What Are You Buying?<\/h2>\n

1. 12\u201d Bike with Adjustable Steering and Saddle<\/h3>\n

12\u201d is the perfect size for a 3-4 year old. It is not too heavy for them to handle and the height is just right for them.<\/p>\n

To get the perfect ride height, you can adjust both the steering and the saddle.<\/p>\n

Make sure that they can reach the handles without leaning over too much and the saddle is at a height that allows them to plant their feet firmly on the ground when seated.<\/p>\n

The adjustable steering and saddle is handy as they grow. You can keep adjusting the height upwards until the bike gets too small for them.<\/p>\n

2. Safety Features \u2013 Child-Friendly Brakes and Reflectors<\/h3>\n

Safety is an obviously important factor when buying a bike for a kid. This bike comes with several safety features.<\/p>\n

It uses child-friendly brakes. There are actually two types of brakes: an easy-to-use handbrake on the right handlebar and a coaster or back pedal brake.<\/p>\n

The back pedal brake is helpful for kids who cannot yet use the handbrake. Just turning the pedals backwards activates the coaster brakes and brings the bike to a safe stop.<\/p>\n

For kids who find that hard to do, the handbrake is just as easy to use.<\/p>\n

For improved visibility, there are reflectors all around the bike including the back, the front on the wheels and on the pedals.<\/p>\n

Training wheels are also included for kids who haven\u2019t yet learnt to balance. You can adjust their height or take them off completely as they get better.<\/p>\n

3. Well Made<\/h3>\n

This is a German-made bike. So the quality is really good. You can expect the bike to last for years even with rough use.<\/p>\n

The main framework is made from steel and finished with impact-resistance metallic paint.<\/p>\n

The chain guard and bottom bracket are fully enclosed. This protects your child\u2019s fingers and legs and protects the chain and ball bearings from dust and debris.<\/p>\n

4. Cool Styling<\/h3>\n

The bike has a cool sports design that any kid will love. It comes complete with mudguards, a rear seat and decals.<\/p>\n

Whatever their favourite colour is, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll find it among the 10 styles available.<\/p>\n

How Easy Is It To Use?<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll have to assemble the bike when it\u2019s delivered. But it\u2019s fairly easy to put it together.<\/p>\n

It takes about 15 to 30 minutes depending on how good you are with basic tools. The manual has clear instructions and there\u2019s also a video you can watch on YouTube or the manufacturer\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Once assembled, the bike is easy to ride.<\/p>\n

For young kids who have not yet learnt how to ride, remember to put on the training wheels. If your child already knows how to balance, install the side stand instead.<\/p>\n

The bike has a low-entry design. Your kid doesn\u2019t have to struggle to lift their leg high over the crossbar.<\/p>\n

Adjusting various parts including the saddle, steering and brakes is easy using basic tools.<\/p>\n

What Accessories Are Included?<\/h2>\n

Everything you need to put the bike together is included. This includes the following accessories: mudguards, stabiliser\/training wheels, bell, kickstand and luggage rack.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to buy anything else.<\/p>\n
