Breaking barriers.
If it's their first ride to school or they've been at it for years, the nerves as a parent are always apparent. That's why we design bikes the way we do. By pioneering research and development into what a child actually needs, we engineer products that alleviate their fears - and yours, unlocking their potential. A bike that lets them focus on whats around them, not beneath them, is no longer a bike, its freedom.
Not only that...
It unlocks life skills.
Studies indicate that riding to school was shown to build confidence, leadership, teamwork, and independence. And not only is it beneficial health wise, it unlocks cognitive development earlier. Early Rider has always been about giving them the right tools to support this. It's so much more than just a ride - it's a way to maximise their innate capabilities.
And it's just the start...
Physical activity sets the stage for social engagement, self-esteem, and motivation to engage in new challenges. That school ride is a key to unlock it.
We spend just as much time thinking on that as we do on incredibly precise and thought out child friendly engineering. Getting the bike right is only half the job: the other half is everything it makes possible after.
Which bike is right?
If you're looking for your ultimate urban adventurer, ideal on tarmac, grass, gravel or dirt, THE BELTER just may be the right fit. Wide tyres for increased stability, a clean, hassle free belt drive and kid centric geometry allow your kids to focus on whats around them, not underneath them, unlocking confidence. In you - and them.
A little more adventurous? One bike, every route: playground pavement on the way to school, roots and mud the moment the bell rings. If you're looking for on and off the beaten track THE SEEKER is built for both.
Bling my ride.

So much more than a commute.
Backed by real data.
"A recent scoping review by Savolainen and colleagues exploring the psychosocial factors that influence children’s active travel to school reported that a child’s confidence in their ability was positively associated with active transport to school and, a parent’s confidence in their child’s ability also shared a positive relationship with active transport."

Unlock potential
"Parents reported gains in social participation, self-esteem, relationships with peers and family, as well as increased participation in daily life activities. Measures of strength and dynamic balance supported these outcomes and likely impacted children’s motivation to participate in other community-based extracurricular activities."

What size bike is right for my child?
It's recommended that your child can stand with both feet on the ground over lowest top tube point in front of saddle. Check out the Minimum Standover Height on the size guide in the product you're looking at. Then measure the inside leg of your kid. That should get you the right size estimate.
Do the bikes come with reflectors?
Yup they do.
Can I fit mudguards to the bike?
For sure. We have mudguards made in two sizes to fit 14/16" bikes and 20/24" bikes. Check out the products in the collection above.
Do I need to maintain the belt on the Belter?
Nope its a maintenance free. All of the fun, none of the fuss.
