Early Rider: Belter Series
Description
This is beyond question, Early Rider’s most rewarding bike! At a little over 5.5kgs for the 14” version, the Belter Series sets the standard others can only dream of following. With every kilo on a 3 year olds’ bike being the equivalent of 4 or 5 on an adult bike, this is 5kgs lighter than most 16″ bikes. Quite the difference to a child.
It’s not just the weight either, everything is designed for low rolling resistance. High psi tyres, cartridge bearing hubs and even bespoke full bearing aluminium pedals all play a part. Yet it is the belt drive that steals the show, a belt will never stretch like a chain, it’ll never be gunked up by dirt and grease and it will be as good the day your kid has finished with it as the day they first rode it.
