Do you remember your first real bike? Chances are you do. Here are some bikes that kids will love by Trek and Specialized. Click on the photo to see the full specs. (A new window opens.)
Not quite ready for a two-wheeler? The Trek Trikester might be just the thing. Built tough enough for an adult to ride, it's got a steel frame and fork and is adjustable to fit your child as he or she grows. Available in blue and pink
With their rugged, all-steel design, these bikes are kid-proof and fun to ride. Complete with knobby tires for traction on all terrain, a full cover chainguard and pads to safely build confidence. Recommended height: 39-49". Ages 4-6.
Goodbye, training wheels. Hello, fun. Once kids get the hang of how to balance and pedal, they're ready to take on just about anything. So are these all-steel bikes and pedal trailers. Single speed with knobby tires. Recommended height: 44-53". Ages 6-9.
A kid-sized version of our full-featured bikes. Alpha aluminum frames with alloy Wheels and up to 24 speeds. These bikes may be built for kids, but they live up to the exact same standards as our full-sized Trek bikes. Ages 9-12.
Be sure to check out the full specs of these and other bikes at the Trek website and the Specialized website.
Not quite sure about this pedaling thing? With a Hotwalk, your child can learn the balance needed to ride a bike, but still have the security of having his or her feet on the ground. Available in boy's and girl's models (boy's shown).
Start out with training wheels and then ride with the big kids on the Hotrock 16. A lightweight aluminum frame combined with alloy rims make it easy for your child to handle. All with durability, fun, safety and quality handed down from the same crew that builds our big-kid bikes.
Want a simpler no-geared bike? The Hotrock 20 Coaster Brake model fits the bill. Tough as nails but still lightweight, with stainless-steel spokes, alloy rims and durable bearings. For years of low maintenance and fun. (girl's model shown)
Here's a scaled-down version of the bike you might be riding. It's a 21-speed (3x7) front-suspension mountain bike, able to tackle the trail. A 7-speed Shimano cassette helps with the hills, while alloy V brakes safely stop the bike. Available for boys and girls (boy's model shown).
