Conditions
Juniors also wish to get along speedy. We have juvenile bikes available that don't fall short compared to those for the adults: with 24 inch tyre size and 21 gear dérailleur, every child is 'as bold as brass' and won't fail its destination - be it the promised ice cream shop or the swimming pool in the next overnight location. In our experience, trained children from approx. 9 years on cycle the same distances on good bikes as adults do. Only some more varied breaks should be planned beforehand.
The right bicycle is indispensable for guaranteeing safe and relaxed tours to children of all ages. We help the young braves to estimate whether they have grown enough to ride the green Velociped juvenil bike. These are the facts:
Recommendation: For a safe use of the Velociped tourer, at least both tiptoes should go from the saddle to the ground. We, therefore, also state here the saddle height aboveground. Thus enabling you to compare with the accustomed bicycle at home or to take measurement of the length of leg, respectively. In our experience, juniors should have a length of leg of at least ca. 62 cm (measured innerleg from crotch to heel).
Technical Details
On our juvenile bikes the fun factor is built right in: the robust structure with gel seat, sturdy aluminium frame and straight tourer handlebars with easy-to-use, modern 24-speed dérailleur gear shift even allows young cycling enthusiasts to go “off piste” onto uneven ground. The Velociped juvenile bike is suitable for ages 9 to 14 and heights 120 to 145 cm.
