At just 6.9kg, the base 16 is amongst the lightest bikes in the world. It's designed for kids from the ground up. With a low, stable geometry and no pedal / coaster brake, it's safe, easy to ride and effortlessly fun.

Easy to ride

With a low and stable geometry, a lightweight, kid-centric design, and the absence of a coaster brake to simplify balancing and starting, the base 16 is designed to be the easiest bike to ride.

Lightweight, only 6.9kg

At just 6.9 kg, the base 16 is an incredibly light children's bike. This makes it easy for kids to start, stop and control, boosting their confidence and reducing fatigue.

For four or five year olds, even a small difference in weight can significantly impact their confidence and enjoyment. Plus, it’s lighter for parents to carry!

No pedal / coaster brake

Equipped with two hand brakes instead of a pedal / coaster brake, the base 16 allows kids to backpedal for balance and to find the ideal starting pedal position.

Grows with them

Designed with growing boys and girls in mind, the seat is fully adjustable and can be easily raised or lowered using the quick-release mechanism. Like an adult bike, it also allows forward and backward adjustments and can be tilted.

The handlebars can be rotated to optimise and adjust the reach and height as your child grows.

Designed specifically for young kids

The base 16 is meticulously designed from the ground up to cater to the unique needs of young riders. It features a low, stable geometry, micro-reach brake levers, small hand grips, shorter cranks, and a narrow Q-factor.

This makes the bicycle much easier to push off, balance, control and stop. This means more enjoyable, safe and confidence-boosting rides.

Long lasting and durable

The base 16 is made with durable materials like stainless steel spokes with brass spoke-nipples, an aluminium frame and fork, a fully sealed bottom bracket with steel cups, and a semi-integrated threadless headset.

Combined with premium components like Tektro brakes, Kenda tires, ProWheel cranks, and a KMC chain, the base 16 is made to last—perfect for passing down to younger siblings or reselling later on.
