Fine bikes, but concerns about longevity.
Nice light bike, low saddle position already fits a 6-year-old and the 24" wheels allow long use of the bike. In use for over 2 months now. The rear mudguard would have benefited from a second mounting bar somewhere halfway between the frame mounting and the rear bar. Now this vibrates quite a bit on clinker roads and slightly degraded asphalt. Unfortunately, it uses a mixture of aluminium, stainless steel and steel parts cold on top of each other. That combination leads to galvanic corrosion, which accelerates the corrosion of the steel. The first traces of rust could be seen at the wing mounting holes after the first rain. So I limited expectations about the lifespan. We couldn't take the bike straight away, as everything still needed to be checked. Fine in itself, but this made me extra surprised that after cycling to school four times, all kinds of bolts had come loose. Fortunately, the wheels were still secure, but both the front and rear luggage carrier and a mudguard had loose bolts.
