I started a similar/exact thread a week or 2 ago. You can probably find it on the second page. WalMart was selling bicycles of this advertised wheel size last year, with limited? success. I would imagine because of the apprehension to purchase something out of the box. I received some good help from fellow members here. They suggested contacting Kent bicycles as they were the licensed manufacturer. I haven't done so yet though. Some research on a couple forums show that they are 48 spoke wheels which has slowed me down some. Check out the thread for more details. Good luck. Cheers.
