In addition to putting the wheels to the ground, I took careful consideration of the bikes’ construction and how easy they were to assemble, as well as how they arrived, how they were packaged, and whether they were missing any components.

The minimum seat height on the REV 16 is 20.5 inches and its maximum is 25 inches. This is 2 inches higher than the comparably set up and equipped Trek Precaliber, meaning kids with an inseam shorter than 21 inches will have a tough time on this bike—if that’s the case, consider the Trek. This beautiful little mountain bike features a really strong but still lightweight steel frame (the whole bike weighs 16.6 pounds), powerful linear-pull brakes, and a marginally lower price than the Prevelo or Woom.

However, according to a March 2020 recall on the larger versions of this bike—the Woom model 4, 5, and 6 bicycles—the bolt that holds the front wheel on its fork can become loose and cause the wheel to unexpectedly detach from the bike. We also liked the bike’s gearing, which performed well on moderate hills and allowed for good acceleration. The paint job, welds, and componentry—from headset to alloy wheelset—are top-notch, as are REI’s customer support, warranties, and return policies. After spending 30 hours evaluating 13 pedal bikes on pavement, dirt, and grassy hills, we’re judging the REI Co-op Cycles REV 16 Kids’ Bike as the best first pedal bike for most kids. Woom is recalling all of its Woom 3 pedal bikes (our upgrade pick) made between 2018 to 2021 for a problem with the handlebar stem.

Actual weight of the Genesis V2100 is in the pound range, depending on the accuracy of your scale. It wouldn’t be too much work to bring that down a bit by swapping the heavy steel riser bar for an aluminum one. genesis bicycles Of course, any weight savings from the bar swap would be offset when it comes time to replace the pedals (after about two rides or less), as they seem to have earned a reputation as the cheapest pedals ever.

We employed two of our friends’ sons—ages 6 and (a very short) 7—to help us test our tester bikes, along with a 5-year-old who had just learned to ride a pedal bike and gave us a good sense of what works for an early stage pedaler. The kids tried out the bikes along the winding streets of their suburban Charleston neighborhoods. My 8-year-old son and his neighborhood buddies (ages 6 to 8) were also naturally drawn to the bikes as they went from box to assembly, beckoning like little alloy sirens.

The GV60 comes with powertrain coverage for up to 10 years or 100,000 miles and complimentary scheduled maintenance for three years or 36,000 miles. The Jaguar I-Pace offers similar bumper-to-bumper coverage and longer complimentary maintenance, but that car’s powertrain policy is nearly half the length provided by Genesis. The Genesis II range also includes optional iGrill 3 Weber thermometer compatibility, which allows wireless heat monitoring from up to 30 feet away. Set an alarm for your desired temperature, and you’ll be notified when the grill gets within 10 degrees of the target, removing the need to hover over the flames while the party carries on elsewhere. What’s more, you can also measure the temperature of the ingredients as they cook, helping to ensure perfectly tender results every time.

Since then, Genesis has gone from strength to strength, producing some of the UK’s best loved bikes for all occasions, and has been the bike supplier and title sponsor of the Madison Genesis road racing team since 2013. At Genesis we have a history of doing things our own way, whether that’s making bikes we want to ride, or heading in a direction that might seem a little crazy at the time. It’s who we are and we embrace that as we share our latest range.
