TECHNICAL INFORMATIONS
A Decathlon innovation for learning without stabilisers:EASY SWITCH.
To teach children to ride a bike, the balance bike stage is a great accelerator to master balance!
Our 2-in-1 innovation allows you to remove and install pedals in 10 seconds!
At the beginning of the learning process, you can offer them the balance bike mode: they'll learn about their new bike, braking, balance, etc.
Then you can offer them the bike mode by mounting the pedals and cranks.
No need for tools, let's go!
Stop Easy innovation: a patented braking system designed for children.
More accessible brakes and a more comfortable grip are the main benefits of our Stop Easy system. For more movement, the brake lever is pressed parallel to the handlebars. Whilst being progressive, this innovative brake lever also provides 30% more braking power compared to a conventional brake lever. An innovation from our B'Twin team, loved by both parents and children.
Frame material and shape
This steel frame has been optimised so as not to be unnecessarily heavy for a child's body type, and we're proud that our research has enabled us to make this bike 1.5 kg lighter than our previous bikes for 3-5 year olds, without affecting its robustness.
The shape of the frame gives children a feeling of confidence: it makes it easier to get on or off the saddle, without the risk of bumping into the frame.
The bike that grows with your child!
The saddle height can be adjusted from 41.5 cm to 52.5 cm using a BTR spanner (Allen 5), which corresponds with a height window of 20 cm (90 cm to 110 cm).
The handlebar is also adjustable by 4 cm.
WARNING: Do not exceed the maximum recommended height on the seat tube and handlebar (marking engraved on the stems)
Stabiliser information
Can stabilisers be added?Yes, if your child needs them. Our 14" B'Twin stabilisers are compatible with all our bikes in this size. (to install them, you'll need a size 5 Allen key, not included)
It's good to know that according to several studies, apprentice cyclists will more easily and quickly switch to a bicycle if they master balance in balance bike mode (without pedals).
Wheel / tyre info
These tyres are equipped with an inner tube (inflatable).
Their shape and pattern give them good efficiency without sacrificing grip on everyday surfaces (roads, paths, lawns, etc.).
The Honeycomb design on the tyres is exclusive to B'TWIN.
Housing information
To prevent children from putting their fingers where they shouldn't, the mechanical elements of the drive train (crank, chain, freewheel, etc.) are surrounded by the guard. It also prevents the risk of laces getting caught and clothes being dirtied.
The rear of the housing can be easily removed for repairs or re-tensioning the chain!
Housing material: Plastic.
Accessory information
What accessories are supplied with the bike?A bell, front and rear lights To increase visibility, this bike has wheel reflectors (reflective plates attached to the spokes) and pedal reflectors.
To keep the bike and its paintwork in good condition, we advise you to fit it with a stand (ref. 8872192).
