Early Rider Seeker 16 Kids Bike
Standover Height: 45cm
Age range: 4-6 years
Weight: 5.95kg
The Seeker 16 is designed for all-terrain adventures. Its relaxed geometry ensures comfort, stability, and better muscle engagement for longer rides. The Gates Carbon Belt Drive is clean, durable, and maintenance-free for up to 20,000 km. The lightweight 5.95kg aluminium frame provides strength and efficiency while easy-rolling trail specific wheels extend the day while knobbly 2.25" tires guarantee traction no matter the terrain.
Geometry to get kids moving
A great adventure bike should be comfortable, easy to pedal and stable on changeable terrain.
Early Rider have gone for a relaxed, stable geometry for the Seeker. We want kids to be upright-ish for comfort but still able to engage their core and glutes (the muscles that keep you pedalling for longer.)
The front end of the bike (wheel base) is stretched out, making it stable and less likely to flick out unexpectedly if the front wheel hits a curb or tree root.
Finally, the stack and reach (the angles of the triangle bit of the frame) are not too high and not too stretched, making descending fun not frightening. Progress comes when those 3 areas of geometry work in harmony.
A, no rust, no fuss carbon drive train
The Gates Carbon Belt drive is just a brilliant piece of kit. It replaces the traditional steel chain and cassette with a robust, stretch resistant and best of all clean drivetrain.
It’s easy to clean, requires almost no maintenance and is good for 20’000km.
Paired with a top-tier cassette hub and sealed cartridge bearings, it delivers peak all weather, all terrain performance.
Wheely great wheels
There’s no point speccing a great bike with terrible wheels.
Whether it’s too heavy, too flimsy or simply too unresponsive, a poor quality wheel will suck the joy out of riding with every leg-aching, sluggish pedal stroke.
Early Rider designed the Seeker with shock absorbing aluminium rims, a small but mighty cassette hub and 20 spokes for strength and stiffness.
Power transfer shouldn’t just be for the pros. It keeps legs fresher, for longer. extending the ride for everyone.
Super lightweight aluminium, beautifully crafted to last for years
Early Rider use 6061-grade aluminium in our bikes, It’s a 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.
The benefit is a bike that literally goes the distance.
Tyres that keep them on track
Big adventure requires big tyres and we’re not playing around when it comes to speccing the Seeker.
Whether you’re navigating mud, berms, ruts or roots, our 2.25" knobbly tyres deliver traction, control and protection.
Bigger tyre volume means more air and therefore more cushioning, so that riding won’t just be safer and more adventurous, it’ll be more enjoyable too.
Touchpoints that elevate control
Every one of the Seeker’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 the best age specific components to ever grace a kids’ bike.
Light, powerful brakes they can trust
Fast fun bikes need quick light brakes because stopping should be as comfortable and fear-free as going.
Early Rider design The Seeker with powerful, age specific Tektro V brakes with ultra short reach levers and light-pull actuation, making braking easy even for the smallest of hands. Braking feedback is smooth and responsive, helping developing riders understand what smooth stopping feels like when the riding picks up.
The all aluminium lever construction ensures the brakes aren’t at risk should the bike inevitably be dropped to the ground.
