What Makes A Kidvelo Bike Different?
Kidvelo is a new Australian brand on the kids’ bike scene. Kidvelo makes a next generation of premium balance bikes for kids 2 to 8 years of age that have a ton of smart features and designs to help little ones ride sooner, better, and safer.
1. Kid Specific Geometry
The Perfect fit gets your little one riding sooner, better, safer.
Kids don’t just need smaller bikes. They need different bikes. With all the right proportions. They need smaller grips. They need less distance between the pedals. They need shorter crank arms and a low center of gravity. All kidvelo bikes are designed for kids, from the ground up.
2. Unique Convertible Bike Design
A Game-Changing Balance Bike that Converts to a Child First Pedal Bike.
The Rookie 14″ and 18″ bikes quickly and easily converts from a balance bike to a first pedal bike by simply adding the included easy-ride pedal kit. Transitioning from balance mode to pedals, and back again is accomplished in mere minutes for your child’s instant riding success! Plus, since it retains the same geometry and handling between modes of operation, the child’s learning lag from balance to pedal is virtually non-existent.
3. Lightweight Design
At Kidvelo we believe that a lighter weight bike is a safer bike.
A lighter weight bike is easier to control. And when spills happen, with a lighter weight bike there is less mass involved in the spill. We think that’s a good thing. All Kidvelo frames and rigid forks are made of lightweight heat treated 6061 aircraft grade aluminum alloy. Kidvelo cranks, hubs, rims, handlebars and brake levers are all constructed of lightweight aluminum.
4. Built Kid Tough
Kids are tough. And they aren’t easy on their bikes.
So Kidvelo bikes are built to be tough. From the durable, enclosed, reinforced drop outs, to the ultra rigid aluminum frame and forks. Kidvelo’s bike frames feature the types of robust design details found on BMX race bikes and high performance mountain bikes.
5. Kids Sized Components
Every component was carefully selected to provide the best riding experience for kids and excellent value.
Everything on a Kidvelo bike is genuine. The Rookie 12 balance bike has no brakes as little ones only need to focus on balance at 2-3years. Unlike coaster brakes, hand brakes allow the rider to apply brakes even when the rider’s feet are off the pedals. So the rider can get feet off the pedals and brace for a stop without sacrificing braking ability. Kidvelo Rookie 14 and Rookie 18 bikes feature brake levers sized for kids with adjustable reach so brakes levers can be dialed in for each young rider’s hands.
6. RoundedD Axle Bolts
No scrapes and bruises here.
The Rookie range of balance bikes feature rounded axle bolts. Ordinarily axle nuts have harsh sharp edges that jut out from the axles. These bolts don’t. It’s one less place for kids to scrape themselves.
7. Intergrated Built In Footrest Design
Footrests allow for gliding and tricks in balance bike mode.
All Kidvelo bikes feature integrated footrests into the balance bike frame to allow for advanced riding as your child progresses on their riding journey. We believe having integrated footrests designed into the frame of our bikes is a key feature as it teaches kids to place their feet on a platform when gliding down a hill and preparing them for riding a bike with pedals. This is why our unique Rookie 14 and Rookie 18 Balance bikes with pedals is the perfect learning bike for your child.
8. Quick Adjust Keeps Up With Growing Kids
All Kidvelo bikes feature quick-adjust seat post clamps.
Seat height can be adjusted quickly, easily, and without tools. So when kids are ready for a higher seat, you can accommodate them in seconds. The lever is specially designed to wrap tightly around the seat tube and stay out of the way of young pedaling legs.
9. Internally Routed Cables
Keeps it clean and safe.
All Kidvelo bikes feature internal cable routing. This design keeps the cables away from young riders fingers reducing the risk of damage that could impede brake performance. It also keeps young riders hands and legs safe from getting tangled or poked by any loose or frayed cables.
10. Third-Party Tested And Approved
Your childs safey and happiness is paramount to us.
All substrates and surface coatings on Kidvelo bikes are tested for lead and all composites are tested for phthalates. All testing is performed by an independent accredited third party laboratory.
11. Cool Kid Friendly Bike Colours
Designed by kids for kids, our bike designs are the coolest bikes on the block.
Our bike colors and designs were developed by kids, for kids, to make our bikes the coolest bikes on the block. Our Rookie bikes uses water-transfer decals with a clear coat finish, giving the whole bike a polished shine.
12. World Class Bike Warranties
All Kidvelo frames and rigid forks are backed by our 5 year limited warranty. Ride it with confidence and pass it down.
