Its suitable for children around 98 104cm tall, with its proportions and components specifically chosen for smaller riders.Its aluminium alloy construction keeps the overall bike weight down to just 3.7kg. Thats particularly important on a balance bike, making it easier for children to push, steer and manoeuvre without having to handle unnecessary weight.The frame uses a single down tube construction to provide plenty of standover clearance. This makes it easier for children to get on and off the bike and comfortably put both feet on the ground while theyre developing their balance and confidence.With no pedals or gears to manage, children can concentrate on the fundamentals of riding. They can propel the bike using their feet, coast as their balance improves and quickly put their feet down whenever they need extra stability.A rear V brake introduces braking before the move to a pedal bike. The hand operated brake lever features adjustable reach, allowing it to be positioned closer to the handlebar for smaller hands. This gives children the opportunity to learn how to use a brake lever and control their speed from an early stage.The 12 inch aluminium alloy spoked wheels are fitted with wide, air filled tube type pneumatic tyres. Their extra cushioning helps reduce the effect of small bumps and vibrations, while providing useful grip and comfort as children build confidence on their first rides.Boardman has also scaled the contact points specifically for younger riders. The smaller Boardman saddle, handlebars and grips are better suited to little hands and bodies than adult sized components, making the bike more comfortable and manageable.A steering restrictor is fitted as standard to limit excessive handlebar rotation. This adds an extra level of reassurance while children are still learning how their steering inputs affect the bike.Theres a useful feature for parents too. A moulded carry handle is positioned underneath the rear of the saddle, giving you a comfortable place to pick up the 3.7kg bike when your childs riding has finished for the day.With its lightweight aluminium construction, low standover height, pneumatic tyres and child friendly brake lever, the Boardman JNR Balance Bike is designed to make those first experiences on two wheels straightforward and enjoyable, while developing skills that can make the eventual transition to a pedal bike easier....Read More...»»
