For that wheel size, look second hand for byk e350 and apollo neo 16. Both are good bikes and are often available in the $100-$200 range on gumtree
Vuly BMX Bikes now $99
I might jump on this…
$35 shipping to syd metro
$45.88 shipping to me in a small town near the qld/nsw border
very affordable.
If you're waiting for your shipping confirmation, you forgot the .au on your email address!
$80 to Tassie
$47 Metro SA
.
The other post for the mini-soccer goal wasn't from an associate of Vuly.
Will it be honoured?
Yes! Very limited stock available so jump on it quickly.
I found it by accident and posted it on here
Is the $399 a massive exaggeration?
When the facebook marketing team branches out to ozbargain…
That was the RRP
It is considered deceptive and misleading advertising by the ACCC to advertise a price comparison to RRP when you do not normally sell at RRP or have not recently sold at RRP.
Single wall rims, no chromoly, unsealed ball bearings, yeah it's worth probably $100 like the sca special not long ago
Those few points saved me some time, thanks.
Can someone recommend a bike suitable for a 4+ year old? So many cheap options but quality very hard to determine in advance?
I just replied to the first comment in this thread, but byk e350 and apollo neo 16 are both good choices for a 4 year old (provided they reach the minimum height). They are lightweight with stable geometry and will make it easier for the child to ride
Thanks both I’ll check those out
No warranty on the $99 bikes. Is that even allowed in Australia?
No, that would be against Consumer Law.
Warranty ≠ Consumer Law
@jv: Disagree. If anything, Warranty < Consumer Law
A product that has no Warranty still has consumer Guarantees under Australian Law.
A product that has lasted past Warranty may still be covered by Consumer Guarantees.@ESEMCE: 'Warranty" < Consumer Law, but Express Warranties ≮ The Consumer Guarantee.
Express Warranties can be much greater than The Consumer Guarantee - express warranties are promises by the business that must be upheld, eg:
A salesperson tells a consumer that the bookshelf they are buying can hold up to 100 kilograms.
This promise is an express warranty, so the bookshelf must meet this standard.
The Consumer Guarantee, however, is quite loose - i.e. "reasonable time".
The issue I assume JV and Muzeeb are taking issue with the "no warranty" as it is against Consumer Law to state "no warranty":
Signs and statements that limit, or seem to limit, consumers’ rights are unlawful
As well as there being "Mandatory Text" that "must be available with the actual product. It is not enough to refer consumers to this information on a website or in-store."
The mandatory text for the supply of goods is:
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law.
You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage.
You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.
@Chandler: My point is that Warranty is always trumped by Consumer Law if the Warranty does not exceed the requirements of Consumer Law and very few Warranties do exceed Consumer Law in my experience.
The issue I assume JV and Muzeeb are taking issue with the "no warranty" as it is against Consumer Law(accc.gov.au) to state "no warranty":
It is not against Consumer Law to state "no Warranty". There is no legal requirement to include Warranty.
And here is where we loop back to my original comment, Warranty ≠ Consumer Law, they're entirely different beasts.
Note that they do not state "No Guarantee" as that could be interpreted to exclude Consumer Guarantees under Consumer law which would be illegal, the use of the word "Warranty" is relevant and important.
Warranty is entirely up to the manufacturer/retailer.The original link includes a section acknowledging this;
What if there is no express warranty?
And your own link explicitly states this (emphasis added)
Warranties are voluntary and are additional to consumer guarantees
Finally, the Mandatory Text is only required when selling Extended Warranties. Hence why it is in that section.
This text is not required for all goods.if the Warranty does not exceed the requirements of Consumer Law and very few Warranties do exceed Consumer Law in my experience.
True, and I emphasise your phrasing there about warranties exceeding Consumer Law which was missing in your original comment. Express warranties could exceed Consumer Law, and much like buying Extended Warranty, would make it easier to argue that your fault should be covered under warranty than trying to argue acceptable quality under the Consumer Guarantee. From the example I copied from the ACCC website, you could argue that a shelf holding a particular load would fall under acceptable quality, but that's an argument that would need to be made, whereas if the company has explicitly stated that it could hold 100kg's and it didn't, then that is a fault under their express warranty and must be upheld.
Note that they do not state "No Guarantee" as that could be interpreted to exclude Consumer Guarantees under Consumer law which would be illegal, the use of the word "Warranty" is relevant and important.
I think I agree with you now that solely stating that there is "no warranty" may not be illegal, but as you know most consumers conflate the terms and don't understand their rights. Solely stating that there is "no warranty" can make consumers think that they have no recourse if they have any issues with the product.
Finally, the Mandatory Text is only required when selling Extended Warranties. Hence why it is in that section.
This text is not required for all goods.🤦♂️
This is why you should read the whole document before quoting it. Thank you.This is why you should read the whole document before quoting it. Thank you.
Fair. I'll correct myself.
This is required text with a Warranty of any sort (and in the real world, this is exactly what you see)
Where no Warranty is provided (as a Warranty is voluntary, not mandatory), it does not appear to be required to be listed.
The intent of the mandatory text, I assume, is to prevent the wording of any Warranty from appearing to over-rule the Consumer Guarantees.This is why you should read the whole document before quoting it. Thank you.
Fair. I'll correct myself.
That comment was directed at myself, hence the facepalm emoji (🤦♂️).
@ESEMCE: Fair enough! So we were both sorta right anyway? As the mandatory text is not mandatory only if you're not offering any warranty (going by your comments).
I suppose going back to my comment, my point (whether it was worded suitably as such or not) wasn't so much about any retailer not offering warranties, but stipulating that there is no warranty**, which as I said lends the impression that you have *no recourse in the event of any faults, which is not the case: you always have the Consumer Guarantee.
Got 2 bikes and the mini soccer goal for $264 delivered.
Score
Is it accurate?
kids aged 8+ 130cm+ tallDo you have something on sale for 10 year old ?
Easy to assemble ?
I'd look elsewhere if you are after a good quality bike.
I can't comment on their bikes but I was led to believe they were a good brand (by people who have their trampolines mainly).
I ended up with one of their beach wagons and have to say the build quality is absolutely shockingly bad.
I think they should stick to trampolines, even their play equipment degrades quickly.
Can a 1.5m tall adult ride this bike?
The bottom of the page says a 20" Wheel is for a Rider Height of 114 - 132cm.yes you can.
For an adult I would suggest a full chromoly frame if it's being thrown around a bit.
Shipping 47 to Melbourne
No warranty… remember you have Consumer guarantee
Bargain. Son already has a good MTB, but this is perfect for riding to school, leaving in the rain, etc
$67.39 shipping to WA kills it.
The bikes and soccer net arrived today. The net is essentially a rectangular piece of trampoline mat with some loops stitched on. Useless on its own. The free ball and free pump that came with the net are terrible and did not work out of the box. The pump does not work and the ball will not stay inflated.
The bikes look nice and were not very hard to assemble but are not suitable for my kids 9 & 6. The bikes definitely don't seem like they are very good quality (diamond back to redline) and are built to the $99 pricetag.
The main issue my kids were having with riding them is that the seat position is not comfortable for normal riding. The bike essentially makes you stand up and pedal the whole time.
They are not hot garbage, and for the right kid wouldn't end up in landfill immediately. as a 6 foot adult, I can easily ride the bike, but I cannot sit down comfortably on it. I would suggest a 10-year-old kid, at least 125+ centimetres tall.Bargain though, I just have to find some kids who want a free bike?
Also the bikes came with pegs and a tool kit with everything you need which I didn't realise at the time
Yep I just came in from trying to build the bike up (I'm a bike enthusiast myself). Front brakes very hard to adjust properly, doesn't return to centre after cable pull. Right pedal thread not right - pedal doesn't want to screw in. The seat is indeed in strange upward pointing position with no tilt adjustment.
Definitely not worth $400, but for $99 it's ok if I can overcome these issues.
UPDATE: Found a youtube setup vid, will follow it tomorrow and see if I made any mistakes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpMGScgy1nI&t=200s
I'm waiting their 16" bike to reduce under $250 like last year. Regret that I didn't buy it :(
