Our 16 inch bike is an Australian Good Design Award Winner — a nod to our promise to build the best-designed bikes for kids

Why our kids bikes are different

Purpose-built bikes for kids — designed to make it easier to balance, start, control, and safely stop. We do this by making bikes that are lightweight, low and stable, with kid-friendly hand brakes (and no pedal brake), yet built to last with quality components that ride better, last longer, and ensure these kids bikes can be passed-on or resold.

The media weigh in

“

I’ve reviewed hundreds of kids’ bikes over the past 15 years and as a result, have become pretty picky about kids bikes. After testing both the 16” and 20” base bikes, I can confidently say they deliver impressive quality and ride experience.
