Belter 16

NEXT LEVEL, EVERY DAY

Rated 4.9 out of 5
Based on 186 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?

Excellent bike for young pirates on bikes

The weight and economics of the spike and just perfect for young boys to gain confidence and control on their bicycle. It is now the third bike for little boy and with each new one, he’s made substantial progress.

Very happy customer

We have had the Belter 16 for two years now and will upgrade next year. This bike made it super easy for our son to learn, even though he was really hesitant in the beginning. It's stable, trustworthy and robust - but without the added weight. And the design is outstanding. Our 6-year old has truly loved it.

Fantastic bike, still going strong after 6 years

Excellent bike. Our three kids used this to learn how to cycle and after using a balance bike managed to get going in minutes. Nice and light so it's easy to get going. Or youngest is 5 and a half (average height) and has outgrown it but still using it....for now. All learned to cycle just turning 4 (average height kids), no problems, perfect!

Awesome bike

My 4 year old is super happy and finally has managed to get of his balance bike. Few hours without pedals for practice and he was able to pedal, brake and reach good speeds. Bike is very good built from high quality parts. Also, it look’s so amazing. Totally worth the money! 🙂

Belter 16

The rider used to use Rider 12 and moving to Belter 16 was natural, love at first sight. The product is flawless as far as I am concerned.

I will likely buy Belter 20/24 and I hope for a better distribution in Czechia. DPD.CZ dent the joy.

Awesome bike

I love this bike! Considered some other bikes before going for the Belter as I was sceptical about the belt drive system rather than a conventional chain and I thought my son might want some colour on the frame, but the belt is so much smoother and quieter than a chain on a child's bike like this (i.e. single speed), and i've added some colour with Early Rider's blue pedals which looks really cool, plus the overall build quality of the frame and components is brilliant. My son had the Charger 12 balance bike before this (which he also loved and again, the build quality is brilliant) and i'm pleased we decided to stick with Early Rider for his first pedal bike - he loves his new bike as do I! I think the riding position is just right too, upright enough for a kid to find comfortable and to learn on but with a bit of forward lean to give them a strong position on the bike with lots of control.
