We pedal! TOP 5 children's two-wheeled bicycles

A child's bike that is sane in nature does not necessarily have to cost fabulous money. The best proof of this is the low-cost bike Baby Tilly Explorer New 16 for kids aged 3 to 7 years.

The model is based on an understated steel frame with wheels with a diameter of 16". Her growth together with the child is ensured by the possibility of height adjustments of the seat and steering column. To comprehend the basics of bike control for a small rider will be handy, coupled with attached wheels, which, if unnecessary, will quickly detach from the main rear wheel.

The bike is made in a restrained design to match both boys and girls. It is equipped with full-size wings, a bike rack, a bell and even rear-view mirrors. The main brake of the model is pedal, but it is supported by rim "V-breaks" on the front wheel. The front brake handle is placed on the steering wheel under the rider's right palm.

Of the minuses, the Baby Tilly Explorer New 16 is noted for its heavy weight and the formation of rust on the chrome elements of the body kit. However, with proper storage of the bike in a dry place, it should not rust. The most significant trump card in the sleeve of the model is, of course, affordable cost, which minimally beats the thickness of the parent wallet.

In the assortment of the Formula bike brand there is a solution for any age category. For example, to gain experience of the first independent rides, the Fury 16 2021 children's model is perfect.

The bike uses a time-tested formula with a high-strength steel frame, a rigid fork and a softened saddle. This is a single-speed model for the height of a small cyclist from about 100 to 115 cm. The maximum "load capacity" of the bike is 35 kg. Moreover, the "iron horse" itself weighs about 10.7 kg (a lot, as for a child).

Formula Fury 16 2021 is mounted on wheels of the 16th diameter and is additionally equipped with side wheels. They enable a child to learn to ride a bicycle without careful parental control. As soon as the child learns to keep his balance on his own, the safety wheels can be removed.

Bicycle braking is performed by pressing the pedals backwards. The bike also has front rim brakes with a handle on the steering wheel. Thanks to the omnivorous rubber tread, Formula Fury 16 2021 easily conquers different road surfaces, whether asphalt, paving slabs or primer are under the wheels of a bicycle. In addition, the model has acquired wings that protect the little rider from dirt and dust from under the wheels.

If you choose a children's bike from inexpensive models, one of the most delicious offers in the segment is the Ardis Falcon 16 bike. And here's why.

The first weighty argument "for" in favor of the model is a lightweight magnesium alloy frame, which is not often found in the arena of state employees. As a result, the bike "in full parade" weighs only a little more than 9 kg. The wheels of the bike are standard for the age category from 3 to 6 years — their diameter is equal to 16".

The speed of the bike is the same. But the brakes here are not the most ordinary. The bike uses mechanical disc brakes with 140 mm rotors. They are not afraid of dirt, provide high deceleration efficiency, and do not particularly need maintenance. And it will be easier for a child to transfer to a teenage or adult bike after mastering manual braking.

The Ardis Falcon 16 is equipped "out of the box" with protective wings, a bicycle bell, and removable safety wheels are also attached to it (they will come in handy at the stage of the child's education). The inner lining of the brake cables deserves special respect, so that a small cyclist will not accidentally cling to them with clothes.

Children's and teen bicycles are the backbone of the Royal Baby company's products. With the expectation of kids, the popular Freestyle Steel 16 model is produced, which is suitable for a height from 105 to 135 cm.

The basis of the bicycle design is a strong steel frame, characterized by resistance to deformation during falls and impacts. And believe me, they often happen at the stage of learning to ride a bike. To protect a small rider from falls can be attached wheels, which are attached to the sides of the rear wheel of the bike. When the child gets hold of the bike, they are easily removed.

The Royal Baby Freestyle Steel 16 uses an easy-to-learn single-speed transmission. The model also uses a set of brakes with control knobs on the steering wheel. The front brake here is rim (V-brake type), the rear is drum. The brake levers are designed for a child's palm and have a short stroke, so that the child does not have difficulties with slowing down and stopping the bike.

In terms of equipment, the model stands head and shoulders above the lion's share of colleagues in the shop. Judge for yourself, along with it comes a bicycle bell, a comfortable anatomical saddle, the aforementioned training wheels, wings, a flask holder and a water bottle. But you can install either a protective wing or a bottle holder on the rear wheel — they do not become together.

The Taiwanese Giant company is a leading bicycle manufacturer on a global scale. There are also purely children's models of bike bikes in the brand's assortment. For example, ARX 16 F/W 2020 with an eye on children with a height of 90 to 110 cm.

One gear is installed on the bike. Little riders don't need more to start with. Riding a bike on flat paths in the park or on a large plot of land is a real pleasure. The model is characterized by excellent rolling and shows itself well on asphalt surfaces of questionable quality.

The "body" of the Giant ARX 16 F/W 2020 is made of Aluxx Grade aluminium alloy, which is lightweight and durable at the same time. The support points for the bike are 16-inch diameter wheels on single aluminium rims. The front and rear brakes of the clamping design (V-brake type) are connected to them.

Against the background of high quality materials and assembly, the meager equipment of the bike is a slightly frustrating factor. Even protective wings from dirt are not attached to it. However, according to the driving properties, the Giant ARX 16 F/W 2020 will give a head start to any peer. This is a light and reliable bike made of strong medium layers of the society of children's bikes.
