Schwinn Koen & Elm Big Kid Bike

So far this review is for assembly and testing only .. the bike has not yet been given as a gift I will update after active use. Bike came mostly assembled which is great ... I'm fairly handy and experienced at assembling products . It took me about an hour by myself to fully assemble also in part because I didn't have the right size wrench or socket somehow the nuts are a size in between on all my tool sets yet it was still easy to do with pliers / adjustable wrench etc . The bike looks fantastic and has that "BMX" look that kids should really enjoy . Installation included inserting and tightening the seat , inserting straightening and tightening the handlebars and front tires ( important to spend time here to ensure the tire is balanced , straight and aligned with the handlebars / frame ). Installing the foot pedals was a simple 1 bolt operation. Simple adjustments like tightening reflectors and hand brake position. Installing and tightening the seat ( also important to make sure it's straight). The tires came completely flat but firmly affixed to the rims . I filled the tires and so far they seem to be holding proper inflation. The rear brake was almost ideal out of the box so a slight tightening was done on the rear brake cable. The front brake cable was too loose to catch the tire , about 5 minutes of tweaking and tightening and the brake now seems to perform as intended . Bike comes with a kickstand and chain guard already installed which both function well . The bike also has a pedal brake. So far so good will update as necessary.

Awesome quality, easy to put together! Our son loves it!

This bike was a Christmas present for my 10 year old daughter. The size chart was so helpful in helping me decide which size to buy. All of the parts were included, my husband said it was very easy to assemble. Love that the pedals are closer together for her feet, pedaling is so much easier and the bike rides really smoothly. I saw some reviews about the brakes being an issue, we have had no issues with the brakes thus far. The bike is lightweight and comes with a kickstand, which a lot of bikes don’t, so I appreciated not having to purchase separately. Great value for money and functions super well for a fairly new bike rider, and she loves the blue color.

I bought two of these Schwinn Koen 20 bikes. I selected this bike because it has both a coaster break as well as front and rear hand breaks. Both bikes must have been factory assembled with power tools. I’m a strong man and struggled with the rear axel nuts. Every thing from the chain to the axle bearings were over tightened… probably for shipping purposes. This explains some of the negative reviews I’ve seen.. At 68 I’ve assembled and repaired many bikes and these two were no harder than any of those in my past. The bikes are down sized everywhere to accommodate a child’s hands, feet, legs etc. and I like that. They are solid built and should last a long time. The price was comparable to others in its class and I think a better quality. Every thing was well greased and fit without any issues. I only had to lube the pedals and chain which is a normal part of bike assembly.Would I recommend this bike for a child… absolutely!Would I buy them again… yes, but probably won’t need to.Schools out next week… 🤫

Went to together easy. Maybe I looked in the wrong section of the manual but instructions seemed like they were for a different bike - that said I was able to easily figure it out. Had to add some oil to the kickstand but other than that my son took to it fast and was able to ride and enjoy the bike on day 1.

Exactly what we were looking for! We got this for our 7 year old daughter for Christmas. She really wanted a teal colored bike and this really fit the bill perfectly. We saw others and had her sit on and try lots of other style bikes to make sure we would get one she'd be confident and comfortable riding. She's still getting comfortable riding bikes without training wheels (we live in a rural area where there's a lot of dirt and the only place she can ride is in the street which makes it difficult for me to keep an eye on her all the time). Anyway, so I believe she still needs the foot breaks until she transitions to a hand break only bike. This was the only bike I could find that was all the things we needed, right color, and it has the hand and foot breaks. We found that the BMX style bikes were uncomfortable for her because you have to lean farther forward on them to reach the handles. This one gives you a more upright posture while riding and has a more cushioned seat than the BMX style bikes that we tried. Obviously she hasn't been able to ride it much but roll it around the house a bit because it's winter time and there's a lot of snow outside, but it looks like a very well made and sturdy bike that I expect to last for many years. She loves it, and I love it. My husband put it together in maybe 20 minutes or less. Definitely recommend. The price tag was a bit more than I wanted to spend on a bike, but for the quality and it having everything we were looking for, it was definitely worth it. Shipping was fast, no complaints.
