The product, in the report: 20” Next Girls’ Girl Talk Bike in a vibrant, teal paint finish. This bicycle features a steel frame, a front caliper hand brake with a resin lever and rear coaster brake, one piece crank, single stem and decorated grips with streamers. Knobby tires offer better traction. Girls will love the stylish graphics, accents on the seat, grips and bag and the paint effect. This Next Girls’ Girl Talk bike features a deluxe bag that attaches onto the handlebars with coordinating grips and seat, and ultra shimmery streamers for that glam touch. The adjustable, quick-release seat post offers the rider a more custom fit.

Got this bike for my daughters birthday. Bought not assembled, in box, since the ones they had at the store were dirty, poorly assembled, and the front wheels seemed wobbly on all of them. I assumed they were improperly, or incompletely assembled by the store person(s). Got the box home, and sorted all the parts, prior to assembly. I noticed the front wheel felt wobbly. I assumed it would tighten up after I assembled it. After it was completely assembled, I was doing the final adjustments/fine tunings, and noticed the front wheel protruding towards the left side. The wheel bearings seemed to not be properly/completely pressed, and the front wheel forks were crooked/bent, seemingly improperly manufactured. Also, the kickstand scraped against the rear wheel’s spokes when in the folded or up position. I had to bend it outwards by hand to resolve the issue, but, it seems the metal eventually returns to its original shape, causing more scrapes.
Lastly, there were many parts missing from the box, albeit the box was completely sealed when I bought it. I assume they were omitted at the factory. I returned to the store, and quickly inspected their bikes. There was one of these models left, and it seemed to have identical issues as ours. I highly doubt our bike was a one-off misbuild. I have looked at the same bike models at other stores, and they all seemed to have the same defects. Even if a consumer assembles this bicycle model, it will still not be safe for a child to ride on. Also, I read many reviews online by other customers whom complained of the same problems. I returned her bike to the store, and received a refund. Unfortunately, she had also told her grandparents that she wanted that bike, and lo and behold when her birthday came here comes Grandpop rolling in a shiny, brand new, turquoise and pink Girl Talk bike w. a pink ribbon on the handlebars. I could see the front wheel wobbling as he approached us. My daughter graciously accepted it, but, would not ride it. We have the bike here, unridden, as its unsafe. Consumer and buyers beware.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/30/2018) Dynacraft BSC, Inc.: Dynacraft BSC, Inc. has reviewed this report, which it appreciates receiving given its concern for the safety of its products, and provides the following in response. The consumer reported various problems with the front wheel and fork on his daughter’s bike, stating that the front wheel was wobbling. The consumer reportedly returned the bike to the retailer and then experienced a problem with a second bike. Dynacraft has attempted to contact the consumer to investigate his report and address his concerns, but he has not responded. It should be noted that the consumer purchased the bike unassembled and as such was responsible for removing the partially assembled bike from the box and, among other things, attaching the front wheel and making sure that it is properly secured to the front fork. The Owners Manual supplied with the bike contains instruction on attaching the front wheel and completing other assembly and adjustment necessary in order to make the bike ready to ride. Based upon the available information, we cannot rule out as potential causes assembly error or damage sustained by the bike in transit or otherwise, after it left Dynacraft’s possession.

The product, in the report: Dynacraft NEXT boy’s bike purchased from Walmart

My family purchased a Dynacraft NEXT boy’s bike from Walmart and within 12 hours the rear tire and tube had split open. We then spent another 2 hours of our camping vacation, and more money on replacing the tube, tire, and purchasing tools to get the lug nuts off the bike tire (that required WD 40, and two tool sets because they were tightened with such force). The tire was properly inflated to the recommended PSI and the bike was supposedly “checked” by Walmart personnel before we left the store. We have receipts for all items purchased, and kept the busted tube and tire. This is simply unacceptable quality; we shouldn’t spend nearly as much on repairing a day-old bike as we spent on the bike itself. Luckily my stepson only suffered minor scrapes after the tire blew.
I have reported this to the company (11 days ago) and have heard nothing back from them.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/28/2015) Dynacraft BSC, Inc.: Dynacraft BSC, Inc. has reviewed this report, which it appreciates receiving given its concern for the safety of its products, and provides the following in response. Dynacraft’s product liability team is in the process of investigating this matter and as a result we understand that the consumer claims that the rear tire on her son’s bicycle failed after about 30 minutes of riding on a half paved, half gravel road. The consumer’s son sustained a few minor scrapes and did not require any medical attention. The photographs provided by the consumer show what appears to be damage to both the rear tire and the rear inner tube. The consumer did not witness the incident and the consumer’s son reportedly did not recall hitting anything with the rear wheel. Although the consumer reported previously contacting Dynacraft, it appears that the contact was attempted to an incorrect email address. Subsequently, the consumer contacted Dynacraft’s customer service department at the correct address and was provided with replacement parts. Given the available information, we cannot rule out improper use or abuse as possible causes of the reported incident at this time. Nevertheless, this appears to be an isolated incident.

The product, in the report: 18” BIKE by NEXT yellow and blue Surge model received Christmas 2011

Received a Next bike (model Surge) for Christmas 2011. One of the bars that the pedal attaches to has the threads going the wrong way so the pedal screws on wrong so that when my son pedals it eventually comes unscrewed, falls off, and causes him to fall. There was no nut included with the bike and the bolt on the actual pedal is barely long enough to go through the hole that even if we bought a nut, we couldn’t attach it to the pedal. The last time this happened, he was cut by the pedal bar.

The company’s comments, in its own words

(8/14/2012) Dynacraft BSC, Inc.: Dynacraft has reviewed this report, which it appreciates receiving given its concern for the safety of its products. The bicycles are shipped in boxes and before they are ridden, the pedals must be attached, either by the retailer if sold fully assembled or by the consumer. If the pedals are properly attached and tightened securely to the crank as indicated in the owners manual and on stickers on the bicycles, they will not come off from riding and are difficult to remove. The consumer may be addressing the fact that left pedals are threaded such that they screw into the crank counterclockwise while the right pedals go in clockwise, which is the case with virtually all pedals. Additionally, pedals are not supplied with nuts or spindles that protrude beyond the back side of the crank as the consumer suggests. Thus, it appears that the pedal coming off was most likely the result of it not having been properly tightened to the crank. As the consumer’s contact information was not released, Dynacraft cannot locate any record of the consumer’s reported contact and therefore cannot investigate or comment on this matter any further at this time.

The product, in the report: “Next Bicycle” silver and maroon. sold at walmart. i believe that it is a 28 inch wheel base

I was riding on my “next” bicycle that I had purchased from Walmart, and as I was pedaling down a hill, one of the pedals shattered. the loss of the pedal sent me off balance and caused me to cut my shin open on the bar that the pedal had been attached to. I was also so thrown off balance that I fell and cut open my hand and scraped my elbow. I took the bike to a bike shop and got a new pedal put on. a week later, I was riding along in 7th gear, and the chain slipped and i fell and hurt my ankle. i had been in the middle of pedaling and the chain just gave way but didn’t break.
