Trail 20 which is aluminum and it's insanely light. This is important as they start to travel farther distances on their bikes.

This Specialized is honestly an awesome deal for a 20" freewheel bike that doesn't have any gears. There aren't many bikes like this available, and for $250 its a good deal, especially if you can find locally and can avoid the $50 shipping.

Thanks for the advice. I contacted one local shop that was still tacking on the $50 "s/h" charge, even though they had the bike assembled in store. The second shop I contacted did not have the $50 additional charge, so I ordered from them! My 5 year old is getting big for his bike and this will make a nice Xmas present.

If a shop didn't have a big enough bike order, they're paying Specialized $50 per bike to have the bikes shipped to them. Since margins are pretty low on these, they often have to pass that fee on to the buyer in order to remain profitable, pay their employees, and keep the lights on.

Edit: The store with stock also probably bought these at the previous wholesale price, which is more than the current sale price, so they're already losing money on them. The store that's ordering them in now is getting them at the current reduced wholesale price and will have a little profit.

My recently 6 YO has been riding a 14" single speed with front and rear handle breaks (freehub) without training wheels since just before his 4th Bday. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&psc=1
The geometry is excellent and now that he's maxed it out with seat all the way up - he's riding like a true adult cross country bike. However, he's ready for an upgrade. I think he needs gears at this points since he'll pedal that 14" like a hamster. Am I thinking right or should the single speed 20" be geared sufficiently to go very fast?

my comment was dry humor, which 3 out of 4 people don't get.

tbh, i'm precisely the person who WOULD buy something like this for my kid. thankfully she's 8 now and riding a normal two wheeler, and the doctor confiscated my testicles so i'm good there too.

Any way to avoid the 50 shipping fee? Ship to store or home are both $50 on top.

I'd buy a Polygon Premier over this which comes with 7 speed gearing. It is heavier, though, by about maybe 2 lbs. The gearing is a bit small and my 7 year old is outspinning her 20" and am trying to figure out a good 24" option. Anyone have any bikes they love in 24" that are reasonable?
