Huffy Pop Star AMP Bike, Red/White, 20-Inch Review
See more picture
The bike is very good, given the price. My daughter (9 years) loves it, which is just about the right size. With a little adjustment, she can certain ride it for a couple of years until she is ready for a 24inch. The assembling process was largely fine. Like other reviewers said, attaching the hand brake cable takes a little figuring out because the instruction is basically useless. You'd need to loose the screw at the wheel end so that you can extract the cable at the other end long enough to insert into the handle base. Then you need to adjust the length before you can re-tighten the screw to secure the cable in place. There was a major problem when I tried to assemble mine, which could be unique. For the most part, everything was fine, until the very last step, the left paddle. I installed the right paddle without a problem, simply twist it in with a wrench. On the other side, for some reason, the direction of the twist was reversed. Typically, you twist clock-wise to install, and counter-clock-wise to uninstall. But for the left side paddle, I later learned that you need to twist counter-clock-wise to install. Since I had just installed the right side, so I naturally presumed that I'd simply do the same. What a surprise! I almost broke my arm trying to install the damn thing until finally I was desperate enough to try the other direction, which I was so certain won't work. It worked! It's really beyond me why in the hell the two paddles came in like that. Oh well, maybe my case is unique, or it was supposed to be like that.

An ideal transitional bike for girls, the Pop Star 20-inch bike from Huffy takes your music fanhood to the next level. That's because the Pop Star comes with its very own A.M.P., otherwise known as an Amplified Music Player. The A.M.P. works by connecting to your MP3 player, letting you play your favorite music out loud while you cruise down the street. It's a great way to have fun, attract attention, and keep yourself entertained. Plus, the bike comes with a handlebar bag to hold the A.M.P. and MP3 player, making it safe for use while riding. Of course, the Huffy Pop Star also excels from a traditional riding perspective, with such features as a steel Y-frame, a steel unicrown fork, front and rear caliper brakes, rear coaster brakes, steel rims, and a padded seat with graphics. The bike is a great choice for girls who love to ride on trails, or who aren't quite ready to upgrade to a full-size women's bike.

My girls love their bikes. They're very fashionable and easy to ride. I would defintely buy them again, especially since they weren't too difficult to assemble.
