JOYSTAR 20″ 24″ 26″ Beach Cruiser Bike for Girls, Boys, Mens and Womens, Single Speed Kids Cruiser Bikes with Coaster Brake, Multiple Colors

The bike looks amazing on Amazon’s website. The reviews are great. I ordered this bike last year at the last minute to put it together Christmas Eve. What arrived is a cheap bike with missing bolts, bent fender bars as well as bent fenders themselves. The wheels don’t spin with the fenders attached properly. I couldn’t attach all the reflectors due to the missing bolts. The handle bars feel like cheap steel that I could bend by hand. The instructions are poor since they are so concise and more picture based.

My advice- stay clear of these kind of products on Amazon. Trust in brands that you can find locally and that will actually have a solid frame. I’ve bought cheaper bikes at Target & Walmart that feel safer than this. It was so frustrating to give my daughter an incomplete built bike for Christmas last year. When I contacted the seller about all this, they offered me a $30 credit if I bend things into working order and keep the bike. They also said they have no parts in stock to replace. How is this possible? Instead I took advantage of Amazon’s return policy during the holidays

I was first very impressed with the way the bike was packed. Very nicely wrapped, tied, braced, Not a scratch on the bike. As you know, sometimes it’s difficult to tell the quality of something from the pictures and descriptions. Let me assure you this is a nice bike. All metal fenders and chain guard. The paint is flawless.
There similar bikes available for much less money but this one is well worth what they are charging.
The instructions were general and covered a variety of bikes they sell but it was easy enough to figure out how it all went together. One caution, don’t use the “tools” they provide to put the bike together. You will only be frustrated and wind up scratching up the bike. Put them all in a small ziplock bag and tape them under the seat for use in an emergency only.
Only a small set of metric wrenches, allen wrenches, a #2 Phillips screwdriver, and maybe a pliers are needed.
A great buy.

This bike is almost awesome, and my daughter loves it. The color is great, it fits her nicely, the styling is fun/ cool/ retro-ish. The frame is of decent quality construction. The down side is that all the internal parts such as bearings, bushings, and hardware…… cheap ass Chinese shit!
I solved the problem by replacing the bearings and grease and doing a fair bit of tuning. Now the bike is pretty dang cool and like a said my daughter loves it. If you’re not up to fiddling with things, you may want to spend more on an American made product from a real bike store. You decide, for us this worked out just fine.

I was frustrated to receive it with missing pieces for my daughter’s birthday.
