          Buying a Cannondale kids bike

          PLAY FILM
          It all begins with balance.
          Balance bikes are the fast track to bike riding success. This little fun machine will teach kids to balance and steer, so that it’s second nature when they move up to a pedal bike.
          Yup. It's a Cannondale
          From its beautiful, lightweight aluminum frame, to its one-of-a-kind Lil' Lefty single-sided fork, this little ripper makes a statement like only a Cannondale can.
          Slow down to speed up
          A rear hand brake adds stopping power and teaches skills they'll need as the move to bigger bikes.
          Details make the difference

          Wide, grippy tires smooth the sidewalk. Comfy grips and a mini brake lever are sized right for little hands. And the bright, bold colors scream fun.

          Kid-Correct Features

          Kid-Correct Weight

          Is no more than 30 to 40-percent of a child’s weight, because a light bike is easier and more fun to ride.

          Kid-Correct Standover

          Makes it easier for kids to get on and off the bike.

          Kid-Correct Reach

          Keeps kids in comfortable control of the bike.

          Kid-Correct Gearing

          Lower gearing and shorter crankarms are right for shorter, less powerful legs, with a narrower Q-Factor (width) for a more natural stance. All this makes it easier for kids to get moving and to stay moving.

          Kid-Correct Parts

          Sized to fit kids’ anatomies, with smaller handlebars and grips, kid-specific seats and pedals sized for kids’ feet. Hand brakes are paired with coaster brakes on single speed bikes so kids can build the skills they will need for their next bike.

          Kid-Correct Colors

          Bright, fresh and eye-catching, because for kids, a fun bike is one that looks great.
