Early Rider Belter 14 Kids Bike

Standover Height: 36.5cm

Age range: 3-5 years

Weight: 5.5kg

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. Constructed from lightweight, robust 6061-grade aluminium, it offers power transfer and comfort at an astounding 5.5kg. The bike's geometry ensures easy handling and control, while age-specific Tektro V brakes provide safe stopping. The 2” fast-rolling tyres and advanced wheelset enhance stability and reduce maintenance, making it perfect for little adventurers.

Super lightweight aluminium, beautifully crafted to last for years

Early Rider use 6061-grade aluminium in their 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.

Early Rider have given the Belter 14” 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 levers, 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.

Early Rider were the first bike company to bring cartridge bearings and cassette hubs to any kids bike. And with the game changing impact their latest 4 bearing model has had on weight, friction and durability, they had no choice but to roll it out, even on their 14” bikes - after all, it’s the smallest riders that need the most support.

Coupled with super light weight 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 14 runs 2”, 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 kids bikes.

Their extra volume and grip provide added control over the lumps and bumps and give the cushioning that makes riding more enjoyable.

2” tyres are also much more stable, especially in tricky conditions. With a bike that is more stable, you can shorten the rear triangle, and that improves handling and manoeuvrability making the bike more capable still.

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. Early Rider have collaborated with them for over a decade, producing some of best age specific components to ever grace a kids’ bike.
