Hornit - 19 December

The last date for Christmas delivery from Hornit: Thursday 19 December 2024 at 12pm

Hornit offers bikes for all ages, including:

Their AIRO balance bike is so lightweight that when we received one for review, we actually thought they'd sent us an empty box at first! You can read all about why we think it's great in our Hornit AIRO balance bike review.

Their HERO range of starter pedal bikes are designed with simplicity as the aim.

All models are fitted with a belt drive rather than a chain to reduce maintenance and the chance of getting oily fingers or clothing. The larger bikes have three very easy to use gears to make riding simpler.

Hornit tell us: "Please note that the 19th of December is the last order date for guaranteed Christmas delivery. We still however recommend ordering before this due to third-party couriers becoming extremely busy before the festive period."
