There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It is really easy to setup. I did it by myself in about 15 minutes. There really wasn't anything difficult about it. The directions are pretty straightforward, and all the parts were included. The only tool I needed was a screwdriver. Easy peesy. Only thing I wish was included were the batteries, but I bought it from Amazon used, so maybe those are included in the new product.
As for the app integration, it's pretty easy. Only one app seemed to be free, and it still has in-app purchases. So... not entirely free. But still, they are only a couple dollars each, so not a big deal. Once you have the app started, it connects to the bluetooth on the bike automatically. When it is connected, it deactivated the touch on the app, and only responds to the controls on the bike. There is maybe a half-second delay between the bike and the app, but overall, it's really good.
Now, how the bike-to-app works. I can only speak to one app (with the trucks... I'm not so good with all these kid characters lol). The main goal is to drive the truck around by pedaling and steering. Pedal forward, the truck moves forward. Pedal backwards, and it goes backwards. All the while, you have to steer to keep him moving down the path. Occasionally, side events will pop up, that somehow integrate biking into the mini game. Once the mini game is complete, you are back to driving down the paths. Also, the paths have numbers that pop up as little balloons that you kid needs to collect in order. This helps with counting and number recognition, as well as hand-eye coordination with steering the bike to the numbers.
The bike can also be used without the app, but I find my child looses interest quicker when it's not on. However, we also strive to limit screen time, so he only gets max of 30 minutes each day. But we leave the bike out all the time, so he can ride whenever he wants.
The last thing I'd like to mention is the used bike. This was the first time I've ever purchased a used item from Amazon that was still Amazon Prime. I didn't realize Amazon had started doing this, but I decided to give it a go. This is not the normal "used" sold from third party sellers, this was an actual Amazon Prime item that provided the option of purchasing new, or buying this used-very good item instead. The only thing I noticed when I got it was that the bike seemed to be covered in a light dust all over. It still had all the protective packaging, and the item itself didn't seem to have any scratches or dents. I just had to wipe it down with a wet cloth after it was assembled. It has also worked perfectly fine since I've received it, and I appreciate the fact that if it hadn't worked, it would be covered under the normal Prime return policy. So, pretty neat new feature.
Overall, I think this is a neat product. Sure, kids can just ride outside, but if you're like us, there has been a lot of snow lately, so this helps with the winter blues. And it gives the kiddo an opportunity to exercise like mom and dad. So, very cool, and highly recommended!
I tried to connect it to one of my old iPads and it would not see it at all. Tried it with one Samsung Galaxy tab and it worked very easily. The older Galaxy tab did not work. I assume that you need a newer model to connect via bluetooth. Pairing was not too much of a chore. Once connected, it remembered the device and connected every time we turned it on. The games are pretty fun and my kids love it. Not very suitable for kids over 8 (typical height and weight), but does not stop them from trying :). It is bright, light and easy to put together. Does not occupy too much floor space. Overall, it was a great purchase (paid about $75, I think) and has served us well so far. Let us see how long it lasts. By the way, I put the first set of batteries in about two months back and it is still going. So not a major drain there either. Smart idea for tech savvy kids and peace of mind for parents that want to get some of their energy out...
Another possible problem is that it lets you install the apps in freetime but you can't operate it there, because you have to enable location permissions and that's not possible on the kid profiles (at least not the one for preschool). So he has to be on an adult profile to play them on the tablet. However, the glitches aside, the games and bike are good, and I dont regret the purchase at all.
It is actually a fun learning video game type bike simulation for kids. My three year old daughter had a hard time in the cold weather peddling her bike and turning the handle bars outside. I got this hoping it could help her learn and train for that but then I watched her playing some of the games and races. There is a lot of fun spelling, and alphabet games. Also a few rhyming games. That she was actually good at and learning from.
That being said my only negative thing to say is the bike does take up space and can not be folded.
Also any of the other apps like the Nickelodeon characters are extra $$$ which I felt is a little much after buying this bike. I mean sure it’s $5 but it is per each extra app. Which could be another $30 to someone who wants to give their child all of the options. I feel that is a lot to add on top of an already large purchase.
I will end with saying my daughter loves the smart bike and I am happy with the different and fun ways she learns using it.

The best part is how solid the connection is. When a 3-4 year old can power it all up and just start using it with no instructions you know you have a good product. 10/10
The apps are brilliant and she has enjoyed learning how to spell words using the bike and also learning how to ride a bike.
A great buy and the apps were free on android compared with their fire tablet and also a better connection so would recommend an iPad or android tabled to work with it to avoid frustration with the children,
The only thing I can really say negative is that sometimes it takes a few minutes for the Bluetooth to connect but once connected it doesn’t drop and haven’t had any issues running the apps (we purchased hot wheels and blaze and the monster machines apps for this).
Very happy we purchased!
