20 Inch LED Lit Commuter Bicycle with Disc Brakes and Stereo Speakers, Blue

The bike

A high carbon steel frame in blue with an LED strip down the top tube, a front suspension fork, disc brakes at both wheels, deep treaded tires and a Shimano six speed derailleur on a twist shifter.

The maker's dimensions panel

An inseam height of 31 to 36.5 inches, a suitable age of 13 years and over, a seat weight capacity of 220 lb and 85 percent pre-assembly. The bike is 58 inches long, 38 inches tall and 23 inches across the bars, with the saddle between 32 and 37 inches. The inseam band is the figure to measure against, not the age.

The light and the music

A seven mode frame light, five ambient patterns and two that follow whatever is playing through the built-in wireless stereo speakers, plus a headlight and a seven colour taillight. The maker publishes no battery type, run time or charging method for any of it.

Discs and a sprung fork

Disc brakes at both wheels and a suspension fork at the front, which is a specification you would expect on a much larger bike. Discs keep their bite in rain and on a long descent in a way rim brakes do not.

Five inches of seat post, against a published inseam band of 31 to 36.5 inches.

Front and rear discs, which the maker credits for stopping power across terrain. They work wet and they do not wear the rims.

A sprung front fork, pictured on mountain trail, city road, sand and snow.

The maker's published figure at the seat, higher than the LED bike without the fork.

Seven light modes, a headlight, a seven colour taillight and wireless stereo speakers, all built in.

The maker publishes an inseam band rather than a rider height. Measure crotch to floor and compare it with the 32 inch saddle floor.

Disc brakes are the reason this one is worth more than the version with calipers. They hold their bite in rain and do not wear out a wheel rim.

A lit frame shows from the side, which is where reflectors are weakest. It is not a substitute for a light set with a published run time.

What we stand behind

• The inseam height, saddle height, overall size, 220 lb seat capacity and 85 percent pre-assembly here are the manufacturer's own published figures.
• No helmet is included. A helmet belongs on every ride, and eight Canadian provinces have helmet legislation, three of them for riders under 18.
• This bike sits in the store's kids bike group and the group's standard line about play and learning does not describe it. The manufacturer's own suitable age for it is 13 years and over.
• The frame light, headlight and taillight are part of the bike rather than accessories. The manufacturer publishes no battery type, run time or charging method for any of them, so we state none.
• No bike weight is published for this model, so none is stated.
• No safety certification mark appears on this listing, so we claim none.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
