EARLY RIDER Belter 16 children’s bike
EARLY RIDER Belter 16 is a revolutionary children’s bicycle designed to make the first pedalling experience light, safe, and inspiring. This model is a clear example of how thoughtful design, engineering, and a deep understanding of children’s needs can completely change the way a child discovers cycling. It is not just a bicycle – it is a platform for building confidence, independence, and the joy of movement.
Unique design and style – minimalist premium kids’ bike design
The Belter 16 design is based on a modern, minimalist premium children’s bike style that parents actively search for: clean lines, natural aluminium finish, and perfectly matched components. This aesthetic is not only beautiful – it is functional. The legendary Early Rider geometry ensures a natural, stable riding position that helps children intuitively understand balance and movement.
The bike is designed to allow a child to:
-
feel safe and independent,
-
develop coordination and self-confidence,
-
explore the surrounding world, nature, and movement possibilities,
-
think creatively and freely – without unnecessary limitations.
Practical use and benefits for both children and parents
Thanks to the Gates PowerGrip belt drive, pedalling is exceptionally smooth and quiet. No oil, no dirt – children’s clothes stay clean, and parents don’t need to worry about maintenance. The belt does not rust, does not stretch, and lasts for years – the same technology is used in car engines.
How to choose correctly and the impact on the child
Belter 16 is ideal for children who are ready to transition from a balance bike to a pedal bike. The especially low standover height of 45 cm allows the child to place their feet securely on the ground, significantly reducing fear and speeding up the learning process.
A correctly chosen, lightweight, and ergonomic bicycle:
-
encourages a positive attitude towards movement,
-
strengthens muscles and sense of balance,
-
develops independence and self-confidence,
-
creates long-term interest in an active lifestyle.
