Advice:
Helping your child or grandchild to transition to their first pedal bike is a profound milestone. The world is their oyster. The Cubley 14 is meticulously designed to make this transition as simple and enjoyable as possible, without the reliance on stabilisers.
However, if you do want to fit stabilisers, the chain guard can be easily removed to allow this.
Pedals can be introduced once the child is comfortable with steering and braking if you wish to use it as a balance bike first providing they are tall enough for their feet to touch the ground.
A balance bike is usually a youngsters first foray into the world of riding and they sit on the saddle with their feet on the ground and paddle along a bit like Fred Flintstone!
Once confident, you simply add the pedals supplied.
WEIGHT MATTERS
The Cubley 14 only weighs 6.12 kg making this one of lightest bikes in the world for its price point and specification! Less weight helps smaller riders start easier, accelerate faster and handle the bike with more control.
NARROW HANDLEBAR & SHORTER STEM
The handlebar width is based on the typical shoulder width of the rider and the stem length is shorter, helping to reduce reach.
JUNIOR SPECIFIC SADDLE
The Kinder saddle is sized for smaller riders with length and width optimised, ensuring the rider position is correct for both comfort and reach.
WHEELS & TYRES
The weight of all wheel components are considered to keep them as light as possible which helps to improve steering, and acceleration. Also equipped with great all weather Kenda Small Block 8 tyres which ensure maximum grip and stability for cornering.
FRAME SIZE & SHAPE
Forme frames are made from narrow, lightweight aluminium tubing with a low step over. A compact frame ensures the rider can ride with the largest wheel possible for their size, this helps young riders to ride over much rougher terrain.
PEDALS
The pedals are carefully considered. If the platform is too long it is easy to fall into the habit of applying pressure with the heel instead of the ball of the foot, losing power and causing the foot to slip. Equally, if the pedal is too wide, the legs can become too wide apart, reducing efficiency.
