Why base bikes?
Proper bikes, built from the ground up for kids. Made to be loved - by the kids who ride them and the parents who know bikes. Start them right, and they'll ride for life.
LIGHTWEIGHT
base bikes are among the lightest kids bikes in the world. A lightweight bike is easier to get on, get off, and ride. This helps kids feel confident, safe, and in control.
They're also easier for parents to carry!
LOW AND STABLE
Kids are uniquely proportioned, and their bikes should be too. That's why base bikes feature a low centre of gravity, long wheel base, a narrow q-factor (distance between the pedals) and shorter cranks.
All in all, this makes the bicycle much easier to push off, balance and control.
FOR SMALL HANDS
All too often, kids bikes have brake levers too far away making them hard to reach and hard to pull. Instead, base bikes use micro-reach brake levers designed for small hands. Combined with small diameter grips, everything just feels easier.
TWO HAND BRAKES, NO PEDAL BRAKE
Pedal (coaster) brakes prevent riders from back pedalling to balance and make it difficult to position the pedals in the "start" position. Instead, base bikes are equipped with front and rear hand brakes with kid-sized, easy-reach, brake levers to ensure effective control and encourage two-handed braking from the start.
BUILT TO LAST
These bikes are built to last, ensuring that they can be passed down to siblings or resold. With high-quality components such as Pro-Wheel cranks, a Selle Royal saddle, KMC chain, Tektro brakes and Kenda wheels, as well as small touches like pre-stretched cables, stainless steel spokes and brass spoke-nipples to prevent rust, base bikes retain their value.
SAFE
Rest assured, base bikes meet or exceed required Australian safety standards.
With safety features such as lock-on grips that prevent slipping and exposure to the metal handlebar—eliminating a common source of injuries in kids' bikes—combined with easy handling to minimise falls, this bike is designed with your child’s safety as the top priority.
