Buying a Cannondale kids bike
PLAY FILM
Giddy-up!
If you’re just starting out, this little machine is the perfect transition from a balance bike or tricycle. If you’re already pedaling, this bike will up your game everywhere from sidewalk to dirt tracks.
Simplicity
Scooter-style training wheels are quiet and reliable as you’re finding your groove. And the tool-free design makes them easy to remove once you’ve found it (and easy to re-install if you lose it again).
Single-Speed
A single-speed drivetrain is simple, so it’s easier for kids who are just learning to ride to focus on finding their balance and learning how to safely ride the bike.
Sensible
A full-coverage chainguard keeps pants and fingers away from the chain, and a fitted stem cover makes mess-ups a little less painful.
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.
