3.0 out of 5 stars
Very good, all apart from the one major design flaw.....,
By Uncle Max (Essex, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raleigh Planet Play Boy's Bike - 14-Inch (Sports)
First of all, the good news. This bike offers exceptional value. The build quality is, in my opinion, better than the price suggests.
However, there is a major detraction to this products design. For some reason, and i cannot work out why, this bike has been designed with an exceptionally high bottom bracket (for the non cyclists out there - this is the axle assembly for the pedal cranks). What this does is give the bike a very high centre of gravity making it fine in a straight line, but not so stable around corners. It also renders this this bike pretty much a beginners bike only - as there is no way that the floor can be reached whilst maintaining a seat height that enables any reasonable pedalling action once the stabilisers are removed. So, if the designer responsible could change the frame geometry to drop the bottom bracket by 2-3 inches this bike would be a 5 star purchase. As it is, it is flawed, and usable only for learning....

Great bike for price!!,
By Zoe (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Raleigh Planet Play Boy's Bike - 14-Inch (Sports)
We bought this bike for my son's 3rd birthday as he is tall for his age and are very pleased with it. He couldn't actually pedal a bike before we got him this but he has learned how to ride it properly within a week. It is a lovely sturdy bike and did not take long to put together at all. The only thing I would mention is that the metal arms of the stabilisers could be a little stronger, but on the whole a nice little bike and much much cheaper than in any bike shop we rang for prices.

Bought this bike for my nephew - I researched bikes everywhere !!
This one by far the cheapest (least saving - £18.00). Arrived quickly and easy to assemble. Can't beat a raleigh bike and my nephew loves it - highly recommend this one.
