18 Inch Retro Kids Bike with Wicker Basket, Kickstand and Training Wheels, Pink
The largest size in this retro range, in pink with a wicker basket and a kickstand. The maker gives riders 47.2 to 59.1 inches tall, an inseam of 22.5 to 25 inches, a saddle from 23.5 to 26 inches, bars from 32.5 to 34 inches and 132 lb at the seat.
This is the top of a four size range, and the point where a kids bike stops being a toy with pedals. The maker gives it a 132 lb seat capacity, the widest handlebar range in the family and a kickstand the smaller sizes do not get. What has not changed is how you choose it: the inseam band and the saddle floor decide whether it fits, and the wicker basket does not.
The bike
A solid carbon steel frame in pink with a woven front basket, a brown saddle and matching grips, a white chain guard, a kickstand and two removable training wheels. At this size the bike is closer to a small adult bicycle in proportion than to a toy.
The maker's specification table
The 18 inch row reads: riders 47.2 to 59.1 inches tall, a saddle of 23.5 to 26 inches, an inseam of 22.5 to 25 inches and a 132 lb capacity, which is the highest figure in this range. The panel also draws where each of those measurements is taken on the bike, and asks you to measure the child's inseam before buying rather than after.
Where the height comes from
The saddle covers 23.5 to 26 inches and the bars 32.5 to 34 inches, each on its own clamp. The maker photographs three saddle positions stacked so the range is visible rather than described. Set the saddle from the inseam first so both feet reach the ground flat, then raise the bars until the child's back is straight rather than folded over the front wheel.
Two ways to stop
A hand lever the maker calls lighter and easier to maintain, and a rear coaster brake reached by pedalling backwards. At 18 inches most riders can work the lever properly, which matters because the coaster brake alone locks the back wheel and the front brake is what actually shortens a stop.
What is on this bike
Saddle 23.5 to 26 in
Held by a locking clamp, and the maker photographs three stacked saddle positions to show the range.
Handlebar 32.5 to 34 in
The bars move on their own clamp, so reach and saddle can be set separately.
132 lb seat capacity
Published against this row of the maker's table.
Wicker basket and bell
A woven front basket and a bell on the bars, on a solid carbon steel frame with a brown saddle and grips.
Kickstand and two brakes
This size adds a kickstand, on top of the hand lever and the rear coaster brake.

Who is this perfect for?
Riders 47.2 to 59.1 in tall
The maker's height band for this wheel size, against an inseam of 22.5 to 25 in.
Parents who want it to look like a bike
A woven basket, a brown saddle and matching grips, rather than cartoon decals. It is a styling choice and it costs more than the plain version of the same thing.
Beginners with a grown up alongside
Two removable training wheels, a coaster brake that needs no hand strength and a hand lever for when the fingers reach.
What we stand behind
- The suitable age, rider height, inseam, saddle height, handlebar height and 132 lb seat capacity here are the manufacturer's own published figures for the 18 in.
- The manufacturer states the bike complies with ASTM and CPSIA standards, and prints ASTM and CPSC with CPSIA marks in the gallery. 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.
- Ships from our United States warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.
Frequently asked questions
Is a kickstand included?
Yes. The maker calls it a kid friendly kickstand and shows it only on the 18 inch.
What is the seat rated for?
132 lb, against 110 lb on the smaller sizes.
What rider height suits it?
47.2 to 59.1 inches, with an inseam of 22.5 to 25 inches.
Does it still come with training wheels?
Yes, two removable ones, so the same bike works before and after balance arrives.
Is the bike certified?
The maker states ASTM and CPSIA compliance and prints ASTM and CPSC with CPSIA marks in the gallery. No certificate number is published, so we quote none.
