bike shorts5
I have been taking many cycle classes and finally purchased some cycle shorts. They make the ride more comfortable on my backside - the only slight drawback is the elastic around the thighs. They are not tight on me but could be on someone with larger thighs.

Great Bike Shorts!5
These are great shorts. The fit is perfect and the padding is neither too much or too little. These shorts have really made a difference to my level of comfort while riding! They are very reasonably priced as well!

Very comfy! But could use a bit more padding4
I'm a beginner when it comes to biking and I was looking for something comfortable that wouldn't break the bank. These shorts are definitely comfy, affordable, and make riding much more enjoyable. One thing that was important to me was that the shorts fit my thighs. I have pretty big thighs, but these shorts are just perfect. The sizing worked out well too, I am currently wearing a size 14 jeans and I got the XL which was perfect. The only reason I didn't give these shorts a 5 is because I think it needs a bit more padding so you can wear it for long rides.

Finding the Right Bike
To really enjoy cycling, it's important to find a bicycle that works for you. Here are some things to keep in mind when you're in the market for a new bike:

The Right Ride
In general, bikes are broken down into three major categories:

  • Road and Racing Bikes--As a general rule, road and racing are built for speed and longer distances on paved surfaces. Thinner tires, lightweight 29-inch (700c) wheels and drop bars that allow for a more aerodynamic position are the norm. Most road bikes, regardless of price, offer many gears for tackling both hilly and flat terrain.
  • Mountain Bikes--With their larger tires, hill-friendly gearing and upright position, mountain bikes are very popular for all types of riding, both on pavement and off. Mountain bikes that are designed specifically for rugged trail use typically feature a suspension fork. Some may have rear suspension, as well. A quick change of the tires on any mountain bike--even one that you use regularly on trails--adds to its versatility and makes it a worthy street machine.
  • Comfort/Cruiser Bikes--For tooling around on bike paths, light trails, or for cruising a quiet beach-side lane, comfort/cruiser bikes are the ticket. With a super-relaxed riding position, padded seats, and limited or no gearing, these bikes are made for enjoying the scenery and having fun with the family.

The Right Price
A bike's price boils down to three essentials: frame materials, bike weight, and component quality and durability.

  • Entry-level--You'll find a wide range of comfort and cruiser bikes in this category, as well as some lower-end mountain bikes and road bikes. Most will have steel frames and components that are designed to last for several years with frequent use.
  • Mid-range--Bikes in this range may feature a lighter aluminum frame with mid-range components that keep performing after miles of use. If you're looking for a quality bike that is relatively lightweight and will stand up to abuse, this is the "sweet spot." Most serious commuter and touring bikes fall into this category, as do mid-range mountain bikes with a decent front suspension.
  • High-end--Racers and serious enthusiasts who expect lightweight, high-performance components will want to stick to this category. For road bikes, exotic frame materials (carbon fiber, titanium) and ultra-lightweight components can add thousands to the price tag. Mountain bikes in this class often feature advanced front and rear suspension technology, as well as components designed to handle lots of rugged trail action.

The Right Size
Fit is crucial for comfort, control, and proper power and endurance on a bike. Here are some basic bike fit tips:

  • Stand-over Height--To find out if a bike's overall height fits your body, measure your inseam. Next, determine how much clearance you'll need between your crotch and the top tube of the bike. For a mountain bike, you'll want three to five inches of clearance. A road bike should offer between one and two inches of clearance, while a commuter bike should have two to four inches. Compare the stand-over height for a given bike to your measurements (inseam + clearance) to determine the right bike height.
  • Top Tube Length--You can measure your torso to get a good estimate of proper top tube length. First, make a fist and extend your arm. Measure from the center of your fist to the end of your collarbone (the part that intersects your shoulder). Next, measure your torso by placing a book against your crotch with the spine facing up. Measure from the spine to the bottom of your throat (the spot between your collarbones). Finally, add the two measurements (arm length + torso length), divide the number in half and subtract six inches. This is your approximate top tube length. Compare this number to a bike's posted top tube length. You can allow for about two inches longer or shorter, as most bikes can be adjusted via stem length/height and saddle fore/aft position to make fine adjustments to the fit.
  • Bikes for Women--Proportionally, women tend to have a shorter torso and longer legs than men. Bike makers design women's bikes that offer a shorter top tube and many comfort/cruiser bikes built for women may also provide more stand-over clearance.

The Right Accessories
When you make a bike purchase, don't forget these crucial add-ons:

  • Helmet (this is a must!)
  • Seat pack
  • Lock
  • Hydration pack, or water bottles and bottle cages
  • Spare tubes
  • Portable bike pump
  • Gloves

the big problem2
The bike in general is good, everything works, easy assembly, my big problem are the tires, i get a flat tire AT LEAST ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK!!!!!!!, OMG!!!, i need the bike, but this is imposible, i dont know what to do!.

44
It was a little difficult to put it together, I had to take it to the bike shop for final adjustment. Otherwise, so far so good.

Nice bike - very nice price5
I couldn't find a comparable bike for the price. Even with the money I paid to have it assembled, it still was a very good deal. Delivery was very fast too.

  • Brand: Kettler
  • Model: 8718-000

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Product Description
When it comes time to teach your child to ride a bike, there's no better or safer way than the Kettler Sprint Balance training bike. Recommended for children between the ages of 2 and 6 years, the Sprint Balance features a Euro-styled low step-through frame design that won't get in your kid's way, along with a height-adjustable, extra-long saddle with a generous padding for comfort. More significantly, the bike doesn't offer pedals or a chain--rather, little Xander just scoots along on his feet until he figures out how to balance on the wheels. At the same time, the Sprint Balance's patented limited turn radius helps prevent tipping, so Xander won't careen out of control while making his first few turns. Other safety features include Euro-styled wheel and spoke covers (no shoelace tangles here) and 12-inch tubeless air tires with an extra-wide tread. The Sprint Balance, which offers a maximum weight of 100 pounds, is backed by a three-year warranty.

awesome product4
We got this for my son's second b-day. He's of average (or a bit below) height and with the seat all the way down it was a bit too big. He was still able to walk with it and within a month or two had grown tall enough to use the seat. After 2+ months of riding, he's got the concept down and my husband has to jog to keep up. He absolutely loves it!! It's a great way to tire out an active toddler!! I highly recommend this product. I can't wait to see how much it helps him when he tries a real bike...I wouldn't be surprised if we skip the training wheels altogether. I would have given it 5 stars but my husband (who worked in a bike shop) says his only complaint is that it could be constructed better (i.e., better quality materials).

Great bike!5
Love, love, love this bike. My son (now 3 1/2) is no gifted athlete and we had lots of trouble teaching him to pedal a tricycle. He got this bike the xmas after he turned 3 and he jumped on it right away and took off. He goes so fast on it now and is so confident that he only wants to ride the bike now. My German nephew (these bikes are the norm in Germany now) went straight from riding this bike to a real bike without training wheels - no problem. Great quality, fun colors, haven't found a downside yet.

good concept, overpriced for quality3
The concept is good. I think my 3 y/o will easily be able to ride a 2-wheeler thanks to it. But for over $100, I'm not impressed. The quality is so-so and the directions to put it together were the absolute worst--it comes w/ a manual of pictures and warnings in 5 different languages, but only 2 or 3 sentences on how to put the silly thing together. Very vexing. The seat ahdn handlebar adjustments aren't as sturdy as they could be, either. If Kettler is a German product, perhaps the exchange rate is the issue, because I seriously don't think this bike is worth more than $50. Get a balance bike, but if you want to save money, try another brand.

Good Bike5
Well, so far (now that it's warmed up a bit here in Denver), I am using this as a commuter work bike. So far, no issues at all. Will keep a eye on it as I go, but gear systems seem to work well. Bike was VERY easy to put together. I purchased a hand held tire pump as well, so I will keep a eye on this to see how it performs over the summer.

Great Bike...Great Price!5
My wife and I purchased this bike and the "women's versions" of this bike together as a Christmas gift to one another. First, I am 37 years-old and disabled. I needed a bike that is light, yet strong enough to handle my 250lb + frame. Well, this bike is light due to all the aluminum parts that make up the bike and it is the aluminum that gives the bike it strength as well. The bike was a breeze to unpack and set up. Once again, I am disabled, I do not have the strength to manipulate cumbersome items... and this truly was not a cumbersome task! One hour tops from UPS Truck to being able to ride it up my street and back. During the easy and very short set up process, I had time to admire the welds and other artisanship details... I found no flaws. The bike was put together well at the factory. There were no scratches from the assembly line. The welds appear uniform (which is an excellent sign of a good weld). If I have one complaint, it would be the seat... Oh my gosh, that seat! Like I said earlier, I am 37 years old and 250lb +, the seat on this bike is not meant for a large buttock as mine! I think a vertical "Wiffle Ball Bat" would have been more comfortable than this wedge of a seat. I was one bump away from a Proctologist appointment! I am going to remove the seat and install one of those "farm tracker seats"... you know, the ones with the giant coil springs under the copious amount of foam covered in heavy duty 'all weather' fake leather covering! Yea, the Schwinn seat has to go!

mt. bike5
You can't go wrong for the price. I bought two of these bikes, one for me & one for my husband. I find the information that Amazon puts in the ad to be insufficient but overall they are good bikes for the money. They are rather small bikes but lucky for me we are short.

A nice little bell.4
The bell is cute and makes a nice ring. The force required is small enough for young children.

I am a little surprised that it comes left-handed. Maybe there is a way to switch it to right-handedness, but I cannot find any instruction to do so.

It's a bell5
My grandbaby loved this bell more than the trike I sent her! But come on it's a bell. And she can ring it. And tell people to get the heck out the way. And stuff. And... it's wed, my favowit cowow gwama. And... I died.

Great Bike!4
My 4 1/2 year old absolutely loves this bike. It is very girly, with flowers on the seat and all over the frame and hearts on the tire tread. If you have a little "princess" it is just what she needs. The bike itself was very easy to assemble and is really sturdy. It is a pretty heavy bike, but my daughter doesn't seem to have any problems riding it or moving it around while walking beside it. Overall, my daughter and I both think it is a great bike!

Flashy bike5
This bike was purchased for my 5 year old daughter. Like the other reviews, the package came pretty beat up. Fortunatly for me though, there were no missing pieces. The instruction book was confusing in that it showed the entire line of mongoose bikes and was only divided into two sections to find your bike and assemble it. This was just a temp. pain as when it was finished it worked just fine. My child rides it at fast speeds and it performs wonderfully. It is a very nice looking bike that gets compliments all the time, and my daughter still has plenty of room to grow into the bike and hopefully out of the training wheels(easily removable).

some what happy with purchase4
My husband and I bought this bike for our daughter as a kindergarten graduation gift. It was important for us to select a bike with sturdy training wheels and sturdy construction. Well, what can I say......the bike is alright......not what we expected from a Mongoose or for the price. Our main dislike or concern is that the brake on the handle is too hard for our daughters small hands to reach and close properly. It is not a bad bike, but it is not our favorite either. Our daughter seems to have the same opinion.

Great starter bike for 9 yr old5
I have been road biking for 20 years. I wanted to get my grandson something to replace his "half ton" single speed bmx . I did not want to spend a lot. Read a lot of reviews and chose to pass on this bike until I saw one in a bike stand. After looking at the frame and components I decided to buy it from Amazon. It was delivered no charge in two days. It has been perfect for my 9 yr old grandson. We are both biking together. It did require a few adjustments that anyone with metric allen wrenches can do. One suggestion, my grandson has big hands and even with these the brake levers are difficult. He now has mastered them, but a typical 9 year old will have trouble. These levers are for a full size adult. They should be replaced with levers to fit a 9 to twelve year old. Value for the cost is excellent and when he grows out of this bike I have three more grandsons to pass it down to. I would recommend this bike over the trek and other bikes for this age group thereby saving about $500 to put towards his next bike. I think that the grip shifters are more user friendly to a 9 years old then STI's especially since there is a numerical readout that allow him to know where he is when shifting. The most important critic is my grandson and he loves it.

Great Bike4
Unbelievable value for money. My 11-year-old loves the bike. He says to only give a four-star rating because the brakes could use some improvements. Still, he rides all day!

Great bike at a fantastic value5
This bike is a great buy. It is very difficult to find a junior road bike with 21 speed under $200.00 My son was not into the BMX stlye bikes or the Mountain Bikes with shocks. This bike moves realy fast! I took the advice from the previous reviewer and changed the handle bars to a straight bar because my son's reach to the curved handle bars was too far. It took my local bike shop about 1 hour to do and cost less than $60.00 for parts and labor. It needed brake handles and a handle bar and grips. I saw three other bikes in the same size in the bike shop that cost $600.00 and up! After comparing them to the components and weight, I am certain this bike is just as good and a great value!

Customer Reviews

good value for hard riders4
The bike is a great bike for those youngsters who want to ride hard but not do great distances. Our first order arrived damaded but Amazon quickly sent another and my kids were off and riding.

Very nice bike...great price4
I bought this as a gift for my 8 yr. old nephew and he absolutly loves it. I had seen a Mongoose bike for sale at Wal Mart for around $60.00, but you could instantly see the quality difference between this one and the cheaper bike. The price, $119.00 with free shipping was an excellant deal.

Heavier than you expected3
The overall construct looks good. But the weight is not any better than steel constructs

You get what you pay for !!3
This is a Great looking bike. It arrived in only two days with the free shipping. Now for the bad. The front wheel wobbles. The front brake is garbage. I only get 12 gears instead of 18. Well, I can live with just 12 gears, it is more then enough for me. I am fairly handy and did my best in tweaking all items. The front brake is useless, so I just removed it. The fit and finish is about one can expect for a hundred dollar bike. I had to install two new inner tubes because the ones that came with the bike both blew out within the first hour of inflation. And I was quite careful with the overall inflation process. It does gets me around on short trips, and like I said, it looks great. Next time I buy a bike though, will be from a store where it is already assembled and I can check everything out before purchase. The agravation saved will be worth the extra cost.

It is what it is..... A cheap bike1
Let me just say I have taken this bike out on 15 rides the first was a fairly light bike trail and it did ok. The 10+ rides after the first, consisted of street riding and bike trail riding. It handled fair for that. Took it out to the local nature preserve and by the time I was through I wanted to through it into the gulley. This bike is not made to handle offroad. It's definiteley not designed with street in mind either. So that brings me to the conclussion that this is a complete waste of time and money.

I did not buy this bike, I earned it through a program for selling insurance and bought it with my earned miles. I am no pro but I do know how to work on a bike. There is no reason to buy this bike. The suspension bottoms out on 70%-90% of the terrain you will find, even on fire roads. The brakes are no good. I adjusted them as I would any other bike and they worked for about 5 minutes before going back to exactly how they were before I adjusted. It was at the worst time too. Going down a steep hill hit the brakes full and took about 10-20 seconds before I slowed down to a speed where I could put my foot down. Next is the pedal, I have logged over 5,000 miles on previous bikes owned and the pedal broke off within 20 miles on this bike.

Being that this bike is equipped with a dual suspension you would think you can take it into some tough terrain. That is not the case. The only place I would ride this is on the street but then again that is not recommended because the brakes are very sketchy. It looks good but clearly this bike blows. I'm going to sell mine on craigslist for $20! Poor guy that buys it is going to save $80 just to pay hundreds in health insurance cost.

TO THE GUY THAT SAYS A FEW MINOR ADJUSTMENTS AND ITS GOOD: NO NO NO! You either work for Grays Peak or you have yet to take this on a hill. It falls apart, it breaks, it looks good, and the brakes do not work.

off my feet4
I am 65 yrs. old and haven't ridden a bike in a number of years. After reading some neg. reviews, I checked the bike over completely when I opened the box. Everything was good and I wa surprised that I was able to assemble the bike myself. I am 4,000 miles from my mechanic (husband) in Texas, but I can read and know how to use tools. The instructions were very clear.
I am very pleased with my purchase and am looking forward to the day when riding will not make my legs so sore.

Thank you,

This short is OK for the beginner3
When my wife bought me this short, I thought it was great. It was definitely better than the regular short that I used. She then bought me another short-a Pearl Izumi Classic 3D short. She paid $10 more for the Pearl Izumi. Well....I no longer use the Aerotech short anymore. My precious you-know-what got a little numb with the aerotech short after about 5 miles. The Pearl Izumi provided me with the comfort and protection for a much much longer ride. The quality is so much better for only $10 extra. The moral of the story is: spend a little more and not having remorse. The Pearl Izumi opened my mind to other great (and expensive) brands. The quality, design, and comfort that the more expensive brands offer is definitely worth it to me. Instead of trying to block the discomfort out of my brain, I can now concentrate on my workout!

No more pain5
I am a new biker and this is my first pair of bike shorts. I don't have anymore @ss pain after a long ride. Most of the shorts I have seen in the stores have been $60 and up. I will be buying a few more or maybe the next level up. The best thing is they are made in the USA.

ouch2
i followed the sizing chart on the page. said i should get a medium according to my waist size. they got here real quick. but they are unbearably tight in the crotch. like, "ruin your day" tight. they were cheep and i took a chance, but i think I'll be spending a little more at a bike shop or sporting goods store from now on just so i can try them on first. and I'll probably look at the baggy short style. was planning on just wearing them
