My 3.5 yr Old Granddaughter Loves Her New Bike
Everything went smoothly. Communication was good and guidance with what was most suitable much appreciated. My 3.5 yr old granddaughter immediately took to riding the bike and is working on her balance skills. She loves her new jazzy pink bike!!

Great product, great service
The bike we chose for our son arrived quickly and was exactly what we wanted and expected.

Second review
I think the purchase went very well. I received advice that allowed me to make the correct choice of a balance bike for my 3-1/2 year old grandson.

Great balance bike, great service!
The bike is awesome. My 3 year old son loves it. The long wheel base and solid design make learning very easy. The service was great - very responsive to email inquiries and accommodating.

Fast friendly customer service!
Every time I emailed about the status of my bike, I had a reply within a day with a person al explanation. My bike was delayed due to COVID but the communication was great! I love how they checked my bike before sending and sent the name of the person who did it. I would absolutely buy from RSP!
