Ultra Lightweight & Made for Kids

A better fitting bike leads to faster learning, heightened confidence, & more fun. At just 30.6 lbs, this bike’s lightweight aluminum frame is easier for kids to maneuver. Its kid-centric geometry and ergonomic saddle were tailor-made just for them.

Grows With Them

This bike’s wide range of adjustable seat height, extending from just 26” up to 32.5”, can accommodate small riders and their growth spurts, so little cyclists can keep riding comfortably as their bike grows with them.

Powerful, Reliable Braking

Mechanical disc brakes offer safe and consistent stopping power in any conditions, leading to more confident riding. Easy-reach levers adjust to fit smaller hands (no tools needed!) and teach them early how to use hand brakes like those found on adult bikes.

How to measure my inseam for a bike

Your inseam can help you find the perfect sized bike (measuring it properly is similar to pant inseams but measured a little differently). Here's how they work:

Stand upright with your feet 6-8" apart.
Using a tape measure or tailor tape, measure from the bottom of your foot to the top of the inside of your leg.
Compare your inseam measurement to the standover height of the bike. You should have about an inch of space between your body and the top tube.

From someone who bought TWO Dart bikes
I purchased two of these bikes from Amazon—a 24-inch and a 20-inch. Like many reviews on Retrospec’s website mention, you can adjust the seat but not the handlebars. While I do wish the handlebars were adjustable, my kids haven’t been bothered by their height since we adjusted their seats.
Assembly was another common topic in reviews. For us, it wasn’t too difficult because my husband has prior experience and owns bike tools. However, for someone without experience, it could require extra costs to have a bike shop handle assembly and tuning. Both bikes arrived with the front brakes too tight, causing them to rub against the tires when not in use. This possible extra cost of needing to go to a bike shop took away a star. The price point is only as good as your ownership of bike tools and experience with bike assembly and tune up.
Customer service, though, was excellent. Our 24-inch bike arrived with flat tires, and Zak from customer service quickly responded to our email. He shipped replacement tubes within just two days—fantastic turnaround time!
Overall, these bikes are a great choice: solid quality, Shimano gears, hand brakes, sleek design, and a reasonable price point. Thanks to the quality and great customer service, we also bought the Cub 2 balance bike for our youngest, which has great reviews as well. We’re now considering their Beaumont City bike for myself. Retrospec’s customer service and honest reviews make them a brand we trust!

Overall great bike
Overall a great bike. The front wheel was not 100% true when I took it out of the box and my son can't seem to get it into first gear. Will tighten the spokes and adjust the derailer and will hopefully be good to go.

Pretty good for the price.
Overall I have been pleased with the purchase. Other kids bikes I was looking at were almost double the price, or more! The biggest thing I noticed setting the bike up was that the front bearing nuts were way too tight so the front wheel did not spin freely. I’ve worked on bikes for years so have the tools and knowledge to readjust but someone without these tools would not be able to do it with the free tools included with the bike.
