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 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.
