Lightweight construction also for children
Do mom or dad ride a lightweight carbon bike and enjoy how agile the bike climbs on every uphill? Then these parents can now give their offspring the same feeling and get an agile ride. Not made of carbon, but still really light: the "Junior" bikes from Zurich-based bike manufacturer Urban Rider set a real lightweight benchmark for children's bikes at 5.9 kg including pedals.

Quality down to the last detail
The bike is based on a lightweight aluminum frame, 16-inch tires with a width of 1.5 inches and, as a special treat, an original belt drive from Gates Carbon Drive. The saddle height can be adjusted from 48 to 58 cm and the riser handlebars are also height-adjustable. With V-brakes and brake levers from Tektro, an A-head headset with sealed bearings and aluminum pedals with a CroMo axle, attention is paid to good quality, even for parts that are often neglected on children's bikes.

The "Junior" speedster is available in five cheeky colors that should appeal to both girls and boys. According to the manufacturer, the ideal age for "Junior" pilots is around 3.5 to 6.5 years, an exact age and size chart can be found on the Urban Rider website.

New also via specialist retailers
Until now, the entry-level bike specialist Urban Rider has marketed the children's bikes via its headquarters in Zurich and two pick-up points in Basel and Gossau. The distribution specialist Element Sports is now on board. It offers the "Junior" children's bikes to Swiss specialist retailers at resale conditions from stock.
