OVERVIEW
![drop-down-arrow-icon-speedlab]()
THE PEDAL BIKE TO GET YOUR YOUNGSTER RIDING WITHOUT SIDE WHEELS.
Designed around the needs of youngsters getting their first pedal-driven bikes. Small lightweight frames mean riders can easily stand over the frame, get their feet on the ground, helping to build their confidence. We believe that being a kid, should involve fun and be careless so we have used hard-wearing, scratch-resistant decals to withstand the rough use at playtime. To keep fingers and clothing out of danger, this bike is fitted with a chainguard, giving parents peace of mind. Learning to ride couldn’t be easier with the Skid 16. The easy ride geometry means that as soon as your kid is ready to give riding without side wheels a try, the Skid will be easy to balance, and help him or her along in their riding journey.
EASY RIDE GEOMETRY
Skid is designed to be a stable bike for young kids inspiring their confidence and improving balance and riding skills. Skid 16 also comes with lightweight training wheels, so even if completely new to riding, youngsters can focus on pedaling and get going quickly.
SIZE SPECIFIC CONTACT POINTS
Skid is finished with an age specific kids saddle, smaller, narrower bars, smaller diameter grips, reach adjustable bars, reach-adjustable brakes and a shorter crankset with smaller pedals - all to suit smaller rider body geometry perfectly.
