16 Inch Kids Bike with Disc Brakes, Suspension Fork and Training Wheels, Blue
A magnesium alloy frame with a suspension fork and a disc brake at each wheel. The maker rates this 16 inch for riders 41.3 to 51.2 inches tall, an inseam of 22.5 to 25 inches, a saddle from 23 to 27 inches and 143 lb of capacity.
No coaster brake at all
Assuming the pedals still stop it
On nearly every other bike this size, pedalling backwards stops the bike. This one has disc brakes at both wheels and nothing on the pedals, so a child who reaches back for the coaster brake will keep rolling.
Check the hands before the hill
Both brakes are short pull levers designed for small hands. Before the first ride, have the child squeeze each lever hard enough to lock a wheel while standing still. If they cannot, this is the wrong bike for them yet, however well it fits.
The bike
A magnesium alloy frame in blue with a suspension fork, a disc brake at each wheel, a fully enclosed chain guard and two detachable training wheels.
The maker's dimensions panel
The table gives a 143 lb weight capacity, ages 4 to 7, an inseam of 22.5 to 25 inches and a rider height of 41.3 to 51.2 inches. The drawing beside it puts the bike at 45 inches long with the bars between 25.5 and 28 inches and the saddle between 23 and 27 inches.
Disc brakes, both ends
A disc at each wheel worked by two short pull levers, and a fully enclosed chain guard. Disc brakes shed heat better than rim brakes and keep working in the wet, which is the reason they are here.
What is on this bike
Dual disc brakes
A disc at each wheel with two short pull levers, rather than the usual coaster brake. There is no coaster brake here, so both stops come from the hands.
Saddle 23 to 27 in
Four inches of seat post, against a published inseam band of 22.5 to 25 inches.
Front suspension
A shock absorber in the fork, which is unusual at this wheel size and does real work on broken pavement.
143 lb capacity
The maker's published figure for this bike.
Magnesium alloy frame
The maker sets it against aluminium alloy for weight and strength, and runs the rear brake cable inside the frame.

Who is this perfect for?
Riders 41.3 to 51.2 in tall
The maker's band, with an inseam of 22.5 to 25 inches against a 23 inch saddle floor.
Children who can already squeeze a lever
There is no coaster brake on this one. Both brakes are hand operated, so check the child can pull a lever properly before the first slope.
Rough ground
A suspension fork and disc brakes are what separate this from a flat pavement bike.
What we stand behind
- The suitable age, rider height, inseam, saddle height, handlebar height, overall size and 143 lb weight capacity here are the manufacturer's own published figures.
- The manufacturer prints ASTM International and CPSC with CPSIA marks on their dimensions panel. We repeat that as their claim and quote no certificate number, because none is published.
- 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.
- This bike has no coaster brake. Both brakes are hand levers, so a child who cannot yet squeeze one has no way to stop.
- Ships from our Canadian or United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
