A great choice for teaching your youngster to ride a bike, the BMX-style 16-inch Scorcher bike from Schwinn features a grown-up look that’s great for showing off around the neighborhood. It’s outfitted with hybrid slick tires for a good grip over any surface, front pegs (just like a real BMX bike), a handlebar pad for added protection, and an enclosed chain guard to help prevent snags and dirty pants cuffs. The coaster-style brakes make stopping a breeze for new cyclists, and the Scorcher also includes both front and rear caliper brakes for advanced riders. Other features include training wheels for stability while learning and a comfortably padded BMX-style seat that’s easily adjustable. Recommended for ages 3 to 6.
