FirstBIKE Features

A mix of STREET & CROSS models is shown.

Safety Handgrips prevent hands from slipping off the handlebars protect hands as well as the furniture, floors and belongings [ top ]
Steering Stop The frame & fork design restricts the handlebar from turning fully, preventing it from jack-knifing. This safety feature provides children an easier and safer ride, as well as protecting them from getting caught in, or under, the bike. GFR Construction The frame, fork, handlebar, seatpost and mudguards are manufactured from glass fibre reinforced (GFR) polyamide. The combination of advanced composite materials and state-of the-art plastic injection technology achieves an extremely strong, lightweight and highly durable finished product. Your FirstBIKE will not dent, chip, crack or splinter, yet it will flex just enough to provide a comfortable ride on bumpy surfaces. [ top ]
Seat ergonomically designed cushioned 100% waterproof [ top ]
Seat-knob Ergonomic star-knob allows instant and easy adjustment of seat height - continuously adjustable over a 10cm range. [ top ]
Reflectors A reflector on each side of the frame and one on the front fork enhance visibility and safety. [ top ]
Brake CROSS & STREET models are available with SAFETY STOP. Specially designed for FirstBIKE, this rear drum brake provides additional safety for the rider. From around 30 months, a child can take full advantage of SAFETY STOP and develop further the skills required to ride a real bicycle. Teflon cable housing and a child's brake lever combined with the easy-to-pull drum brake design make the brake easy to operate, even for small children's hands. The enclosed mechanism is protected from the weather and provides no temptation for small fingers. SAFETY STOP will require little or no maintenance over its lifetime. [ top ]
Wheels 12.5" hollow-spoke GFR polyamide wheels. Sealed cartridge bearings. These wheels are extremely rigid on account of the hollow spokes. Far stronger and more true than conventional spoked wheels, the smooth design has no sharp edges, making them safe as well as easy to clean. [ top ]
Tyres STREET & CROSS models: 12.5" pneumatic road (STREET) or off-road (CROSS) profile tyres with Schraeder (car-type) valve. Quick to inflate, with good traction and comfortable suspension. STREET PU: 12.5" solid polyurethane ('PU') road profile tyres (not shown). Maintenance free, puncture-proof. All tyres are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. [ top ]
