There are various reasons why you should choose a lightweight children's bike when buying a bike for your child.

Especially with the little ones, it is important to choose a light bike for children. While the weight of a normal bicycle for an adult is usually around 20 percent of his body weight, this value can be between 40 and 80 percent for a child, depending on the bicycle model.
Such a weight is not only an exhausting mammoth task in the truest sense of the word, but can also lead to frustration and, in the worst case, to accidents - for example if the child falls while trying to carry their bike up the stairs. The handling of the light bike is also much more child-friendly when turning, since the little riders have to hold on to significantly less weight.
In addition, a light bike for children accelerates faster. A light children's bike is much easier to get up the mountain - and the little riders are much more relaxed when they reach their destination. This saves frustration and increases driving pleasure. Therefore, the lighter the children's bike, the easier it is for your child to handle it. Every kilo counts on a bike for kids.

Our ACADEMY bikes are not only ultra-light: all models weigh 40 percent less than the average weight of a child.

They are also specially tailored to the ergonomic requirements of children. The frames with deep and narrow bottom brackets allow tight and child-friendly leg guidance, while short pedal cranks and an upright sitting position ensure that the feet can always be placed on the ground. At the same time, our light children's bikes allow an ergonomic knee position while riding.
The ACADEMY bikes were developed in cooperation with the German Institute for Orthopedics and Sport (DIOOS) Bielefeld with the aim of developing a light bike for children that satisfies orthopedic and ergonomic aspects and at the same time makes cycling fun for the children. In addition to the well thought-out and child-friendly design, this is ensured by the modern and stylish look of the light ACADEMY bikes for children.
