Buy Schwalbe Delta Cruiser HS 392 Bicycle Tire (26x1 3/8, SBC Wire

First off, the picture makes these tires look white but they are in fact cream, a warm off white that looks very natural. These tires have excellent flat protection and roll quite well. I don't like the aesthetics of the directional tread, logo printing or reflective sidewall. Since this tire is primarily a vintage application in this size (and especially in this color), it would be nice to classic looks. But overall, a great tire and a great price.

I put these on my 1972 Raleigh cruiser. Love the tires. Easy to get on and off, and have held up great so far. I've been riding them in the rain and they have great traction. They also have a very nice, classic aesthetic.

I purchased this item for my 2 year old's birthday. Unfortunately he is not quite big enough to reach the pedals, but his older brother (almost 4) loves it. He is zipping around the driveway and we even put out pieces of plywood for 'jumps'. He has used it all summer with zero problems.

I read the complaints about the durability and was concerned about purchasing the big wheel, but there is not alternative product out there in the same price range. I decided to go for it and I'm glad I did. Make no mistake assembly is a pain. Everything went smooth except getting the pedals on. I ended up taking it into my shop and bracing it on my work bench while I tapped the pedal into position with a hammer. I was worried about breaking the plastic with the hammer, but using extra caution I was able to get the pedal COMPLETELY into place. I suspect that anyone who had problems with the pedals falling off only got the pedal on partway. It took 10-15 minutes to get these pedals on and I couldn't pull them off if I tried.

If you're looking at the big wheel for your little one, I say go for it. Instructions should say 'patience required', but take a deep breath, do it right the first time, and then sit back and enjoy watching your kids have a blast zipping up and down the driveway.

The is a classic toy. I remember mine as a kid, and recently bought one for my two year old daughter. While assembling it Christmas Eve, I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the parts that are included to put the bike together. Two flimsy "cap nuts" are supposed to be hammered onto the end of the rear axle to hold the tires on. These simply keep falling off, along with the wheels. Real fun. Also, the pedals are supposed to be hammered on and held in place with "lock washers". One of the washers snapped and so the pedal fall offs too. The manufacturer could easily throw a couple extra of these fragile parts in the box--especially when the design is so poor.

I also was a owner of the original big wheel and bought two of these for my grandchildren. They are of poor quality--nothing like the original and they do not hold up for little rough boys. I had two sons and they did everything possible to the original and it just kept rolling---NOT so with this one

We bought a similar big wheel (same manufacturer) for my 3 year old and he had an issue with the pedal length. We solved by just sliding the seat forward and drilling our own hole and have had no problems since.

Our biggest complaint is the durability of the front wheel. The pedal axle has a rectangular block that engages the "big wheel" and that keeps popping out. This is very frustrating because I recall wearing holes in the plastic tires as a kid.

We have had about 3 months of fairly good use which is not really what I expected. I would not suggest a this toy. We, as consumers, need to be less concerned with how inexpensive something is and more concerned with quality.

The quality of this toy does not make the grade.

My son got this for his 3rd birthday. He received it as a gift already assembled. The pedal fell off within 15 minutes. We tried using a hammer to pound it back on, but no matter what we did it wouldn't stay on. Called customer service and left a message on their machine. Just when we were thinking they were never going to return our call, a package arrived with 2 new pedals. We haven't even put the new pedals on yet, because at 39" tall, my son still can't reach the pedals enough to really ride it. Instead of saying age 3 and up, I wish they would list a recommended height in the info section.

Police Balance Bike Review

Our oldest son, 3 yrs old has used a different balance bike in the past. We are giving that one to his younger brother for various reasons, and got him the smart balance bike. We got it, put it together and were VERY happy with the height as we have a tall 3 year old, and this will get him through the next year or two of growth spurts. He is only on the second lowest level.

What I am not pleased about is the seat. Its too wide for little legs. He said it hurt him, and stopped riding his bike. So, I had to take the whole bike seat apart, take off the seat padding, and have a woodworker friend of mine cut it down to an appropriate size using his old bike seat as a pattern. Really not happy that after I spent good money on a bike that I thought would work, I had to spend additional time/ effort/ money to "fix" the thing.

This is the second Smart Gear balance bike I've purchased. The first one I bought for my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter who is now 4 years old. Although she received a pedal bike this past Christmas with training wheels, it's collecting dust in the garage because she prefers her balance bike. So almost two years later, with the bike being dropped more often than not when she gets off it, it's still in great shape. I particularly like the cutout in the frame which makes carrying it easy when the little one is done riding. It's lightweight and portable. That being said, my 18 month old grandson loves his sister's bike, so I just bought him the Police Style version. He's thrilled to pieces. Although his little legs just about touch the floor, he already is balancing as we take turns bending over and guiding the bike. It won't be long before he joins his sister. I can't recommend this type of bike enough and particularly this brand. The value alone makes it a perfect choice and the quality is there to last a long time. I would definitely recommend this bike for all toddlers.

we purchased the police bike mostly because it was less expensive than the classic style smart gear balance bike. We already had one classic style and our twin boys were both enjoying the classic so much we wanted to get another. The police style sits more forward and is not ergonomic--it does not sit like a bike. My one son found it to be painful (in his inner thighs) and complained. We returned it and now waiting for another classic style.

Honest reviews on Police Balance Bike

Bought this bike for my almost 4 yr old for Christmas and he loves it! From only 6 months of using it he is now able to use his other bike without the training wheels because of his improved balance. He still prefers to use the balance bike when we go out though

This bike is ideal because of the pneumatic wheels and the adjustable seat but is simple and the police design is great

Highly recommended!

My 4yr old son has been using this bike since he was 2.6 yrs old. He absolutely loves it! It's height adjustable which we liked and he was able to glide within two days of using it. My only problem was that since he is a tough little boy and kept using the garage door to stop himself it broke kind of quickly. But we fixed it and away he went! For the money I say it was worth it!
