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!

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Schwinn Firehawk. In summary, this is what cyclists think. Updated May 22, 2026 by Rachel Rushing.

5 reasons to buy

The Schwinn Firehawk comes in two sizes: 16” and 20”. The 16” bike has removable training wheels.
Most buyers say assembly is straightforward.
The seat and handlebar heights are adjustable.
A partial chain guard helps prevent snagged clothing.
The Firehawk’s frame is covered by a lifetime warranty.

4 reasons not to buy

At a claimed 23.1 and 32.9lb, this bike is heavy.
Several owners report component failures, including broken chains, detached pedals, and loose bottom brackets, within a few days of use.
Multiple buyers receive damaged bikes.
Some buyers say assembly requires readjusting overly tight brakes, crank arms, and pedals.

Bottom line

The Schwinn Firehawk is a kids' bike available in 16" and 20" sizes for kids from 38" to 60" tall. The 16" version includes removable training wheels. The height-adjustable seat and handlebars allow kids to grow with the bike. Buyers praise the easy assembly, but missing or damaged parts on arrival make it difficult for some. Owners also report premature component failures. The high weight and single color choice are other potential turn-offs. While the Firehawk is appealing for its price, owners doubt the long-term durability, making it a risky purchase.
