Early Rider Belter 16" Kids Pedal Bike | 4-6 years

Super smooth, lightweight, and ergonomically perfect for growing riders. The Early Rider Belter 16" is the ideal step-up pedal bike, every detail carefully designed to inspire confidence and keep the fun rolling. Standover height is 45 cm, and the recommended age range is 4-6 years.

Perfectly scaled for growing kids. Small-diameter grips, short-reach high-power brakes, child-optimised gearing, and stable yet responsive geometry. All built specifically for little riders. Every touchpoint is refined for comfort, control, and confidence.

Low maintenance, high fun. An 8 mm belt drive replaces the traditional chain, delivering up to 20,000 km of riding with minimal upkeep and no messy oil to keep clean. Sealed cartridge bearings throughout and a 4-bearing hyperglide freehub mean more time riding and less time tinkering.

The right tyres The Belter 16" rolls on Schwalbe Billy Bonkers 2.0" tyres. These are fast-rolling, wide, and offer extra grip, ideal for urban streets, paths, grass, and light off-road. They balance speed and traction perfectly for a children's pedal bike.

Is the Early Rider Belter 16" right for my child? For many kids, the Belter 16" offers the perfect, confidence-boosting, age appropriate platform for a pedal bike. With dialled-in geometry, an ultra-light frame, and premium components throughout, it’s designed to perform from pavements to parks, gravel paths, grass, and curb jumps. If your child will venture into more aggressive off-road trails, you might also consider the Early Rider Seeker 16", which is purpose-built for more rugged terrain with disc brakes and fatter tyres.

Early Rider Brand and Ethos

Early Rider began in 2005 when founder Andy Loveland built a wooden balance bike in his shed, a simple idea sparked by a love of cycling and a desire to get kids outdoors. Since then, the brand has grown into one of the most respected names in children's bikes, known for building high-quality, beautifully designed bikes that children genuinely love to ride. At Babipur, we’re proud to be a long-standing Early Rider stockist, and as passionate cyclists ourselves, we truly understand what makes these bikes different. From toddler balance bikes to advanced pedal bikes with belt drives, every Early Rider model is made to be lightweight, smooth to ride, and sized just right for growing bodies. They’re not just scaled-down adult bikes, they’re engineered specifically for children, with attention to detail that really makes a difference. We chose them for our own children, and we’ve seen firsthand how Early Rider bikes inspire confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of cycling.

Practical Bikes, Fit For Purpose

Practical Bikes, Fit For Purpose

At Babipur, we don’t go for gimmicks. We go for quality. That’s why we choose Early Rider. Early Rider bikes are built to perform, using premium components that outlast the usual plastic-and-steel kids’ bikes. Lightweight frames, sealed bearings, and proper child-specific geometry all mean one thing, these bikes ride better. Children can go further, with more comfort and control, and they’ll want to keep riding. In a market full of gendered colours, cartoon branding, baskets and tassels, Early Rider take a different path. They just build brilliant bikes, in children’s sizes, with no fluff, no nonsense, and no compromise. Take the Belter, a lightweight pedal bike with a rust-free belt drive and sealed bearings. It rides like a dream and, when cared for, can be passed from child to child. Tyres, tubes, and parts are easy to replace, so you get longevity and great resale value too. Motivation is precious. When bikes are fit for purpose and a pleasure to ride, kids naturally want to ride them. And that’s what Early Rider delivers.
