This range publishes its weight capacity as a band, 77 to 88 lb on the 14 inch and 121 to 132 lb on the 18. A band is not a limit, and reading the top of it as the limit is how a bike ends up carrying more than it was built for.

We print both figures and treat the lower one as the working limit, so the 14 inch is a 77 lb bike on this page rather than an 88 lb one. If your child is near the top of the band, the next wheel size up starts where this one stops.

The bike

A carbon steel frame in light blue with a wicker basket on the bars, a white saddle, cream coloured air tires and two removable training wheels.

The maker's table, and the bike's own size

The 14 inch row reads: riders 37.4 to 43.3 inches tall, an inseam of 19 to 21.5 inches, a saddle of 19 to 23.5 inches and a capacity of 77 to 88 lb. The same panel measures the bike at 41 inches long and 20 inches wide, so you know whether it fits the hallway before it arrives.

Four and a half inches of seat

The saddle runs 19 to 23.5 inches, and the handlebar moves about an inch and a half. That is a lot of seat travel for this size, so the bike stays right through more than one summer.

Four and a half inches of travel, which is a wide range for this wheel size.

The maker publishes this as a range rather than a single number. Plan around the lower figure.

The maker states the wicker basket can be taken off if it is not wanted.

A hand lever built for a short reach and a rear coaster brake, chain fully enclosed.

A bell on the bars and a fully enclosed chain guard. The maker does not call out reflectors on this size, so we do not claim any.

The maker's height band for this wheel size, against an inseam of 19 to 21.5 in.

The wicker basket holds the flowers and the leaves, and it comes off again when the child decides baskets are for babies.

The overall size is published: 41 in long, 20 in wide, 27.1 to 28.7 in high, which is more than most listings at this price will tell you.

What we stand behind

• The suitable age, rider height, inseam, saddle height, weight capacity and overall size here are the manufacturer's own published figures for the 14 in.
• No helmet is included. A helmet belongs on every ride, and eight Canadian provinces have helmet legislation, three of them for riders under 18.
• This is a bike for supervised riding on paths, driveways and parks, never on a road.
• The weight capacity is published as a range, 77 to 88 lb. Plan around the lower number.
• The handlebar adjustment is marked 1.5 in on the maker's own panel and described as within 1.6 in in their written text. The smaller figure is published here.
• No safety certification mark appears on this listing, so we claim none.
• Ships from a Canadian warehouse, free shipping over $150, and 14 day returns unused in the original packaging.

What rider does the 14 inch fit?

37.4 to 43.3 inches tall with an inseam of 19 to 21.5 inches.

What is the weight capacity?

The maker publishes 77 to 88 lb as a range. We treat 77 lb as the working figure.

Does it have reflectors?

The maker does not call out reflectors on the 14 inch, so we do not claim any. The 16 and 18 inch listings do show them.

Can the basket be removed?

Yes, the maker states the basket can be taken off if it is not wanted.
