Bottom line
The Jett Single Speed is a simple bike for young riders. Parents confirm that kids really enjoy riding the Jett, in both 16” and 20” sizes. Some say the 16” version is "the best bike", for 4-5 year-olds graduating from a balance bike. Unlike many 16" bikes, the Jett is equipped with front and rear hand brakes. Components on the Jett Single Speed are all sized specifically for kids and with adjustability in mind. This includes the bike’s grips, saddle, seatpost and brake reach. The lack of gears on the 20" Jett could limit older and more advanced riders to flatter elevations. This is a bike that take’s young riders seriously, but which may ask a higher price for that privilege (outside of sales).Expert Reviews
