Andrin" - the children's bike project by a Swiss engineer

If the standard children's bikes aren't enough for your son, you can do it yourself: Marco Quinter has been working as an engineer in the mountain bike industry for over 15 years and has developed a 16-inch bike for his son based on his own ideas. The result is impressive, and Quinter is already looking into producing a small series.

Marco Quinter runs "Quinter Engineering GmbH", an independent design office for the mechanical engineering and lightweight construction industry. In particular, he has dedicated himself to the topic of two-wheelers. As "hidden engineers", his office has been supplying well-known bike brands from Germany and abroad with innovative solutions and services for over 15 years. With such a background, it is clear that you don't settle for the first best solution - on the contrary. Quinter even says that there is currently no children's bike on the market that meets his requirements. That's why he has developed a bike for his son that uncompromisingly and uniquely meets the needs of children in every detail.
