2020 Riprock Coaster 12

I bought this bike for 3 reasons: My daughter started riding it at 3yr/3mo. 1/ the hand brake means she didn't have to think about forward/backward pedalling and also could stop while feet off coasting. Brilliant, she picked it up instantly. 2/ Tool-less training wheels means when you're out riding she could have a quick try without them then could pop them back on when she'd had enough. She came from a balance bike so we only used training wheels for the first ride and when riding inside the house. Sometimes she wants them on cos her friends still have them on... 3/Seat height. My 3yo is pretty short. She can ride this no worries. The bad: Bike is heavy. Hasn't been an issue yet and may provide some stability. Still, highly recommended.

Je l ai acheté pour mon fils de 2,5ans qui faisait bcp de draisienne. Je n ai pas mis les roulettes, la prise en main a été rapide. Le vélo est vraiment stable même sur chemin ! Mon petit l adore ! Cependant le rétropédalage ne sert à rien je trouve et que cela amène bcp de poids au vélo ! Et des difficultés pour apprendre à démarrer tout seul. Je ne comprend d ailleur pas pk le velo pèse aussi lourd, c est pour moi son plus gros défaut. Ca fait + 6 mois qu il l'utilise, il est en content et on fait pas mal de chemin roulant et de la route.

After walking in to buy a balance bike we walked out with a much better purchase in the Riprock Coaster 12. Our son loves his bike, we love the quality of the build, the transferable 24mth warranty and the high level of customer service. I do not find the weight of the bike an issue, I actually think it helps our son to gain balance while riding.

The bike arrived and looks pretty good, and the build looks fine too, but as soon as you try to pick it up, which you do alot with a toddlers bike like this, it'll take your arm off. It's weight has also made teaching my kid to cycle all that more difficult. I've tested out other kids bikes and none of them are as insanely heavy as this... Ridiculous!
