Juvenile bike with freewheel - Velociped cycling holidays

Conditions

Even the youngest cyclists want to get around quickly. That's why we rely on children's and youth bikes from Connway Bikes, which are in no way inferior to the models for adults. With 20 and 24-inch tyres and high-quality Shimano equipment, little riders will be ‘proud as punch’ when they effortlessly reach their destination.

For safe handling of the Velociped touring bike, at least the tips of the toes should touch the ground from the saddle. We therefore also indicate the height of the saddle above the ground so that you can compare it with your child's usual bike at home or measure the length of their legs.

Our experience shows: Experienced children from around the age of nine can cover the same distances as adults on high-quality bikes. However, it is advisable to plan varied breaks. A suitable bike is the basic prerequisite for ensuring that young and old can enjoy the bike tour safely and relaxed.

Technical Details

Our youth bike combines riding fun with a robust design. A sturdy aluminium frame, a comfortable Spyder saddle from Selle Royal and straight touring handlebars ensure comfort and control. The intuitive gears make handling particularly easy: while the youth bikes are equipped with 1x8-speed derailleur gears, the children's bikes have 1x7-speed derailleur gears. This means that even short off-road excursions are no problem.

Our Velociped children's and youth bikes are ideal for young riders aged nine to 14 years and are suitable for a height of 120 to 145 cm.

Frame size and weight

The sturdy frame with its reinforced tubes gives the bike a cool look and ensures a pleasantly smooth ride. The lowered top tube offers sufficient freedom of movement if you need to get off spontaneously.

The 24-inch models are suitable for children from 130 cm tall and an inside leg length of 65 cm, with a saddle height of 67 cm.

Our 20-inch children's bikes are suitable for children from a height of 120 cm and an inside leg length of 53 cm. The minimum height of the saddle, measured from the ground, is 54 cm.

With our fully equipped Velociped children's and youth bikes, we place particular emphasis on stability and safety - without exceeding the 10-kilogram mark.

Gear shift

The modern 7-speed derailleur gears on children's bikes and the 8-speed derailleur gears on youth bikes from Shimano are impressively easy to use. A smooth-running gear lever or twist shifter on the right-hand side of the handlebars makes changing gears effortless. The gear ratios are optimised for children so that both city rides and light off-road excursions can be mastered with ease. This gear system offers a perfect balance of comfort and control and enables a safe and fun ride - ideal for beginners.

Brakes and brake levers

If you're travelling fast, you need to be able to rely on your brakes. That's why our children's bikes are equipped with high-quality V-brakes.

As even the best brakes are useless if they are out of reach, the brake levers can be individually adjusted in reach. They are specially designed for small hands and enable safe, effortless braking. This allows young riders to maintain full control of their bike at all times.

Handle bar and saddle

Our straight touring handlebars ensure an ergonomic hand position and different grip positions. It sits comfortably in the hand and offers sufficient space for accessories such as a speedometer or a Klickfix adapter for a handlebar bag.

The comfortable gel saddle on our Velociped children's and youth bikes offers maximum comfort. The seat post can be adjusted to the millimetre, so that even smaller riders can find an optimum riding position.

Wheels

The 20 and 24-inch wheels run particularly smoothly on sealed hubs. With 50 mm wide tyres, our children's bikes are ideally equipped for adventures, even off-road. The tread pattern ensures optimum grip on uneven surfaces, while the low rolling resistance makes for an easy ride on tarmac roads.

Thanks to the Nexus hubs and the ‘Big Apple’ tyres manufactured by Schwalbe, our children's bikes are real all-rounders. The wide contact surface improves grip and reduces the risk of slipping. The wide tyres also dampen vibrations, which makes riding more comfortable.

Equipment that complies with the legal requirements of the German Road Traffic Registration Ordinance (StVZO)

Our bikes fulfil the legal requirements of the StVZO (German Road Traffic Registration Ordinance) and are equipped with reliable LED lighting with a hub dynamo. A rear light with integrated reflector provides additional safety, while further reflectors and a bell round off the equipment.
Our bikes are fitted with mudguards to protect them from splash water and dirt. A practical kickstand makes parking easier. In order to reduce weight and maximise freedom of movement, we have deliberately dispensed with a pannier rack.
With our Velociped children's and youth bikes, young cyclists enjoy a safe, comfortable and, above all, fun riding experience - whether on the road or off-road.
