Will this bike be too big for a 7 year old boy who is about 48" tall?

No. The seat can be lowered very low in comparison to the wheels. My son was riding it from when he was 4 admittedly it was a struggle for him when he stopped. He is now 5 and very comfortable on it with the seat still in it's lowest position. If you are looking for years of riding from it for your 7 year old you may want to try a similar style bike with 24 inch wheels - a Diamondback 2013 youth octane bike for example.

This bike has a 12" inch frame. My 9 year old daughter who is 4'7" can ride this bike perfectly.

I didn't measure the height.My son is almost 4yrs and the 12'' bike is small for him.

I bought this bike for my husband. He is 5'7" and he likes it. Not too tall for him

I bought this for my grandson for his 4th birthday in June and he gets on and off just fine. I don't have the bike at my home but the cross bar is not much higher than the top of the tires as you will see in the picture. I think its a perfect fit for a 4 to 6 or 7 year old unless he's going to be a basketball player! My grandson has a lot of fun on his bike. I think yours will too. This is a very nice bike and very easy to put together. I'll post a pic on the site if I can of Paul with his birthday bike.

I'm 5'7". The frame on this bike is approx. a 16" frame, which is perfect for me. It may be a bit too small for you. For your size I would suggest a bike with a larger frame, say a 19" or so. While the handle bars are adjustable, and the seat is adjustable, the frame would seem very small to you I think.

This bike fits my tall 7 year old and 9 year old with a bit of room to grow. Would be small for a 13 year old

The bike is short to the ground - we purchased for my son for his 3rd birthday and it does help for it to be low to the ground as the feet have to do all the work. There is a big difference between the 12" to 16" but the 16" will definitely last him longer. My son is in 3T clothing and the 12" bike is a good size for him. If your grandson is bigger - I would probably look at the bigger bike that he will grow into?

Hey Christine. How tall? I'd say if he's over 5'0 then you'd want something bigger to allow some growing room. Otherwise this will be a good bike.

Yes I think so. My son is 6' and the seat slides back quite a ways for him. It also has was weight limit over 300, so you should be good. I love my bike! The handlebar can be adjusted in front as well.

I bought it for my tall 7 year old daughter. She loves it and it's a good size bike for her. One she'll be able to use for several years.

My son used this bike when he turned 5; he was a few inches shy of 44" and it was great.

I wouldn't think so, my 4.5 year old daughter has this bike and is 40 inches tall and has to use it on the lowest setting and it's still a little big for her.

We have a 6 year old son who is 49" tall and he is riding a 16" bike and it works well for him but is a tad bit on the small size. This bike is too big. We got it for our 8 year old son who is 4' 8" and it's just right for him. A quick Google search on "kids bike size chart" will yield all the information you need. Many of the charts suggest you go by inseam instead of/in addition to height.

My grandson is a tall 7 year old, 52" tall and if anything it is just a LITTLE big for him but he has no problem riding it. Hope this helps.

Strider bikes have a 12" wheel size. Move to a 16" or even 18". My almost 7y (51") is getting this for his 7th birthday as the 16" is just not getting small. He was 44-45" when he turned 4y. If it's too big, they won't be able to ride it.

The bike did not come assembled, but it was not to hard to assemble it. My son just turned five and we had a 12" bike previously. He was a little nervous the first couple times on it, but now loves the bike. In my opinion a great size, he tried some 20" bike in stores but they we all to big for him. This bike fits him good know (maybe a little on the big side), but will last him another couple years at least before we have to upgrade to a larger bike.
