The new 24-inch Pro Mountain Bikes are built to go even further. Vuly Classic Pro models have an upgraded 8-speed trigger shift drivetrain, improved Kenda tires and Easy Reach brake levers to let young riders tackle more advanced trails.

Most kids bikes under $800 with discs are mechanical. Not sure what info gave you the wet cardboard idea?
Personally although the price is pretty good comparatively, I’m not a fan of any kind of suspension on bikes 24inch and below (unless your kid is a complete shredder).
For bikes that size look at something with a ridged fork and plus sized tires then run them at a lower PSI as this will give a softer ride without the extra weight of a suspension fork.
I’d also go as far as saying although disc brakes are a better option, I wouldn’t get too hung up on this. Rim brakes are more than capable at stopping a 30kg child, even when wet. They are also way more forgiving when learning how to use handle bar brakes.
These are about getting the big-bike look — forks, discs and 2.35" tyres in a package that should be a cut above the dept. store BSOs.
can you please give some recommodations? specific - scott 24 inch is around 749
I'm sure @dan76n would agree, this candidate matches their description to a T.
Light, rigid frame, rim brakes and simple 1x drivetrain.

On the other hand, I would seriously consider something really cheap from BigW (around $120) or cheaper used bike as they'll outgrow a 24" in a few short years.
I'd set it up very carefully though, use threadlock etc.
13kg, no thanks
Does anyone have experience on Vuly bikes compared to store bought (e.g. 99 bikes)? Looking for a 40cm/16in bike.
Ehhh, er yeah mech disc, 30mm fork, rims made of wet cardboard.
