NEXT LEVEL, EVERY DAY

Rated 4.9 out of 5
Based on 204 reviews

SUPER STABLE, LIGHTWEIGHT, FREE ROLLING BIKE FOR RAPID PROGRESSION AND EVERY DAY ADVENTURES. THE WORLD’S BEST SELLING BELT DRIVE BICYCLE. 

Color: Brushed Aluminium

Performance. Practicality. Proven.

An ultra-lightweight belt drive, running on the best-in-class wheels, makes sure pedalling is always a breeze for those little legs - always. No grease means there's never any grime building up to make their life harder (as well as no oily stains to make your life harder).  

The drive train is aluminium too, so there are no rusty chainrings to replace. And stretch or wear? These belts last as timing belts in car engines - you're safe.

So that’s free rolling, clean, quiet, durable, rust-free, low maintenance. Low cost of ownership, no discernible loss of performance and no corrosion to hurt resale value. If only it had legendary geometry and market leading finishing kit... Is it any wonder that the Belter 16 reinvented the first bike?

Granddaughter's Bike

My granddaughter loves it and has a blast on it. Her balance/comfort/efficiency is so right on it, rides like it supposed to. Brilliant!

Best bike to learn riding for kids

My daughter was struggling to learn to ride the bike for a while. We tried three different ones and only once we bought this one she has started riding on the second attempt. I would recommend buying it with a kickstand. This way your bike will be scratched less often. Note that I cannot assess the quality of the service as I didn't need to contact them.

Love it!

These bulletproof bikes are perfect for young learners. Lightweight, belt drive and brakes are low maintenance if any— and the fit is just right for growing kids! We committed to the Early Rider fleet and have never been let down.

Early Rider - One Love ♥️

We switched from Early Rider Charger 12, so the question of which bike to buy next was a no-brainer – only Early Rider for us! Our child is delighted. Just a few hours on the first day, he was already riding independently. Only positive emotions from the bike. I was concerned about the delivery, but it arrived very quickly and without any issues. Thanks, Early Rider

Just like new!

We had a belter 16 many years ago and now we are getting another one. The bike is superb!

I really couldnt make out why it was a "factory second" rather than a new bike.
