16 Inch KIDS BIKE Doctogirl 500 4-6 YEARS OLD

I have to say the bike itself is very good and well made and my daughter loves it she got it for her Birthday just under 2 years ago, we bought it big so she would grow into it, but I have to say the braking system on it is total crap, I fully appreciate its a child's bike but for the sake of an extra £10-£20 they could put a descent braking system on it and id still pay the money for it, ever since we have gotten it ive had to tinker with the brakes on a weekly basis to get it to work right and it not because I dont know what im doing, they are just very poorly made and designed and no, ive not taken it back to the shop because I know they themselves could not make them work any better. Its a poor design and something Decathlon really needs to look at. one other small issue is the mud guards are just slightly too close to the tyres when u consider kids go into all kinds of mud with these bikes,, the wheels sometimes get clogged up. The gap between the tyre and the mudguard should be about 10mm more, especially at the end of the back mudguard and no u cant adjust them any more than I already have because the wire that goes to the wheel nuts cannot be altered in length. Ive been buying from Decathon for nearly 20 years now and have bot lots and lots of stuff from them and this is only the 2nd time ive had to write a poor review on their products.

Great bike.

Nice bike for small ones , easy to cycle .

Daughter loves this. Enables a speedy transition from stabilisers. Well balanced bike.

Daughter loves her new bike. Has everything that she needs. Would recommend.

This bike is fantastic our daughter loves it and is able to cover a large distance thanks to the large wheels. The plastic brake system is great for smaller hands as the brakes are closer to the handles than traditional bikes meaning she can work them easily. Unfortunately the front brake seems to keep rubbing against the wheel rim which slows her down

Excellent, my daughter loves it

Quick delivery. Good quality bike. Helpful staff.

Bike turned up and when we opened it to wrap it for our daughters Christmas present we discovered there were no pedals in the box. This was the Sunday before Christmas. Waited(!) until the telephone support opened at midday (??!) But we're promised this would be delivered the next day by courier. We are still waiting and have had no response from Twitter requests. Terrible customer service but nice bike

Our 5 year old daughter used this bike for about 8 weeks. Within the first 4 weeks the front brake wire had come out of one side of the calipers. I fixed it, though noticed that the runner had bent slightly. This was with normal usage by a 4 year old. It seemed to be securely fixed (and again because she was only 4 so not exactly hammering it for miles on the road) so let her carry on with it. Yesterday the front brake failed again, only this time as she was heading down a sloping driveway towards a main road. She bumped over a grass verge and onto the road. Very fortunate that there was no collision and far more serious consequences. The bike had been checked in store and had absolutely typical usage. It was stored in a garage and otherwise well maintained.

My 6 year old daughter had just learned to ride without stabilisers on her old bike. As a reward she was promised a new bike. After much searching and looking at licenced bikes for similar or more money. It was clear this was the best quality for the price. Some great child friendly touches like the easy pull brakes and thinner handlebars for small hands. It rides really smooth and is clearly a ‘quality bike’ not just a cheap bike with Disney or Spider-Man stickers on it which equals expensive but poor quality. I think this will be the start of regular bike purchases as both my children grow.

Our daughter loves this bike, bought it 6 weeks before her 4th birthday instead of a balance bike. She has stabilisers with it. Great advice in store as she would have outgrown the balance bike within months. I know people will say she should start on a balance bike but everybody in our family has managed to learn with the aid of stabilisers and it’s one less thing to have to ‘re-cycle’ before Christmas!!!
