Frameset
Premium quality, ultra-lightweight 6061 grade Aluminium featuring a low centre of gravity for better balance, a long wheel base for increased stability, a gentle head angle for stable riding and plenty of room for kids to grow. The total bike weight, including the pedals, is 6.9 kg!

Wheels and Tyres
Super lightweight alloy rims with durable stainless steel spokes to prevent rust and Australian Standard compliant Cateye reflectors on each wheel.

Kenda Small Block 16*1.5 inch tyres with low rolling resistance and great for paved and light trail use.

Free wheeling rear hub
This bike features a free-wheeling rear wheel, without the counterintuitive pedal brake (commonly known as a 'coaster brake'). This allows children to easily adjust the pedals to the right starting position. It also enables back-pedaling for balance, and eliminates the risk of losing rear braking if the chain comes off, which is a key safety issue with back-pedal brakes.

Drivetrain
A sealed bottom bracket with steel cups for longevity, a Prowheel 26T chainwheel with double-sided chain guard and a KMC chain. A narrow q-factor (the horizontal distance between the pedals) and 90mm cranks to perfectly suit smaller bodies.

Overtime, all chains will stretch. We have included a chain tensioner to allow easy chain tightening and wheel alignment as the bikes are passed to siblings and friends.

Saddle
Child-proportioned with a lightweight alloy stem. The saddle can be adjusted forwards and backwards and the seat angle tilted, meaning maximum flexibility for growing children and the longest possible lifespan for growing kids on the bike.

The seat post also has a clear, minimum insertion line, and a rear Cateye reflector, to keep safety a priority.

Handlebars
50 cm wide for stable riding, black anodised for maximum durability, lightweight and adjustable, with a thinner 19 mm grip to suit little hands and the inclusion of a locking clamp to keep the grips safely in place.

A bell and front (and rear) Cateye reflectors are included and arrive already attached.

Headset and Stem
A NECO 28.6 mm threadless headset with sealed bearings for durability.

A lightweight stem with 40 mm extension and 3 degree rise.

Hand Brakes
The dual hand brakes are high quality Tektro J310 V-brakes front and rear with child friendly Tektro micro-reach JL-350 brake levers for maximum quality and longevity.
