Our verdict
A fit for parents or guardians who want a 20-inch fat-tire bike at $299.99 and whose rider falls inside the page's 4.2'-5.6' range. Look elsewhere if you need a listed weight, a stated fork travel or brake brand, or any source for the Shimano and steel-frame claims. The main caveat is the missing weight: the page lists none, and no independent test was found for its other figures.
- Best for
- Buyers who want a 20-inch fat-tire youth bike for a rider inside the page's 4.2'-5.6' height range.
- Skip if
- You need a listed weight, a stated fork travel or brake brand, or a source for the Shimano claim.
Why 3.1/5: Lifted slightly by the basics the page does give: wheel size, rider height, frame material and brake style. Held back by a thin description with no weight, by the store's own pages disagreeing on some terms, and by the absence of any independent test and of almost any outside record of the store.
Hycline sells the Joycycle under the Ecarpat name as a 20-inch youth fat bike, listed at $299.99. The table gives 20x4.0 tires, a High Carbon Steel frame, front suspension, mechanical disc brakes and what the page calls Shimano 7-Speed gearing. It lists a rider height of 4.2'-5.6' and an age range of 8-16 years old, but no weight.

Options and pricing
The page offers two variants, Red and Green, both priced at $299.99 and sold in one 20x4 size, and both were listed as available. A crossed-out price of $319.99 appears beside the current one. The table lists an adjustable saddle among its special features, and the page does not say what else comes with the bike.
How it compares
The Ecarpat Elecony 24-Inch Fat Tire Bike is listed at $349.99 with a weight of 44.5 lbs, while the Joycycle costs $299.99 and lists no weight. The Hercules 24-Inch Fat Tire Bike is $399.99 with 24 X 3.0 tires and a 7-speed twist shifter; the Joycycle has smaller 20-inch wheels with wider 20x4.0 tires and the lowest price of the three.
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 states both a rider height (4.2'-5.6') and an age range (8-16 years old).
- Fat 20x4.0 tires, front suspension and an adjustable saddle are listed.
- Gearing (Shimano 7-Speed) and brake style (mechanical disc) are both named in the table.
- Red and Green were both showing as in stock.
Worth noting
- No weight is given anywhere on the page.
- The page names no fork travel, frame size, or brake and tire brands.
- The rider height is written as 4.2'-5.6' with no note on whether the decimals mean feet or feet and inches.
Questions before you buy
What rider height does the Joycycle list?
The table lists a rider height of 4.2'-5.6' and an age range of 8-16 years old. The page does not say whether the decimals mean feet or feet and inches, so confirm the figure with the store.
What is the frame made of?
The table lists High Carbon Steel, and the page text calls it a steel frame. The page gives no weight, no frame size and no source for the material claim.
How many gears and what brakes does it list?
The table lists Shimano 7-Speed gearing and Mechanical Disc Brakes, and the text mentions a dual disc brake system. It lists front suspension but gives no fork travel or brake brand.
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.

What we couldn’t verify
- The page gives no weight, frame size, fork travel, or brake and tire brands.
- The Shimano 7-speed gearing, the steel frame and the page's claim of top-rated features for beginner riders rest on the store's word alone.
- The 4.2'-5.6' rider height and the 8-16 years old age range come from the page alone, the page does not explain how the height is written, and its text speaks of young children learning to ride.
- 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.
