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 Lubbock kids' bike wins over buyers with its budget-friendly price. It comes in two sizes for heights from 48" to 60" and the choice of single-speed or 7-speed gearing. The high weight is difficult for kids to manage, and the reported quality control issues are troubling, but most buyers report that Joystar is willing to help. Some of the reported problems may be avoided by professional assembly. All in all, the Lubbock appears a decent low-cost kids' bike, but there's a risk of receiving a bike with damage or missing or incorrect parts.
