AlphaThree

2 years ago, we got our son his first Prevelo, the Alpha One on his 3rd birthday.  Now we were ready for the Alpha Three for his 5th birthday (he's 44" tall, 47lbs).  We called and were told that they were out of stock and supply chain disruptions meant that we would not have one before his 5th birthday.  We were very sorry to hear this, though understandable in the global scheme of things during Covid. A few days later, we received a surprise email from Sarah saying they found one in their stock and it was the exact color we were looking for and were we interested.  Of course we were, we ordered it, and it was delivered exactly as promised. So as usual, Prevelo met and exceeded our expectations when it came to customer care.   The bike itself was great -- beautiful, easy to setup, instructions were obvious and all tools provided.  Our son had no problems riding it right away.  It was easy to handle, at the lowest seat height, he could put both his feet on the ground without any problems which is comforting.  The shifters were also fine, and he can shift both up and down comfortably.  We have gone on 6-7mile bike rides over both paved and unpaved terrain the bike handles all that very well. So bottom line, great bike, great company and good customer care.  

My 6yo loves his new alpha 3, in blue. Super well built, and will last for awhile. Customer service is top notch too. We originally ordered the wrong color, and prevelo took care of us. Recalled the wrong colored bike after it shipped, and sent out the blue one super fast. Happy all around.

The Alpha 3 bike is probably the only 20" bike in the market that fits kids with an inseam of 18 inch. My 5 year old has been biking without training wheels since he was 3, so he's been ready for a bigger bike with gears for a long time. After doing some research, I found the Alpha 3, we bought it and I can't be happier. It fits him perfectly and he is the happiest kid in the world.It is also light enough that he can lift it without help. We got the bike with the rapid fire+ shifter as recommended, and it's been great. He got the hand of it pretty quickly. We will not be buying other bikes for our kids. Bike was very easy to put together (literally took us 10 min) and customer service is great, they are very responsive and helpful. We even got a handwritten note with the bike thanking us for buying the bike!!

I have a daughter that is very small for her age and Prevelo bikes are sized perfect for her. My seven year old daughter had grown out of her 16” Bike but when she got on her older sister’s 20” Bike she was super stretched out and super uncomfortable and scared. Enter the Alpha 3. Since we got it she has had a seamless transition to the larger sized bike. Jacob definitely has the magic touch when it comes to the dimensions on these bikes. The brake levers are adjustable for small hands and the gear range is great for climbing the hills around our house. I now own 3 Prevelo bikes and have zero regrets. If you want your kid to enjoy riding, buy one of these and you will get much more enjoyment than tears.

Had some anxiety about this purchase-that completely went away when I saw the quality of this bike and most importantly how much my son loves it. Worth it. By a long shot. I have a fairly confident rider that started on a balance bike at 2, and never had training wheels. But, I wouldn't describe him as a shredder and honestly was just kind of indifferent about riding. Well, he is all about his Alpha 3 24/7. Wants to ride as soon as he gets out of bed. Picked up the gears and hand brakes quickly, w/in minutes. We have logged a couple miles every afternoon for a week..As a gearhead myself, I am very impressed with the quality and build of this bike. Just can't say enough good things about it.
