Kid Powered Fun
Our Kids series consists of two styles of bikes. Mountain bikes for younger cyclists and 16” wheel bikes for first time riders. All four utilize the custom EDGE aluminum tubing found in our high end adult bikes. The result is a collection of unusually lightweight kids bikes which makes riding much easier and more enjoyable for you and them.
