Kids Trail 16

If you’re just starting out, this little machine is the perfect transition from a balance bike or tricycle. If you’re already pedaling, this bike will up your game everywhere from sidewalk to dirt tracks. Scooter-style training wheels are quiet and reliable as you’re finding your groove. And the tool-free design makes them easy to remove once you’ve found it (and easy to re-install if you lose it again). A single-speed drivetrain is simple, so it’s easier for kids who are just learning to ride to focus on finding their balance and learning how to safely ride the bike.

A full-coverage chain-guard keeps pants and fingers away from the chain, and a fitted stem cover makes mess-ups a little less painful. With one-speed simplicity, a coaster brake and an easy-to-use hand brake, this lightweight ripper is perfect for building skills and having fun.
