Huffy Glimmer Girls Bike Assembly and Review

Показать описание

This arrived in a double walled solid cardboard box with branding on the outside. Once opened everything is very well packed and protected with card and foam. You get a large pack with manuals and bike details with different manuals covering a multitude of languages and a small quick and easy assembly sheet along with two hex keys.

After unpacking everything I followed the sheet and started the assembly. The unpacking of everything takes longer than the actual assembly with everything slotting together and locking in place fairly easily. You have to make sure the handle bars lock into the front wheel section and this is then tightened by hand nice and securely. You do need a spanner to secure the seat in position and the two supplied hex keys are used to tighten the brake levers in the desired position. I used an adjustable spanner to set the height for the seat and the only other adjustment I had to do was to adjust the rear brake by loosening the bolt and moving the cable slightly so they gave good contact. You will need a pump to inflate the tyres and the stabilisers just lock into place.

Impressions once complete: everything seems really well finished and the bike has a nice bright look to it. Assembly is really straight forward as nearly everything is already attached and set in the correct position. The locking system means you only need tools to set the saddle and brake levers in position. The bike seems very sturdy with the stabilisers stopping it tipping over.

My youngest daughter is six years old and has never had a bike before, only scooters and tricycles so this was ideal for her to try out. My daughter has been out riding this every day since it arrived, and at first as you would expect she found the peddle system and brakes a bit strange to get used to but after a short time she was riding round and steering well. As the days have gone by she has greatly improved and is riding round with confidence now. The stabilisers have worked well and stopped her falling off along with getting used to the brakes and being able to stop.

Overall in my opinion this is an ideal first bike for a young child. It is very easy to assemble and I found it to be very sturdy along with looking great. Everything is set up ready to ride once you have pumped up the tyres and found a spanner to fix the seat in position. My daughter loves it and it has certainly been in my opinion an ideal first bike.
