Practice cool tricks on the Mongoose Boys’ Motivator 20 in Bike. Built with a lightweight freestyle frame, this Bike lets you perform tricks with ease, while the 20-inch wheels and 48-spoke alloy rims deliver a smooth ride whether you’re on the street or at the skate park. The caliper and V-brakes ensure reliable stopping power, and the padded seat provides a comfortable place to rest in-between rides. Every single feature on the bike was created with kids in mind, from the contact points and reflective, slip-resistant pedals to the saddle and grips made for little hands. The vario stem and seat height are both adjustable as kids grow to provide an optimal fit, and the high-quality tires offer a smooth ride with plenty of traction to tackle the pavement, dirt or off-road riding.
Tighten with yer allen wrench, but not too tight, this is China plastic we are dealing with. And I don’t want the lead to leak out of the plastic if I break it. I’ve got to get the handlebars aligned with the front tire/forks now. I usually sit on the seat, squint and use one eye to size it up.
Take away all that stuff and they are two 16” bikes with training wheels. Kids will love the bright frame colours with matching accessories, including a face plate, chain guard and rear mudguard. It’s super easy to ride with a lightweight aluminium frame, and both a rear foot brake and hand brake. From the short-reach, tool-less adjustable mongoose mountain bike brake levers to the narrower-diameter grips, every detail of this two-wheeler was made to be perfectly proportional for your young rider. The Jett is highly adjustable, including the handlebars, 2-hole position cranks and longer seat tubes that allow kids to find the optimal pedaling position for them as they get bigger.
Hand tight, then it has a hole you can run a screwdriver through to tighten it up. Not sure how many Dork Manuals a four-year-old will be doing on a bike with training wheels, but you never know.

Choosing a color or design is a matter of personal preference when picking a bike for your child, though many safety experts suggest bright hues to keep kids visible when they’re venturing off. This is a bigger concern for smaller bikes in the 12-inches and 16-inches size ranges, though it proves useful for all ages and stages.
Once they get going, easy-to-pull (for even the tiniest hands) brake levers make stopping on the dime a cinch. Off-roading is no challenge for the Gecko either, in case you have a mini daredevil on your hands. BMX enthusiasts and aspiring cyclists will appreciate the bike’s sporty design, as well as all the bold color options to choose from.
While the bike ships with a coaster brake, a freewheel kit (preferred by experts) is available at no extra charge. When you’re ready to size up, send your Gecko back for a $70 trade-in mongoose bmx rebate and they’ll spruce up your old bike and gift it to someone in need. The bike itself is easy to assemble and even easier to adjust for when those big growth spurts hit.
Not only is it really lightweight, allowing him to go further and faster, but the crank length and distance between the pedals are ergonomically adapted to fit his little body so riding feels really natural. What really makes it the best bike for kids though is all the exciting Paw Patrol-themed features, including a front handlebar plate, laser-printed seat, chain guard and wheel covers. Little ones can pick a colorful bike in their favorite Paw Patrol character or opt for one that has them all (over it). Our kids’ bike size chart will help you determine the correct size bicycle that your child needs. The 20×3″ and 24×3″ tires make a lot of sense for kids just learning to ride rougher terrain.
