best quality kids bikes image

I am looking at the typical costs (fixed and variable) for producing a batch of 1,000 aluminium kids' bikes (24 inch) in Asia using a unique frame design
Answer
You mean a 24" wheel? Are you expecting to offer various frame sizes or colors? What safety spec do they have to adhere to... JIS, EN, CPSC? Do you have the facilities to test them? If not, are you just going with a standard frame design?
When a bike is specced for production it takes a lot of time- there are 75 different parts that all have to be chosen, then of course you have the frame.
I have personally specced 24" wheeled bikes that would retail anywhere from $100 to about $700. This would mean the factory price would be between $36 to $290 plus shipping, duty, and inland carriage.
Most factories won't even talk to you for under 15,000 bikes... if you want me to offer more detail you may email me.

Looking for a quality bike for my beyond wonderful, eight year old niece moving up from a twenty inch bike?

I need advice on purchasing a quality bike for an eight year old girl.One who loves to ride. She is moving up from her twenty inch bike. Any suggestions on twenty-four inch wheel bikeshop bike that is under $180? Or on a department store/sporting goods store bike that is of the same quality as bike shop bike.Would prefer the cruiser type bike to the mountain bike type, but quality level and reliabilty are most important factors.Thanks for the help!
Answer
Excellent opportunity to buy a lightly used bike. Kids don't normally fit this size bike for more than 2 years. By the time they turn 10-11 yrs old, they will be in a 26 inch wheeled bike (unless they are short). With your budget, you will get a better bike too. A decent bike shop quality bike will be over 200US.
Regarding the first answer being too young for a 24? My boys were on very comfortably on 24" wheels at 7 yrs old. They looked like circus clowns on toy bikes when they tried to ride 20" wheeled bikes at that age (other than BMX).....but I would agree that a fitting would be in order, or at least go shopping with the kids height/proportions at hand so you know what to get.
