 So/so March 1, 2010
Mandi A. Marrs (Santa Rosa, CA USA)
Bike is nice and sturdy, but we paid $50 to get it assembled. Also it is EXTREMELY heavy for our 5 year old son. He likes the way it looks but because of the weight, he seems to have a harder time stopping (braking).
 Excellent Bike.. Packaging could be better.. February 16, 2010
Bert M. (Peoria, Az United States)
Purchased this bike for my 5 year old son for Christmas 09. When it was delivered, we noticed several parts sticking out of torn parts of the box. Nothing was damaged with the exception of a few minor scuffs but we figured those wouldnt be the last and since they were on the bottom of the frame, we would accept them. Upon assembling the bike, I found that the thin nut that holds the back tire on was stripped beyong salvation. Seeing that it was 2 days before Christmas, there was no chance of getting a new one from the manufaction so I "borrowed" a bolt from his old bike which worked, but didnt fit properly. The borrowed nut was much thicker than the original one therefore the acorn nut that goes on the outside of the training wheel (stripped one supposed to be on inside of training wheel) barely had any threads to hold it. Needless to say it has held up until now and I am awaiting a response from Amazon on getting a new one. Other than that, he loves it and it is the perfect size for a 5 year old.

My 4 year old son loves his new bike, but like other people have said, it is unbelievably heavy. It weighs more than my son and is hard for me to lift into our Jeep to take it places. I'm a little worried that once we take the training wheels off and he starts falling more, the weight of the bike falling on him is going to be a problem. That said, it is a really sturdy bike that I'm sure will last much longer than the flimsy bike he used to have. I do really like the fact that it has both pedal brakes and hand brakes-he can use the pedal brakes until he's more coordinated and has bigger hands, but he thinks the hand brakes make it look like a big boy's bike.
My husband put together the bike without a huge problem but got very frustrated that Schwinn seems to make one instruction manual that is used for all of its bikes. It made it very difficult to determine which directions were for this particular bike and which weren't.

I ordered this Schwinn Scorcher Bike for my 4 year old child -- Santa was bringing him a bike for Christmas! It arrived in the box, when I finally got around to putting it together (Christmas Eve afternoon) I realized after a while that the front wheel wouldn't ever fit into the front forks -- they were bent, either in the factory in China, or on the ship to the US, or in the UPS truck to where I live. What to do? I went out and found another bike, in a store that stayed open after hours just for me -- a 'near disaster' averted. The GOOD news is that I packed up the damaged bike, returned it to Amazon (post paid) and got a refund. End of story. (Never had a problem buying books from Amazon, will think twice about other 'goods' -- but very good returns policy.)

Seems like a good bike, well built with the bigger kid extras (handle brakes, trick front wheel, cool sleek look). I had my bike mechanic put it together though, it was pretty tricky even for him.
