Meet the ultimate 14” kids’ bike – super lightweight with a genius carbon belt drive, perfect for adventures on tarmac, gravel, grass and dirt. To help kids ages 3-5 years master pedals faster. The Belter 14” bike gives our youngest pedallers everything they need to progress. It features a grease-free Gates Carbon Belt drivetrain for low maintenance and long-lasting durability.
FEATURES:
Super Lightweight Aluminum: We use 6061-grade aluminium in our bikes. It's fantastic material. Strong yet light, weatherproof and super robust. It’s also a responsive material transferring more power from the pedals to the wheels. In real terms, this means it’s easier to pedal further for longer helping little ones practise their newly acquired skills for longer before fatigue kicks in.
Geometry to get kids moving: With kid-friendly geometry, this bike prioritises comfort and control, so young riders avoid quick-tired legs, sore arms, and awkward descents. We’ve given the Belter short rear stays for manoeuvrability. A relaxed head angle to safely roll over bumps and a precisely chosen handlebar position, high enough to be comfortable but low enough to optimise uphill pedal efficiency.
Little Lever, Big stopping Power: The Belter 14” features powerful, age specific Tektro V brakes with ultra short reach levers and light-pull actuation, making braking easy even for the smallest hands. Braking feedback is smooth and responsive, helping little ones learn what smooth stopping feels like, right from the start. The all-aluminium lever construction ensures the brakes aren’t at risk should the bike be dropped to the ground.
Wheels that reset expectations: The Belter wheelset is built for sustained performance, helping little legs travel further and cope with more obstacles over and again. Coupled with super lightweight aluminium rims and cartridge bearing throughout, you can look forward to more of the riding you love, and less of the maintenance you don’t.
Tyres that won't throw them off track: The Belter runs2”, fast rolling tyres as standard, so that developing riding skills is made easier, safer and more enjoyable than the 1.5" tyres typically found on kid's bikes. Their extra volume and grip provide added control over the lumps and bumps and give the cushioning that makes riding more enjoyable.
Touchpoints that elevate control: Every one of The Belter’s touchpoints, be that the bars, saddle, pedals or grips has been anatomically designed to properly fit and function for super small riders. Ritchey Logic have been at the forefront of component design for the past 50 years. We’ve collaborated with them for over a decade, producing some of best age specific components to ever grace a kids’ bike.
