Wondering is this is really a kids bike. From what I understand it's just a normal 20" kink curb, but in the description it says kids bike. Asking because I am considering getting one but don't wanna be stuck with a kids bike out of a sudden 😅 Is there a Kink Curb specifically for kids and another one for "adults"?

How tall are you? Because the kink curb is a 20” top tube so it’s made for shorter ppl aka kids. I’m 5’11 and ride a 20.75 top tube and it’s more than fine. If you want a bigger bike a 21” tt is good or if you want a shorter bike and more twitchy a 20.5 tt is good. But it all depends mainly on height and from there you can see how you want ur bike.
What u/AdministrativeSwan28 said, plus…
It’s a low-end bike meant to introduce kids to BMX without a huge investment, then grown out of and replaced relatively quickly if said kid shows any aptitude/interest. It is 100% hi-ten steel with nary a sealed bearing in sight, including the headset and bottom bracket.
They don’t have any resale value if you are thinking of getting this now and selling it later.
I’m not sure if it’s only me but I always first check places like Facebook marketplace, eBay, etc for used bikes. A lot of ppl bought bmx, some times pretty decent and quit the sport after firs fall. you can often get them cheap. I got few almost new bikes for very cheap this way.
Love the kink curb I bought one and it’s a solid bike I ride it all around town definitely needs some upgrades but overall great bike
