Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Bottom line

The Joystar Angel is a kids' bike available in six sizes and four colors. Children love the "cute" style, and the sizing is detailed and accurate. Many bikes arrive damaged, with parts missing, or with signs of prior use. Smaller kids struggle with the high weight. Overtightened bearings, bent chainrings, and out-of-true wheels make pedaling difficult. Assembly is easy for most, but others struggle because the instructions are incomplete or missing altogether. In the end, the clear lack of quality control and likelihood of receiving a damaged bike make Joystar's Angel a risky buy.
