Strengths

  • Three lockable power modes (about 6, 8, and 13.5 mph) plus a fully non-powered coast mode.
  • Just 19 lb with battery, kids pick it up themselves.
  • TIG-welded heat-treated aluminum frame and a brushless motor with thermal protection.
  • Quick-swap power-tool-style lithium batteries keep sessions going.
  • Enclosed rear drum brake is weatherproof and small-hand friendly.

Weaknesses

  • $1,049 for a 16-inch kids bike is a serious commitment, and spare batteries cost extra.
  • Hard 75-lb and age 5-7 window, kids age out fast.
  • Stock fluctuates; the brand store was sold out at research time.
