16 Inch Magnesium Alloy Kids Bike with Disc Brakes and Training Wheels, Black
A black magnesium alloy frame with a disc brake at each wheel and knobbly all terrain tires. The maker rates it for riders 41.3 to 51.2 inches tall, an inseam of 20.5 to 24 inches, a saddle from 21.5 to 25 inches and 145 lb of capacity.
Two brakes, both in the hands
The pedals do not stop this one
Most 16 inch bikes still have a coaster brake, so a child can stop by pedalling backwards. This one does not. Both brakes are levers, and a child who has only ever back pedalled will roll straight through the first stop.
Practise the levers on the flat
Before the bike goes anywhere with a slope, have the child hold each lever hard enough to stop the wheel turning while standing over the frame. The maker sized the levers for a short reach, but short reach is not the same as enough grip strength, and that is worth ten minutes on a driveway.
The bike
A magnesium alloy frame in black with a disc brake at each wheel, the rear brake cable routed inside the frame, a fully enclosed chain guard and two removable training wheels.
The maker's dimensions table
The row reads: 16 inch wheels, ages 4 to 7, riders 41.3 to 51.2 inches tall, a saddle of 21.5 to 25.5 inches, an inseam of 20.5 to 24 inches and a 145 lb capacity. The drawing gives the bike as 44 inches long and 21.5 inches wide, with the bars between 25.5 and 28 inches.
Why magnesium alloy
The maker calls it lightweight, sturdy, enduring and anti-deform, and runs the brake cables inside the frame rather than along the outside. They publish no weight, so we do not claim one.
What is on this bike
Dual disc brakes
A disc at each wheel with hand levers the maker sized for small hands. There is no coaster brake on this bike.
Saddle 21.5 to 25 in
Three and a half inches of seat post, against a published inseam band of 20.5 to 24 inches.
145 lb capacity

Who is this perfect for?
Riders 41.3 to 51.2 in tall
The maker's band, with an inseam of 20.5 to 24 inches against a 21.5 inch saddle floor.
Children who can work a lever
Both brakes are hand operated and there is no coaster brake, so a child who cannot squeeze a lever has no way to stop.
Families who carry the bike
The maker sells the magnesium alloy frame on being lighter than the alternatives, though they publish no weight to prove it, so we do not quote one.
What we stand behind
- The suitable age, rider height, inseam, saddle height, handlebar height, overall size and 145 lb weight capacity here are the manufacturer's own published figures.
- 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 size table gives the saddle as 21.5 to 25.5 in while the adjustable height panel on the same listing marks it 21.5 to 25 in. The lower top figure is published here.
- The written description repeats the saddle range as the inseam size. The maker's own table gives the inseam as 20.5 to 24 in, and that is what is published.
- This bike has no coaster brake. Both brakes are hand levers, so a child who cannot yet squeeze one has no way to stop.
- No safety certification mark appears on this listing, so we claim none.
- The maker calls the frame lightweight but publishes no bike weight, so we quote none.
- Ships from our Canadian or United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
