Cube Cubie 120
The Cube Cubie 120 pedal bike has been discontinued and replaced by the Cube Numove 120 12 inch pedal bike.
If you can find on secondhand, the bike has a lightweight aluminium frame and forks and comes with child sized brake levers, a chain protector and a carry handle on the rear of the saddle for when you end up having to carry it.
The rear brake on the Cubie 120 is a coaster brake, which is operated by your child pedalling backwards, whilst the front brake is a v-brake on the rim, operated by the brake lever. Coaster brakes are very popular on the continent and in the US but are not very common in the UK.
They’re a good idea if your child isn’t ready to operate a brake lever, but they will have to learn how to do this when they move up to larger bikes.
