12 Inch Kids Bike with Low Step Frame and Removable Training Wheels, Black
A black carbon steel frame with mint trim and a low step over. The maker rates the 12 inch for riders 31.5 to 41.3 inches tall, an inseam of 17 to 18.5 inches, a saddle from 19 to 20.5 inches, and gives the bike itself as 18.5 lb.
Twenty pounds a five year old has to lift
The bike nobody weighs
Almost no kids bike publishes its own weight, and a heavy one is the reason a child stops halfway up the driveway or cannot get it back on the rack.
A number on the table
This range prints its weight per size: 18.5 lb at 12 inch, 20 lb at 14, 22 lb at 16 and 24.5 lb at 18. It is a published figure you can compare with whatever else is on your shortlist, rather than an estimate.
The bike
A carbon steel frame in black and mint with a low step over, a printed enclosed chain guard, wide air tires and two removable training wheels.
The maker's sizing advice, and their table
The panel opens with two instructions: consider rider height more than age, and measure the inseam against the saddle height. The 12 inch row then reads riders 31.5 to 41.3 inches tall, an inseam of 17 to 18.5 inches, a saddle of 19 to 20.5 inches, a bike weight of 18.5 lb and a 110 lb capacity.
How far it moves
The saddle covers 19 to 20.5 inches and the bars 25.5 to 27 inches. Set the saddle from the inseam first, then bring the bars up until the child's back is not folded over.
What is on this bike
Saddle 19 to 20.5 in
The maker's range for this wheel size.
Handlebar 25.5 to 27 in
Adjusted separately from the saddle.
Bike weighs 18.5 lb
Published per size, which is rare at this price and worth knowing before a child has to pick it up.
Wide pneumatic tires
Air tires rather than foam, which the maker calls wear resistant and anti-skid. They will need pumping.
Two brakes
A hand lever with a shorter distance for small hands and a rear coaster brake, chain fully enclosed.

Who is this perfect for?
Riders 31.5 to 41.3 in tall
The maker's height band for this wheel size, against an inseam of 17 to 18.5 in.
Children who lift their own bike
At 18.5 lb this is a published number rather than a guess, which matters on stairs and at the car.
Rough pavement
Air tires take the edge off cracked sidewalk in a way foam tires do not, at the cost of an occasional top up.
What we stand behind
- The suitable age, rider height, inseam, saddle height, handlebar height, bike weight and 110 lb weight capacity here are the manufacturer's own published figures for the 12 in.
- No helmet is included. A helmet belongs on every ride, and eight Canadian provinces have helmet legislation, three of them for riders under 18.
- This is a bike for supervised riding on paths, driveways and parks, never on a road.
- The maker's own sizing note says to consider rider height more than age, and to measure the inseam against the saddle height.
- No safety certification mark appears on this listing, so we claim none.
- Ships from our Canadian or United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
