About this item

Highlights

  • TRUSTED SCHWINN QUALITY: Trusted by parents, designed in Madison, Wisconsin. The Schwinn Piston is a BMX-style kids’ bike for teaching your little one to ride. 20-inch wheels fit riders 48 to 56 inches tall.

  • SIMPLE BRAKING: Stopping is easy with the coaster brake, just pedal backward to stop. Plus, the handbrake eases the transition to big kid bikes when they’re ready.
  • ADJUSTABLE SEAT: Tool-free adjustable seat allows the bike to grow with your child.
  • AWESOME EXTRAS: Added protection with the chainguard. Boys love the cool BMX-style number plate.

Description

Looking cool and riding with confidence is a package deal on the Piston. It features SmartStart technology: a major feat of kid-size engineering designed to outsmart physics so kids in motion stay in motion. That means kids get to focus on having a blast on their bikes. They also get a stopping option that's easy and intuitive thanks to the rear coaster brake. At the same time, a front hand-brake opens up the world of "big kid brakes." Other features include a quick-release seatpost for easy adjustment, a chainguard, and a stylish race plate to complete the look. Give your child a ride made just for them with the Piston.

Q: My grandson just turned 8. He is about 54 inches tall. Is 20" a good size for him or is 24" better. Thanks

submitted by BluMar - 9 days ago
  • A: This model is recommended for people between 42" and 54" tall. While your grandson is within this range, it may be worth considering a 24" model that he can grow with.

I want to express my personal appreciation for the achievement of this milestone. This is my son’s first official bike without training wheels and it is perfect! Being able to lower the seat and perfect reach for the pedals.

First real bike

Perfect first bike - love that it has hand and foot brakes. Great price too. A little tricky to assemble. My husband had to take it to a bike shop to finish it up.

Great bike, especially for beginners

Good solid bike, I appreciate that the middle bar is a little lower on the boys bike. Not sure why boys bikes have the higher middle bar, but for kids that are just starting to bike or learning to bike, a lowered middle frame bar is preferred so that they can easily stand and balance. Another feature that is good for beginner bikers is handbrakes instead of the pedal brakes. This bike has it all at a great price.

Love the brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love Schwinn bikes! Schwinn is a reliable brand that makes good quality products. My boys are rough on their stuff and this bike is going to be well loved. The kickstand is super helpful. My youngest loves the colors. This will get many miles!

Nice but hard to put together

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, let me say that this is a really nice bike. I got this for 7 yr old who is probably average height. It feels really safe and sturdy. It looks to be really good quality as well. What I didn’t like about it was that the instructions did not really help with what needed to be put together what I mean is that the book covered the basics of putting the bike together, but it didn’t tell you anything about the important parts-like the brakes. I had to go online and watch videos to find out even how to put the tire on because the brakes were already installed and completely in the way. More than one time some pieces flew off so that was concerning, and then there was a piece that the book doesn’t even tell you where it goes or how to install it. I could guess where I thought it went because it was more Cosmetic and not necessarily anything that would affect how you used to bike. Altogether it probably took me an hour to put the bike together, but because I had to look up things that weren’t in the book it took me around 2 1/2 hours. I’m pretty sure that they handlebars are backwards and one of the brakes doesn’t work. It is safe to ride and it is really pretty.

Easy quick set up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bike was easy to put together. It looks and feels high quality. My son used it and said it handles well. The bike feels safety designed. The colors pop really well with the black base color.

Amazing little bike.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This bike is amazing and durable. My sons 1st big boy bike without training wheels, and he LOVES IT!!! the seat is perfect for him it's comfortable and perfect height. The assembly was SO EASY. I think the only issue we had running into it was the brakes they didn't seem tight enough when in use. But my handy husband was able to figure it out. It has front brakes, rear brakes, and brakes when reversed. With so many safety brakes, my son feels confident and not scared.

Great bike

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a great bike! It is easy to assemble, rides comfortably, seems to be made well, and looks great. Goes well down trails even when having to ride over branches and roots.
