The Skip 4 has 1.5″ of adjustable handlebar height, which you can set high or low depending on if your rider wants a more beginning, upright stance, or wants to lean in for more adventurous, aggressive riding. As you can see in the image below, our very tall 2.5-year-old tester has her arms fully extended down to reach the handlebars on the Elm. His arms are bent, allowing him to ride in a more upright, casual position.
The Greenville plant was not a success, as it was remote from both the corporate headquarters as well as the West coast ports where the material components arrived from Taiwan and Japan. The Greenville manufacturing facility, which had lost money each year of its operation, finally closed in 1991, laying off 250 workers in the process. In 1946, imports of foreign-made bicycles had increased tenfold over the previous year, to 46,840 bicycles; of that total, 95 per cent were from Great Britain. The postwar appearance of imported “English racers” (actually three-speed “sport” roadsters from Great Britain and West Germany) found a ready market among United States buyers seeking bicycles for exercise and recreation in the suburbs. Though substantially heavier than later European-style “racer” or sport/touring bikes, Americans found them a revelation, as they were still much lighter than existing models produced by and other American bicycle manufacturers.
W. tasked a new team to plan future business strategy, consisting of marketing supervisor Ray Burch, general manager Bill Stoeffhaas, and design supervisor Al Fritz. Of the four Schwinn Balance bikes, the Skip 4 is our hands-down favorite. From the longer frame to the adjustable handlebars and wider tires, it offers a pretty decent and budget-friendly ride for kids aged 2 to 4. For really timid riders, the lightweight Skip 2 or the slightly heavier Skip 3 would work well around the neighborhood, but the problematic seat post clamp is still a heavy concern. As for the old Schwinn balance bike, we believe you’re better off buying one of the new Skip versions which don’t include a footrest.

Schwinn has bikes in every category — for men, women and kids — and sells them through mass retailers’ bricks-and-mortar stores and online channels, plus its D2C one. They’re low- to moderately priced, most under $1,000, though the top-of-the-line model in its e-bike roster goes for $4,000. Dick’s declined to comment on its Schwinn sales, and Walmart would only say that generally it’s selling more bikes during the pandemic than it did for Christmas last December.
