Early Rider Classic

The classic in the heart of Early Rider. In 2005, we set ourselves the goal of embodying the spirit of adventure and promoting a lifestyle that counters the growing culture of children glued to screens. We simply imagine our boys rolling away with a blanket on their bike racks, leaving behind the kids addicted to playing video games indoors. 

However, what we discovered was a design whose function was even more important than its statement of intent. We could have just gone all out and called it Easy Rider.

Its slightly longer wheelbase gives it stability, and its more relaxed head tube ensures the bike stays on track even when wobbling. Its short but wide rear tire keeps the seat height low, lowers the center of gravity, and makes balancing so easy that even the youngest riders can get on and ride.

This is a bike that offers the freedom of independent mobility faster than any other we produce, yet due to its larger frame and free-rolling 14-inch front wheel, it is equally suitable for the growing explorer venturing further afield. And thanks to our SuperPly™ construction, it lasts long enough to withstand many journeys yet is still worthy of wall mounting. 

Recommended for children aged 2 to 5.
