First and foremost, I should note that you need to know something about bike maintenance....well, actually....you need to know everything about bike maintenance if you're planning on buying this for your child and putting it together yourself. If you don't know how to maintain a bike, I suggest taking it to a bike store to getting it checked. Specifically (based on my experience putting two of these together now), at the very least you should look out for the following issues that I found on either both, or one or the other of the two bikes that I purchased for my kids: 1. Brake cables not oiled (unexpected). 2. Brake cables not properly adjusted (somewhat expected, but one was really, really off). 3. Brake pad adjustments required after installing the front wheel (expected). 4. Grease various parts (expected - handle bar joints, seat post. Unexpected - kickstand spring/mechanism). 5. Check tightness of brake hand levers (expected, I guess). 6. Fully deflate and reposition inner tube inside the tire (unexpected). 7. Remove buckle from rear wheel!!! (Yikes - that was totally unexpected - see the video). 8. Check every bolt on the bike to ensure reasonable tightness for the purpose (expected, I guess, and there was one loose bolt on the rear wheel, so please do check). 9. Oil bike chain and inflate tires (totally expected). In essence, it seems that there is not a great deal of concern about the final stages of manufacturing of these bikes, i.e., the stage where they're basically putting all the parts together. Having said that, the bike design is quite good and suitable for normal bike riding (not for tricks, freestyle, racing, etc.). The manual that came with the bikes was not specific for this model, but was general for several of the models that they sell. It was well-written and generally easy to comprehend. The paintwork, tires, frame construction, and individual components (brake parts, pedals, kick stand, handlebar grips, seat cushion, paint on the rims) are all of good quality for the cost of the bike. I do have a concern about the quality of the rear wheel hub as I'm certain that they are running a little too noisy (suggesting a lack of grease or poor quality components - listen carefully to the lower-pitched, grinding sound in the video - that sound is coming from the wheel hub, not from something rubbing against the rim or tire). I suspect that they will last at least a couple of years so I'm not too concerned about that. It may be that they are meant to be noisy, although the noisy rear hub, combined with the buckle in one of the rear wheels (see video) just makes me wonder again about the final stage of manufacturing of these bikes. OK, overall, not a bad bike for the price, but be prepared to put in some effort to ensure a safe ride for your child or grandchild. Bike size advice: My kids are both nine years old and about 54" and 52" tall, and the bikes work well for both of them. I expect that they'll get about one to two years of use out of the bikes. So the 42" - 56" recommendation, and 5 - 9 year age group seems reasonable. However, I do think (but am not certain) that the average 5 year old would be a little too small to handle this bike size. For example, I feel that the handlebars would be sitting a little too high for a typical 5 year old, and I also feel that the brake levers would be a little too difficult for a 5 year old's hands to reach comfortably. Again, I stand corrected on this. Worst case scenario, if it is too small you can always store it for later use. I think the perfect age for this bike would be a seven year old, average-size kid, and would end up getting about 3 years of good use out of it.

This is the first "Bike-in-a-Box" that I have ever purchased (Hiland Redeem in Green). All of my bikes have always been purchased from a brick-and-mortar store. Due to COVID, this was my only choice to get my son his present. The item arrived with a hole in side of the box, and the front axle was poking out. Luckily, nothing was damaged. Everything else looked to be intact, and of course there were no instructions. Being the bike mechanic for all the kids in the neighborhood, I didn't need the directions. I agree with all of the other reviewers that this bike needs to be assembled and tuned up from top to bottom. Here is what I experienced: Some parts (stem, wheels, chain) were very tight; the crank was unusually loose and later discovered during a test ride. The stem was so tight, it would not rotate. This had to be fixed before the handlebars were mounted. It was loosened, adjusted, and realigned. Then the handlebars were mounted. While adjusting the cable for the front brakes, the cable loop (which is simply spot welded) broke off. This was easily fixed with a cable tie. Front and rear axles needed to be loosened a bit to rotate freely. I also checked to make sure they were greased (luckily they were). The rear wheel was adjusted so tight, that the chain would most likely snap. I loosen the steel nut on the adjusting bolt (near the cassette) to give the chain a small amount of play. The rear axle pegs were then tightened, and the chain tension rechecked. The rear brake cable was adjusted so that it fed into the clamp from the outside. This allowed for proper clearance between the bare cable and the seat tube. During the test ride, the crank nut loosened to where I was able to spin it with my fingers. The chain wheel was also wobbling. I removed the crank nut completely to get access to the fasteners by the chain wheel. Once every nut on the crank was tightened back up, I rode the bike again. This bike rides fine, and is not too heavy (about 30 lbs.). The brakes work fine, but the pads are terrible. If I plan to relive my "Rad" (the Hal Needham movie) days, I will have to swap the pads for some Kool Stops. I am giving this item four stars because it is essentially a China knock-off of the Mongoose Legion, but it does the job. The price (costs more than a Mongoose!?) is only inflated because of COVID.

Oyr 7 year old loved his new bike.

Please disregard my previous reviews. Do not purchase a bicycle We did and we're told bad review issues had been corrected! Ruined my grandsons birthday! 13 % one star rating. Front fork on bike is defective cannot install front wheel as previously noted in reviews. Tube steel cannot easily spread fork to accept wheel. I am very angry this company could have done better. I took BICYCLE to a shop and had them spread the fork which made it possible to install the front wheel. Huge inconvenience and cost.

I bought the orange one for my son. He’s 12, 5’7” and 210. He ADORES this bike. He insisted I write a very positive review. He says it rides smooth and has been riding on it non stop which is crazy, cuz he loves to be on the internet. He was in the hospital unexpectedly this week and and this arrived a day later. It just uplifted his spirits so much. Excellent bike. THANK YOU!!!!!

I literally saved $80 on this for my son. He is 4"11" & 93#. It had 3 scratches on it( repaired with a gloss blk paint marker) &1 of the pedals needs to be tapped. He & myself are very pleased.

We went into Canadian tire in Nanaimo BC to buy our granddaughter a bike When we arrived at the front door the security guard was berating a little old lady wearing an oxygen mask who could not wear a face mask for Covid and had a medical exemption in her hand The security guard was so abusive we turned around and left the store and ordered online from Amazon I am so glad we did we receive this wonderful one piece alloy bike very high tech for a child’s bike When we received the bike shipping had damaged the box so we were a little concerned we checked the front wheel and it had a wobble in it The manufacturer offered to send us a new wheel so we accepted and the new wheel arrived promptly This bike is really great our granddaughter can keep up to us on our full-size mountain bikes Thank you Hylande for such a great product keep up the good work!!!!

Amazing bike and amazing quality!

A ne pas acheter. Il est beau avec son noir mat. Il semble bon. Mais erreur: les rayons des roues sont mal visses, les vis ressortent et son tranchantes. On ne s'en rend pas compte, car elles sont cachees sous le pneu... Mais aussitot qu'on gonfle le pneu, la chambre a air est percée par ceux-ci. Si elle ne de perce pas aussitot, elle se percera quand votre enfant roulera et c'est très dangereux. Selon moi, un rappel devrait etre fait pour ce velo dangereux. Je n'evalue jamais les articles, mais je dois le faire pour proteger vos enfants. Aussi, un plaquettede frein etait tordue... elle ne pouvait pas freiner convenablement sur la roue, car sa courbe ne permettait pas de bien se deposer sur la roue.

Arrivé dans les temps

When you get the bike, it's true that the 15% that we have to assemble is quite easy. But BEWARE... You'll have to do derailleur adjustments to avoid having loud chain noises from gears not changing or it coming off. You can try on your own by following instructions in the booklet. Fyi, I called my local bike shops, and this service is about 50 to 100$ if done by them.
