No, that's why I said it's OK(ish) if you must buy a new bike.
My son's bike cost £45 refurbished from a local charity (it's a much better bike than this and I'll probably get my money back when he grows out of it).
My Trek cost £60 from ebay (and the same charity fixed the gears for £10).
You can't get a decent new kids bike this size for much less than £150. So the options are; buy something knowing it's not really any good, buy secondhand or spend more.
It's like trying to buy a new car for £4,000 - cars just aren't that cheap for a reason.
I realise that doesn't help people with a limited budget who need a new bike for Xmas but it's important to know what you're buying. The claimed RRP of £140 is utter nonsense - proper bike dealers will sell you a real bike with an aluminium frame (weighing about 11kg) and working gears & brakes for that sort of money.

If you really must have a new bike and this is your budget I guess it's possible to get worse ones (the ones with full suspension!).
But bare in mind this bike is heavy (I'm 6'1" and my bike - which cost me £60 - is 3kg lighter than this!) and the brakes and gears won't be great.

I was wondering the same, it says girls in description, but I guess it's just the pink stickers making it a girls bike.
