Smart Cycle plugs right into your TV, ready to take kids on learning adventures like no other. As they pedal, favorite character friends guide them through learning discoveries, games and even exciting races. Other activities don't require pedaling at all.

1) Drive, steer and learn at your own pace--visit Math Mountain, Shape Lake, Number Fields, Letter Creek and other stops along the way.

2) Learn, stop and rest, but don't stop learning! Use the joystick to reinforce important learning skills with plenty of games and activities with different levels for growing kids.

3) Race--put the pedal to the metal as you race with cars on-screen, against the clock, or with another player.

Includes Learning Journey software and the other themes sold separately include: Nick Jr.Dora the Explorer Friendship Adventure, Nick Jr.Go Diego Go! Diego's Animal Rescue, Discover the Dinosaurs, Nickelodeon SpongeBob Squarepants Ocean Adventure, Hot Wheels Barbie Fairytopia.

Summary: Excellent Product
Comment: Our grandchildren love this product ages three and five. The are home schooled and this help reinforce their education with the various discs that you can purchase.

Summary: So far so good!
Comment: The assemble is very simple and hooking it up to the TV is just as easy. Construction of the bike is sturdy and the design of the controllers on the handle bars have been thoughtfully placed.

The seat is designed to grow with your child; we have a 3 1/2 year old that is 3'7" and the seat adjustment is a huge MUST! From the looks of it, the bike has plenty of height adjustment left so that our son doesn't outgrow it any time soon! YAY!

The game that comes with the machine reminds me of the 90's version of Race Car driving. The graphics are simple and the concept is easy to understand (again, it's the game that comes with the machine).

It does look like Fisher-Price has taken extra time to make sure the instructions made more since... they have even added a separate diagram for the peddles AND it comes with an assembly tool.

So, it's a 'so-far-so-good' toy. :-)

Summary: Disappointed Rider
Comment: My 4 year gets very bored when he rides the Smart Cycle. He doesn't last more than 10 minutes on it. We have had this toy for almost a year now, and I don't think he has played with it more than a dozen times. This is definetely not an excercise toy due to the fact it has no resistance when the child rides the toy. Also, the Smart Cycle runs through batteries. I had to go buy rechargable batteries. Finally, we own 3 different games, but they seem to have the same concept except with different characters. With all the technology available, I think Fisher Price could of made this toy more fun!

Customer Rating:

Summary: power system failed completely with very little use
Comment: We used this thing about 3 times, during which it ate through 2 sets of D batteries. THen it would not turn on at all. What a waste of effort, materials, labor, shipping. Of course now it's been more than 30days so Amazon won't take it back. This is why the world is awash in garbage!
