“My grandson was struggling to learn on a regular bike, so I got him the Rookie 24. Best decision ever. The step-through frame and balance mode made learning stress-free, and he was pedalling confidently within days. It’s strong, stable, and looks amazing.”
MADE FOR OLDER BEGINNERS

Designed to Make Learning to Ride Easier

The Rookie 24 helps older and taller beginners learn at their own pace on one familiar bike. Start in balance mode to build control, then install the included Easy-Ride Pedal Kit when they are ready. At 8.7 kg in balance mode, it stays manageable while young riders develop confidence.

Balance First

Build the hardest riding skill before adding pedals.

Pedals Included

The Easy-Ride Pedal Kit is ready for the next milestone.

Kid-Specific Fit

Child-sized controls and stable geometry feel natural.

One Familiar Bike

Keep a familiar frame, then enjoy two-speed automatic gearing with no manual shifter.

Kidvelo Rookie 24 Overview
Kidvelo Rookie 24 Frame
BUILT AROUND YOUNG RIDERS

Every Detail Has a Purpose

A 6061 aluminium frame, proper child-friendly brakes, 24-inch pneumatic tyres and adjustable fit work together to make learning comfortable, controlled and confidence-inspiring.

Aluminium Frame

Strong, corrosion-resistant construction with a durable painted finish.

Front & Rear Brakes

Short-reach levers help smaller hands learn proper braking.

Air-Filled BMX Tyres

24-inch tyres add grip, cushioning and stability.

Kid-Specific Geometry

Stable proportions support balance, steering and pedalling.

Comfort Components

Comfort grips and a padded saddle suit developing riders.

Tool-Free Seat Adjustment

The alloy clamp makes growing-room changes quick and simple.

SIZE GUIDE

Is the Rookie 24 the Right Size?

Measure your child’s inner leg rather than relying on age alone. The Rookie 24 is designed for riders with an inseam between 62–84 cm, with the current saddle height range to confirm.

Image Placeholder: Rookie 24 Sizing
Recommended Age9–13+ Years
Inner Leg62–84 cm
Rider Limit120 kg
Wheel Size24"
Balance Weight8.7 kg
QUICK FIT CHECK

How Should the Rookie 24 Fit?

Feet Flat

Both feet should reach the ground comfortably in balance mode.

Slight Knee Bend

A small bend helps children push, glide and stop confidently.

Natural Reach

The bars and brake levers should be easy to reach without stretching.

Room to Grow

Keep useful saddle adjustment above the starting position.

Still unsure about size?

Send us your child’s age and inner leg measurement and we can help confirm the best Kidvelo size.

Kidvelo Rookie 24 Pedal
LIGHTER BIKE. EASIER LEARNING.

Why Lightweight Makes a Big Difference

At 8.7 kg in balance mode and 10.6 kg in pedal mode, the Rookie 24 keeps both learning stages manageable. Less bike weight helps children steer, recover and stop with greater control.

Easier to Balance

Young riders have less weight to manage as they glide.

Easier to Manoeuvre

Starting, steering and recovering feel more natural.

Easier for Parents Too

The aluminium build is simpler to lift into the car or carry home.

THE KIDVELO WAY

Balance First — Add Pedals When They’re Ready

The Rookie 24 separates balance from pedalling so children can focus on one skill at a time. They first develop balance, steering, braking and control, then add the included pedal kit without changing bikes.

Kidvelo Rookie 24 Balance
THEIR RIDING JOURNEY

Four Simple Steps to Confident Pedalling

01 · STAGE ONE

Walk

Learn how the bike feels with both feet securely on the ground.

02 · STAGE TWO

Glide

Take longer strides and lift the feet to discover balance.

03 · STAGE THREE

Balance, Steer ,Brake

Build reliable control before introducing the pedal kit.

04 · STAGE FOUR

Add Pedals

Keep the familiar fit and handling while learning to pedal.

Learn Balance First. Pedalling Becomes the Easy Part.

No training-wheel phase and no unfamiliar replacement bike — just a natural next step on the Rookie 24 they already know.

TWO LEARNING STAGES

One Bike. Two Ways to Ride.

Begin with the drivetrain removed for a clean balance-bike setup. When gliding, steering and braking are second nature, install the included Easy-Ride Pedal Kit and keep the same familiar bike.
