Giant Bicycles on the Lil’ Giant Review

While back my wife and I were looking for a tricycle for our son t ride. We looked and looked and finally after a lot of thought landed on the Lil’ Giant. The local bike shop had two and one was used but in near new condition, it was not as nice as the nice German bikes, but a whole lot cheaper and appeared to be a lot better construction than the cheap ones around. Well we wanted one with a handle, to help with steering, breaking, and pushing. The bike seems great, the handle on the back is not. It’s aluminum tubing. While its lightness is great, the strength of the tubing and the weld is negligible. We have had two break off under normal use now. Don’t expect to have something that will withstand enormous stress, but I do expect to have something that will not continually break. The problem is that there are two straps underneath the bike and the aluminum is merely welded in a simple weld to it. Twice the soft aluminum tubing has broken off of this through simple use. It would be much better to put the aluminum post into a much stronger receiver than simple weld. But then no one has asked me, nor can I even really complain to the company. I was looking online at there website and there was no contact information. Since they care so little of giving me excellent customer service, the chances of me giving them any more business is nil. Zero, nada, none.

The interesting thing is that while I was looking this up online I ran across a description that said it will make a great heirloom, the bike might the handle will serve a different purpose.
