HH HILANDHiland 20 Inch Kids Mountain Bike for Boys, Girls, Single Speed Kids Bicycles with Dual Handbrakes and Kickstand, Multiple Colors

My grandson loves the Bike.

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!!!!!

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.

This bike was poorly made. I purchased the first time and after putting together realized both wheels (not tires) were warped. This made it impossible to ride because 1) the bike would wobble and 2) the brakes would rub on half the wheel and then not touch when braking on the other half of the wheel.I returned the bike and requested a replacement. The replacement arrived within a week and the wheel problem was correct. I put the bike together and upon airing up the tires realized the back had a leak. I ordered an inner tube for it and replaced it. I pumped up the tire. Immediately the tire had a leak again. I compared the two leaking inner tubes and the leak was in the same place. I removed the tire from the wheel to inspect and discovered that several of the wheel spokes, which are attached to the inner side of the wheel (where the inner tube rests between the wheel and tire) were jagged and sharp, which was puncturing the tube when inflated.Extremely poor quality and unsafe for a child. You’re better off buying an $80 bike at Walmart.

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.

The media could not be loaded. 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.

Arrived on time in new condition
