Our verdict

Suits a buyer whose child falls inside the 37 to 45 inch range the table lists and who wants a 16-inch bike with its weight and size details set out in a table and the brakes named on the page. Look elsewhere if you need every color in stock or a clear statement on training wheels. The main caveat is that all figures are the store's own, with no independent weighing or measuring.

Why 3.3/5: Lifted by a specification table covering wheel size, frame, rider height and weight, whose rider height the feature text repeats; held back by the store's thin independent record and the lack of an independent test of this particular bike.

Sold by Hycline under the Ecarpat name at $119.99, this 16-inch bike pairs 16x2.35 tires with a carbon steel frame, according to its table. The table lists a rider height of 37 to 45 inches, a weight of 25.36 lb and a max load of 100 lb, and the page gives ages 4 - 8. The brakes it names are a coaster foot brake and a V-brake, with an enclosed chain guard, and the table puts assembly completion at 85%.

Options and pricing

The page shows three variants at $119.99 in Orange, Black and Pink, with a single 16-inch size option. Only two of the three were in stock when the page was read. $143.99 is shown crossed out next to the current price. Assembly is put at 85% done, and the page says the buyer still fits the handlebar, saddle, front wheel, pedals and training wheels, using the manual and tools it mentions.

How it compares

Priced between the Ecarpat Candami 14-Inch Kids' Bike at $109.99 and the Ecarpat Runster 14-Inch Kids' Bike at $139.99, this model has larger wheels than both, 16x2.35 against 14x2.35 and 14.00. Its listed weight of 25.36 lb is also higher than both, against 20.29 and 24.00, and all three list a carbon steel frame. The ChopShip 12-Inch Baby Balance Bike is listed at $79.99.

Shipping, returns and warranty

Shipping: the shipping policy covers the continental US only and says the store does not ship outside the United States (the About page mentions DHL and USPS for orders outside the US), yet its table lists a Hawaii and Alaska rate of $25.99 under a heading that excludes both. General-size items ship free over $99.99 (Standard, 4 to 6 days) or for $5.99 below that, with Expedited at $7.99 and 3rd Day at $12.99; bikes and suspension forks count as oversized and ship Standard in 7 to 15 days for $29.99, so a bike's free-shipping banner does not remove that charge. Orders leave within 1 business day with a tracking number, delivery needs a signature, and damage must be noted on the delivery receipt and reported within 24 hours with photos and video; product pages say the order comes from the nearest of 7 US warehouses, and the About page gives a Stockton, California address. Returns: the refund policy gives 30 days for new, unused items in original packaging, with photos sent first to get a return label; for a change of mind the buyer pays return shipping (the About page calls 30-day returns free), while a defective item can be returned within 30 days without restocking or return fees, and after that the policy offers help with manufacturer warranty support. The refund is processed within 48 hours of approval in the policy and within 24 working hours of the warehouse receiving the item in the FAQ. Warranty: the Terms of Service hold only an as-is disclaimer and are governed by the laws of China; the one-year figure comes from the product pages (a 'Manufacturer Warranty' row on most bike pages and a '1-year warranty' line under the buy box), and no page says what it covers or how to claim.

Before you buy

The page shows no customer reviews of this bike; the store's own review page lists 3,669 reviews, and 23 of the 25 it displays are about tires or tubes. Reputation: on Trustpilot (read on the Australian site) hyclinebike.com is an unclaimed profile with one review, five stars from April 2023 about 700c tires, and nothing newer. The store's review page shows 4.66 stars from 3,669 reviews through a Judge.me widget that we could not verify. The registry shows hyclinebike.com registered on 2 November 2022, while the About page says the site opened in 2019 and the company grew from a repair shop and a tire factory; it gives a Stockton, California address, and the Terms are governed by the laws of China. Web searches on 22 October 2026 found no independent review of the store's complete bikes. The review shows the code FACESTORE. A cart test on 22 October 2026, made without the affiliate link, took 5% off bikes, a trike and parts; if the discount line is missing from your cart, enter FACESTORE at checkout. The page shows a crossed-out regular price; that is the store's own comparison figure.

What we liked

  • The table spells out tires 16x2.35, frame size 15.3x13.7, rider height 37 to 45 inches, weight 25.36 lb and a 100 lb max load
  • The feature text gives the same 37 to 45 inch rider height as the table, so the page agrees with itself on this figure
  • The feature text and the table both give the tire size as 16x2.35
  • Larger 16x2.35 wheels than the two 14-inch Ecarpat kids' bikes compared, at a price between theirs
  • The page lists the parts left to assemble and says a manual and tools come with the bike

Worth noting

  • Only two of the three variants were in stock when the page was read
  • The page does not say whether training wheels are included: one line ties them to 12 inch bikes, while another lists them as parts to fit on this 16-inch model
  • The page calls the frame lightweight, yet its 25.36 lb is above the 20.29 and 24.00 lb listed for the other two Ecarpat kids' bikes compared here
  • The listing names no brand for the brakes or tires and gives no source for its claims of sturdy tires and reliable brakes

Questions before you buy

What rider height range does the page give for the 16-inch?

Both the table and the feature text give 37 to 45 inches, with 95-115 cm beside it in the text. The page also lists ages 4 - 8 years old.

How heavy is it, and what load does the page list?

The table lists a product weight of 25.36 lb and a max load of 100 lb. These are the store's figures, and the page does not say how they were measured.

Are training wheels included?

The page is not clear. One line says training wheels come with 12 inch bikes, yet the assembly line names them among the parts to fit here.

Where does Hycline ship, and what does a bike cost to ship?

The policy covers the continental US only (Hawaii and Alaska are listed at $25.99 in one table but excluded in its heading). Bikes and suspension forks are oversized: Standard shipping takes 7 to 15 days after handling and costs $29.99, even though the page banner offers free shipping over $99. Orders ship within 1 business day with tracking and a signature at delivery.

What is the return window?

30 days for new, unused items in original packaging, after sending photos and receiving a return label. You pay return shipping for a change of mind (the About page calls returns free); a defective item has no restocking or return fee. Many bike pages show 'Returnable 90-Day' in their spec tables, which the policy does not repeat.

Does the bike have a warranty?

Most bike pages list a 1-year manufacturer warranty, and the buy-box blurb says '1-year warranty', but the Terms of Service and the policies name no warranty period, coverage or claim process. Ask [email protected] for the terms in writing before ordering.

Independent

What we couldn’t verify

  • Training wheels: one feature line ties them to 12 inch bikes while the assembly line lists them among the parts to fit on this 16-inch bike, so inclusion is not settled.
  • The page calls the frame lightweight and the brakes reliable but names no brand and gives no source or test for either claim; its table weight is 25.36 lb.
  • The About page calls 30-day returns free, while the return policy makes buyers pay return shipping for a change of mind.
  • The store's terms and policies name no warranty period or coverage; the 1-year figure appears only on product pages.
  • The shipping policy treats bikes as oversized at a flat $29.99 (Standard, 7 to 15 days) while the buy-box blurb says free shipping over $99; the policy also lists a Hawaii and Alaska rate while excluding both.
  • No independent test or customer review of this model was found in web searches made on 22 October 2026, and the page's own copy is the only source for its figures.
  • Some options showed as out of stock when the page was read on 22 October 2026.
