Black Mountain Bikes

This is our first bicycle for our son and I highly recommend this. Although it is pricey, but this bicycle will definitely hold its value without a doubt. Its a very good quality product and we are very very happy with it. The customer service from Wes and Greg at Black mountain bikes was just perfect. They dealt with all queries and made our decision so easy, and moreover, this decision to buy Skog bike is 100% the best decision we have taken. Thank you Black mountain bikes

Fantastic Pinto bike for our 3 year old which will grow with him and provide many years of cycling. The bike was delivered promptly and took only a few simple steps until it was fully assembled. We loved the eco-packaging! The bike is light enough that he has been able to start pedalling and is not far from independent cycling. Thank you!

I bought a Pinto bike for my 3 year old. It was delivered promptly and easy to put together and seems well made. My only criticism, is that I needed to adjust the brakes which was fiddly. Both front and back wheels arrived slightly bent, meaning the brake blocks rubbed on the rims. By adjusting the tension and the brake cables this was rectified. He is just big enough to ride it in balance bike mode. When I put attach the pedals, the seat is raised up by an approximately an inch so he'll need to grow an inch before using it in this mode.

Very nice bike, looks the business with a quality paint job and good looking wheels. The brake levers appear to have been designed well for small hands and don't require much pull strength to get them working. BUT! It is a bit overpriced. It is, after all, a tiny bike with no gears. The headset on my model had been over tightened and was stiff and 'lumpy', this was quite obvious and I was surprised this hadn't been picked up by the pre delivery inspection which is promoted on the packaging. Luckily I can do this myself but some people don't have the tools or wouldn't even know this was wrong. Finally on the down side, the cost of the 'mudguards' is ridiculous as they aren't even bike specific and fit in a very clumsy and imprecise fashion. If they were bike specific then maybe the cost would be justified in terms of unnecessary bling always costs more but these are plastic stamped out shapes with a couple of tie wraps. Surely these should be thrown in the box as a freebie, not thrown in the box (literally) and bent around another bit of the bike. This review is written by Granddad before the bike is delivered for Christmas. The true test will be by Penny when she rides it and progresses onto the pedal version. I will try to remember to follow up this review then as I hope to report that it is as good as it looks and then the cost will be irrelevant to me, but not to many.

We ordered my lad’s bike after reviewing many little rider bikes. Black mountain stood out as well designed and well executed. Decent materials, well thought through design and sweet colours. My boy went for the orange Skog. Bike arrived on time with great updates from a communicative team at BMB. We assembled together and sized, it was a breeze. Ten minutes post assembly and we were carving our way through the paddocks in the Surrey hills. Magic. A few months on and there is a bit of sideways action and skids to add to the fun. So well balanced. Great machine. Brilliant experience all round. Well pleased with our Orange Black Mountain!
