This guide is to enlighten people looking to purchase a Smart Cycle for their kid(s). I’m writing it after searching on for one for my own
daughter, and was disgusted at the sellers prices.

Here goes. Currently, you can buy Smart Cycle from Wal-Mart for $90 brand new. You can go on the website and get it shipped to your
local store if yours is out of stock. This site-to-store shipping is free. The game carts cost $20 brand new as well. NONE OF THEM ARE
RARE. These auctions stating that whatever game is rare, are lying to get you to bid. Watch the shipping costs. If you pay $60 for a Smart Cycle
from a seller, and pay $25 shipping, you save $5 from the store cost. You also need to consider that this is a large item, and if it breaks, you may
not get a warranty from the seller. Even if you do, most of the time you have to pay to ship it to them. You can easily see why I felt the need to
write this guide. I don’t want people to fall into the trap sellers are setting.

I have heard a few problems with the smart cycle. One is that the pedals come out, and the part that screws in will get stripped. A person
who is handy could fix this themselves for minimal cost.

The second is that they really chew up the batteries. This thing is battery operated ONLY! I’ve heard both ways on this, that the cycle either does
or doesn’t use batteries fast. I think it depends solely on how much you use it. Most people who let their kids use it about an hour a day do not have
any problems. Just beware and be prepared with extra batteries.

Third, I’ve heard complaints that the games are too easy even for a 4 year old. Again, this is probably a case to case basis and some kids may enjoy
it, while other kids of the same age will be bored in a couple minutes.

I hope this enlightens some of you who are considering buying a Smart Cycle from the gouging sellers. Check local stores first!
