This bike is perfect for ages 4-6. It's a single speed with hand and pedal break. It's a great bike to step up from a Canadian tire special before going to a bike with gears. Both my son and daughter gained confidence on this bike from ages 4-6. This bike is rated quite high, in building kids confidence. I payed $100 for the bike and $40 for the seat. Bike is in South Shawnigan area.
