Bottom line
It’s important to realize that, although Rocker mini BMXs are cute and colorful, they aren’t really intended as a small child’s beginner bike. These are a niche item, intended to be used by adults and big kids for performing serious tricks. The saddle isn’t meant to be sat-on. This shetland-of-bikes is heavy because it’s meant to be thrown around. It has no brakes - and unless you can fit one - it probably isn’t suitable for your small child. That said, the Rocker iROK is great for increasing confidence in stuntwork before transferring to a heavier, full-size BMX. Owners almost universally loved hucking on these mini bikes and recommended them to anyone who loves BMX.Expert Reviews
