Charger 12 (with Brake)

Two wheels. One goal.   And no, it's not balance. It's to encourage our kids to actively connect with the incredible world around them. A life affirming relationship for our children and our planet by simply giving children the very best tools for developing a love of exploring and making them with materials, components and craftsmanship that will see through them, their siblings and their friends.  The low slung frame with a minimum seat height of just 12 inches gives them the earliest of starts. It's classic diamond construction and cold forged drop outs are for strength and will take whatever a growing child, or an older sibling, throws at it. A beautiful brushed finish that means the quality of the tubing and our welds are always there to see and scratches just add to its character. CNC'd aluminum hubs and axles run on sealed cartridge bearings keeping the bike light and friction lighter.  2" Vee Speedster tires roll over everything with minimum fuss, providing the comfort and stability young riders need. Internal cabling for a optional rear brake upgrade with custom Ritchey riser bars designed specifically to fit mini V short reach levers. As easy as riding a bike.  THE REAL COST OF VALUE We use premium parts because without them, we cannot make our balance bikes to perform and last to the standards we set. We only see three reasons to use poor quality materials like mild steel, solid tires, plastic rims and bushings. The first is that they are cheap. The second is that it's easy - easy to buy, easy to use, easy to sell. The third is that the bikes will become landfill long before they risk cannibalizing future sales. This is not us. We won't ask you to buy our products but we would ask that if not ours, you buy a quality alternative, either first hand or second, that will not end up in the ground sooner rather than later.    [Left column] STANDOVER HEIGHT 13 INCHES FRAME HAND BRUSHED AL6061, FORGED DROP OUTS FORK HAND BRUSHED AL606I, FORGED DROP OUTS STEERER TUBE AL6061 WHEELSET 12" PNEUMATIC, SEALED CARTRIDGE, V BRAKE READY HUBS CNC'D T6 AL6061, CARTRIDGE BEARINGS, AL6061 AXLES RIMS 20H ANODISED AL6061, BLACK SEAT POST AL6061, 25.4MM FRONT TYRE VEE SPEEDSTER 12x2.0" WB 27 TPI Click here to view the User Manual [Right column] REAR TYRE VEE SPEEDSTER 12x2.0" WB 27 TPI HEADSET 1 1/8” CONVENTIONAL, EXTERNAL CUP STEM RITCHEY OS FORGED AL6061, 35MM REACH BARS 440MM RITCHEY OS DOUBLE BUTTED AL6061, 18MM RISE GRIPS ER SOFT TOUCH MUSHROOM, 100MM SADDLE BLACK FAUX NUBUCK LEATHER  SEAT CLAMP ER BOLT SEAT CLAMP, 28.6MM VALVE CAPS Due to safety regulations changing we are no longer able to supply dust caps as standard for bikes that are labelled as age appropriate for children under 3 years of age.   [Table] STANDOVER HEIGHT 33CM FRAME HAND BRUSHED AL6061, FORGED DROP OUTS FORK HAND BRUSHED AL6061, FORGED DROP OUTS STEERER TUBE AL6061 WHEELSET 12" PNEUMATIC, SEALED CARTRIDGE BEARING, V BRAKE HUBS CNC’D T6 AL6061, CARTRIDGE BEARING, AL6061 AXLES SEAT POST AL6061, 25.4MM RIMS 20H ANODISED AL6061, BLACK WEIGHT 3.4 KGS BRAKES TEKTRO 837A: 102MM ARMS (Brake upgrade kit purchase) LEVERS TEKTRO JL-352RS SHORT REACH (Brake upgrade kit purchase) FRONT TYRE VEE SPEEDSTER 12x2.0" WB 27 TPI REAR TYRE VEE SPEEDSTER 12x2.0" WB 27 TPI HEADSET 1 1/8” CONVENTIONAL, EXTERNAL CUP STEM RITCHEY OS FORGED AL6061, 35MM REACH BARS 440MM RITCHEY OS DOUBLE BUTTED AL6061, 18MM RISE GRIPS ER SOFT TOUCH MUSHROOM 100MM SEAT POST AL6061, 25.4MM SADDLE BLACK FAUX NUBUCK LEATHER SEAT CLAMP ER BOLT SEAT CLAMP, 28.6MM VALVE CAPS Due to safety regulations changing we are no longer able to supply dust caps as standard for bikes that are labelled as age appropriate for children under 3 years of age.
