Helping a child transition from a balance bike to their first pedal bike is a profound milestone. The Cubley 14 is meticulously designed to make this transition as simple and enjoyable as possible, without the reliance on stabilisers.
However, if you do want to fit stabilisers, the chainguard can be easily removed to allow this.
The pedals can be easily removed and reintroduced once the child is comfortable with steering and braking.
WEIGHT MATTERS
The Cubley 14 only weighs 6.12kg making this one of lightest bikes in the world for it’s price point and specification! Less weight helps smaller riders start easier, accelerate faster and handle the bike with more control.
NARROW HANDLEBAR & SHORTER STEM
The handlebar width is based on the typical shoulder width of the rider and the stem length is shorter, helping to reduce reach.
JUNIOR SPECIFIC SADDLE
The Kinder saddle is sized for smaller riders with length and width optimised, ensuring the rider position is correct for both comfort and reach.
WHEELS & TYRES
The weight of all wheel components are considered to keep them as light as possible which helps to improve steering, and acceleration. Also equipped with great all weather Kenda Small Block 8 tyres which ensure maximum grip and stability for cornering.
FRAME SIZE & SHAPE
Forme frames are made from narrow, lightweight aluminium tubing with a low step over. A compact frame ensures the rider can ride with the largest wheel possible for their size, this helps young riders to ride over much tougher terrain.
PEDALS
The pedals are carefully considered. If the platform is too long it is easy to fall into the habit of applying pressure with the heel instead of the ball of the foot, losing power and causing the foot to slip. Equally, if the pedal is too wide, the legs can become too wide apart, reducing efficiency.
