Answer
All standard mountain bikes have 26 inch rims. Some are a little wider, but they work the same on the same tires. I am guessing you have "rim" brakes and not disc brakes, so the sides of the rims should be like a straight wall, about 1/2 inch tall.
Different rims:
Downhill-wider, tougher, more expensive
29er-Newer development/invention, a lot harder to find, a lot bigger
Disc brake-side wall of rim is slanted and painted, almost round.
Kid sized bike-24 inch rim

I like the first one because there's a Toys R Us store near where I live, and I can have the employees there assemble it for me. But many people say bikes at Toys R Us stores are just "toys" with low quality.
I did some research and found out that Mongoose has quite a good reputation as well as Polaris!
However, I've found no review about the Avigo one!
So, what do you guys think?
Thank you!
I forgot to mention that I just want a bike to ride for fun, not for serious mountain biking!
Any bike that is <= $200 is OK, any recommend guys?
Answer
4. None of the above. All cheap full suspension bikes of VERY low quality. And you do realize all 3 have 24" wheels meant for a kid I hope.
A good hardtail beats a cheap full squish bike any day of the week. Real full suspension bikes start in the thousands of dollars - not hundreds. See link below from Trek. This is their LOWEST priced model full suspension bike.
My other favorite saying... Real bicycle shops do not sell toys & Toys 'R Us does not sell real bicycles. Neither does Wally World, K-Mart, Target & most on Amazon.com. They sell "bicycle shaped objects".
