The Early Rider Belter 16 Auto is a top-tier choice for parents looking for a high-quality, lightweight bike for their child to enjoy urban adventures.
Early Rider is a premium kids’ bike brand that has earned a loyal following among parents who are keen cyclists themselves and want the best equipment for their children.
This version of the Early Rider Belter 16 Auto is built for everyday urban riding, featuring a clean and low-maintenance design that makes it easy for busy families to keep the bike in top condition.
The bike stands out because of its grease-free belt drive system and an innovative automatic two-speed hub developed with Sturmey Archer, which shifts gears seamlessly based on speed so the rider doesn’t have to worry about levers.
A significant benefit for young riders is the light weight of the frame, with this model weighing in at just 6.42kg, making it much easier to handle than many standard alternatives.
While we haven’t tested this specific model yet, we have previously carried out an Early Rider Belter 14 review and were very impressed with the quality and design of the range.
