FEATURES:
Lightweight Aluminum Beautifully Crafted: The Charger is handcrafted from 6061 grade aluminium. And it's not just the parts you can see, we swap more steel and plastic for aluminium than anyone else. Aluminium has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metals. It's corrosion resistant and has a flexibility that makes it a pleasure to ride. It's also 100% recyclable. All of which makes our Charger and Big Foot models the best for your kids and for all those they're handed down to.
Roll Model: The Charger specs market leading aluminium rims and hubs to save weight and high ABEC grade sealed cartridge bearings to minimise weight and rolling resistance.
Tread Carefully: The Charger runs fast rolling 2.0” wide tyres to give 2-4 year olds the stability they need to learn, the air volume they need for comfort and the grip to tackle mixed terrain, confidently, even in the rain. Because there’s no such thing as the wrong weather. Only the wrong bike.
Designed to ride, built to upgrade: The Charger features an anatomically designed Ritchey bar and stem combo forged from super light, super strong aluminium. And the internal cable routing isn’t just a cool feature. It allows you to upgrade The Charger to a brake controlled bike as they progress. Sold separately, the light pull, short reach, Tektro rear brake upgrade kit ensures brake control comes exactly when the time is right.
Sustain-Ability: Taking materials out of the ground to make bikes isn't sustainable. Kids bikes are the worst, often unable to last even one child. Early RIder's solution? Simple, a contrary design and manufacturing mandate: 'to sustain ability'.
