with that price range , i would look around for a used bike that is fully chromoly , any thing new in that price range will most likely be really shit and not last more then 2 months in my experience
the only bike brand new that i would even buy in that range would be
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GNDMK4W/ref=twister_B07KD87Z4F?_encoding=UTF8&th=1
yes it says boys bike but the stats don't lie
its 21 inch top tube , its full 4130 , its double wheeled rims , and as long as your just starting out it should hold you over
​

Granted I only did a cursory check of legit parts prices on amazon, but they seem to be the exact same prices that you’d find on BMX specific sites. And most of the time amazon is just a storefront for other smaller shops that can’t afford a distribution network.
For instance this bike is actually sold by this shop.
Alright, well similar theories apply to the 20". And that makes searching for used bikes on craigslist/offerup a bit easier.
Far as new bikes go this is maybe the best you will find.

Or going for a Mongoose bike but these bikes are kind of just in between walmart bike and the one above, so I'm not sure how much better it is than the current bike. You said he was just cruising for now so you shouldn't have any strength issues: https://www.amazon.com/Mongoose-Legion-Freestyle-20-Inch-Wheels/dp/B07GNJDFK7/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=mongoose%2Blegion&qid=1564628291&s=gateway&sr=8-3&th=1

The 2019 is $279 the 2020 has upgraded wheels and cranks i think
I want to get a 24" BMX for cruisin' around, no tricks or anything. I'm currently cruising around on a standard 20", and I wanna upgrade. Like i said, I don't plan on doing anything extreme, just cruising. I was looking online, Amazon has a few listed under $300 like this one for example: https://www.amazon.com/Mongoose-Title-Boys-Freestyle-Bike/dp/B07G3RVN6V/ref=pd_ybh_a_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=N6HVYVBZZ5XYEQZ4J1QX but im not sure about it's quality. I know I don't need a top of the line bike, as I'm just a casual cruiser, but I want to know I'm getting something decent.
As far as price range, I'd like to keep it around $300ish or below, simply because I'm a pretty casual rider, and I'm not looking to sink a bunch of cash into something that I'm just gonna putt around on. That being said, I do like owning nice shit, and I can afford something in the $500-$600 range if i want, I just don't think that would be necessary for someone like me.
Also, what sprocket size do i want? I went to my local bike shop and was browsing and a some of them had a standard size BMX sprocket (at leas to my casual eye), while others had little bitty ones. What should I get? What price range should I be looking at? The one i like at my local shop is like $320 for a Haro 24" with standard sprocket and big fat street tires (which i like). Should i pull the trigger, or grab something online?
For $20 more this is a much better bike https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01LW44X4K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480863782&sr=8-1&pi=SL75_QL70&keywords=mongoose+legion+l100
Ah, I see. So, a little smaller than a 1/4". Do you think a 20" BMX bike would have that type of hubs? Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Mongoose-Boys-Legion-Bicycle-Blue/dp/B074L3GXHJ/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1549476983&sr=8-5&keywords=20%22+bmx+bike
basic low end racing bike. Make sure you figure out the size you need. The 24" is cheaper but heavier. Might want to go to the track and see what size bikes girls around your age are ridding. Good luck. https://www.amazon.com/Mongoose-Title-Boys-Bicycle-Silver/dp/B074L7XBBC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525998982&sr=8-1&keywords=mongoose+title
Mongoose legion l80 might be a good choice, unless shes a generally tall girl. https://www.amazon.com/Mongoose-Legion-Freestyle-Bike-Blue/dp/B074L2YCVH?th=1 This is under your budget, and objectively better than really anything else new in that price range. Shorter toptube than the l100 so if shes the average height for a girl, it'll fit her.
This is legit. The best bike for the price. https://www.amazon.com/Mongoose-Legion-Wheel-Freestyle-Black/dp/B01LW44X4K use every part they give you till it wears out then and only then upgrade it. My friend has this. First the go where the grips. Then the times and the chain everything else is lasting. When you buy new tires. Buy 100psi and run high 80s. And if you don't run brakes I'll buy your lever and brake arms /cable.
What do you think of this? https://smile.amazon.com/Mongoose-Legion-Wheel-Freestyle-Black/dp/B01LW44X4K/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480518780&sr=8-1&keywords=mongoose+legion+l100
Any opinions on this bike then? Framed Attack LTD BMX Bike Mens Sz 20in/20.5in Top Tube https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IA4UE7G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ysauybA8V3SNS
After hours of researching this seems like a good bike. I may need new pesals on it cause some people had problems with them.
Full chromo frame, chromo fork and bars, and double wall rims
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07GNDMK4W/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
Ok downvote me but at least know what you are talking about first. Check this https://www.amazon.com/Mongoose-Freestyle-Featuring-Multiple-Available/dp/B07NQX45MT
See that ring between the handlebars and the frame? That lets the brakes function while you can spin the handlebars around as many times as you want with no problems.
Not under $400, but at least under $600:
