It took all of 30 minutes to put the bike together. First thing I did was bring it to a bike shop and have them go through it. A well spent $30.00 in my opinion. My wife and I went out for a short ride to acclimate ourselves to the bikes. We had a good time. The shifting is solid and the brakes are firm. This bike seems to not want to be pedaled since it can coast for a long time. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a nice solid bike.

The bike came packaged with the handle bars crammed into the spokes which bent the front wheel significantly during shipping. The bikes looks nice sitting on it's kick stand but it is unrideable so I can't tell if there is any other problems. Very disappointing.
Update, next day: After a chat with customer service I was given the option of disassembling the bike, repackaging and shipping the entire bike back for a new one. All for a bent wheel. Or option 2 was to receive a partial refund of $30.00. I chose option 2 to avoid repackaging and shipping the whole bike back, and I will go to a bike shop to find a new wheel I guess. Still kind of a bummer.
I might bump this review up a star if the bike shop doesn't take me to the cleaners.
Update, later that day: According to every bike shop in my county it is going to cost me at least $75 to replace a 26" front wheel with quick release and disc brake. So, minus the $30 partial refund that Amazon promised me, it's costing me about another $50 and three down days to get this bike operational. Keep in mind that $50 is 20% of the cost of the bike. If that ever happens I'll review it's performance. I am back to very disappointed.

I bought three of these bikes for my triplet sons' birthday. They arrived well-packaged and there were very few parts to assemble. Each bike took about 30 minutes to put together. The bikes are great and well worth the money. I went to three bike shops before I bought these, and they seem to be a better quality for about $125 less for each bike (when you have to buy 3 bikes, that makes a big difference). A few slight adjustments to the gears and brakes, and they were ready to ride. My favorite feature is the disc brakes...they are smooth and stop at high speeds very well. The bikes are light and the gears transition well. I had read that the bikes are a little on the small side for each frame size, which is one of the reasons I bought them. I got the small frame which should be 16 inches. My sons are about 4'10" and the frame fits well with the seats in a low position and they just about clear the bar when standing. Based on this, others may want to get one size larger then they would normally buy. Overall, this was a good Amazon purchase. The kids are enjoying the bikes, and I am happy.
