Ecarpat Runster 14-Inch Kids' Bike Review

In White and Navy Blue, the Runster is a 14-inch kids' bike that Hycline sells under the Ecarpat name at $139.99. Its table gives a carbon steel frame, a weight of 24.00 lb and a rider height of 35 to 51 inches, and the page text names a V-brake and a back brake with short-reach levers. The page also mentions a bell, a basket, reflectors and removable training wheels, but its age and height ranges differ from one section to the next.

Specifications

Options and pricing

Two variants share the $139.99 price, White and Navy Blue, with a single 14-inch size option, and both were in stock when read. The page shows a crossed-out price of $169.99. It calls the bike 85% pre-assembled with included tools and instructions and puts the average assembly time at 15 minutes. Its text also describes a 16-inch bike that is not the size of this listing.

How it compares

The Ecarpat Candami 14-Inch Kids' Bike has 14x2.35 tires and is listed at $109.99, and the Ecarpat 16-Inch Kids' Bike has 16x2.35 tires at $119.99; both list a carbon steel frame, as the Runster does. At $139.99 the Runster costs more than both, with a listed weight of 24.00 lb, between the Candami's 20.29 and the 16-inch model's 25.36. Its table gives no tire width, only 14.00.

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.

Web searches on 22 October 2026 found no independent review of the store's complete bikes. The review shows the code FACESTORE.
