Spider-Man Bike (16-Inch Wheels) Review
I bought this bike for my 4 1/2 yr old son for this coming easter. He hasn’t seen it yet ( the easter bunny will be delivering it) but I already know he will love it. the assembly was relatively easy, and didn’t require all the tools the instructions/box indicated. My only dislike thusfar is the fact that nowhere in the listing/specs/details online was it listed that this bike contains lead. It wasn’t until fedex delivered it that I saw a big warning on the package “WARNING: CONTAINS LEAD” I find it a bit disconcerting that this was not mentioned anywhere and no one had brought it up in previous reviews. We live in an old house and my son has already had elevated lead levels so it is a concern for me, I figure other parents would like to know about this as well.

Customer Reviews
Total junk – +++ – OR, United States
I bought this bike from Toys’R'Us in a box and had to return it because it was next to impossible to assemble and overall built quality was horrible. This is an example of a product produced evidently without any quality control whatsoever. The front wheel was about 3-4 mm wider than the front fork which it was supposed to fit into. There were only two ways to get it in – use brutal force and expand the fork at a risk of damaging it or assemble it incorrectly by removing the nuts which should go inside of the fork. Perhaps this is how toy stores have to do it – but in this case I would not want this bike anyway. The wheel bearing felt overtightened to the level that wheel would not spin freely, the handlebars would turn only with signficant friction and effort. I was amazed to see what kind of junk this bike is. Stay away by all means.
Excellent Beginner Bike! – D. Geyer – Renton, WA
This bike was a beginner bike for my 3-1/2 year-old for Christmas. It was easy to assemble and went together without a hitch. Assembly was very straight forward, so the instructions were really only referenced for proper assembly order. Quality seems excellent.
My son loves the bike, and of course, loves that it is “Spidy Man!” He is still in the learning stages of riding the bike, so it is not yet seeing heavy duty use. By that time, history has taught me that he will have out-grown this bike anyway and be on a larger, second one. Kids grow so fast.
A real kid pleaser – Booker – California, USA
This bike is all my daughter talked about in the weeks approaching her birthday. I don’t think anything else could have satiated my little spider man fan. The bike was easy enough for me to assemble, and is covered in Spiderman imagery. It is tough, a good size for my four year old, and easy for her to steer and break.
My only complaint is the Spiderman shield on the handlebars because it is made of very thin plastic and secured by a tie down. That cheap touch is out of place in an otherwise solid bike. It is easy to remove however and the bike loses nothing in its disposal.
