Bought this bike for my 7 year old son along with a similar one (Mongoose Chill) for my 10 year old daughter. Both bikes arrived damaged — one had missing and bent parts, another had broken and bent parts. Problems were solved (both Amazon and Pacific Bicycle were helpful) but it was a long and frustrating experience. Allow 1 hour for assembly. The bikes are sturdy and well made, but a little bit crude. They are heavy and only have a single speed so they are not good for hills. But they look cool, and my kids love them! My 7 year old is a little bit small for the bike, my 10 year old is a little bit big on hers. Both my kids are average size, so I think the guideline of 7-11 years old is accurate.
I got this for my 14 year old son for Christmas. It is now the end of August and it has been a good bike for my son. He is a tall kid at 5′10, but he rides this bike every day with no problems. I had no problems with shipping, parts, or instructions.
