Early Rider 16 inch Seeker Children Bike with belt drive - the lightest children's bike new with Vee Crown Gem 2.25" tyres
Note Side stand: We have developed a stand for you that fits perfectly to the Ealry Rider (see accessories) or here under ==> Early Rider stand
The latest version of the Seeker is equipped with super-light, high-quality wider pedals. The beautiful and super high-quality Ritchey handlebar remains unchanged. The biggest innovation in the 2020 version is the VeeTire Crown Gem 2.25" tyres. This corresponds to a tire width of 5.75cm, which makes balancing easier for the children.
The cult wheels of Early Rider have many fans. With the finest and lightest materials, this Children Bike is the hero and the favorite vehicle for your offspring. Why is it very simple. The average weight of a five-year-old is about 17kg. If this one rides a steel bike of 12kg, it's like an 80kg-heavy adult who has to ride a 55kg bike. Pretty unimaginable - isn't it? Therefore, the aim of the development of the Seekerwas to bring the lightest and at the same time noble Children Bike to the market. With a weight of 5.9kg, this endeavor has come to an end! Kids who master the Balance Bike now have a vehicle on which they immediately feel comfortable and have fun. Thanks to its unbeatable weight and perfect geometry, the Early Rider enables the youngest to get started optimally in the world of bicycles.
In addition, the Early Rider is the world's first Children Bike, which was equipped as a pioneer with a low-maintenance belt drive. Gates Carbon Drive offers no oil, no tearing of a chain link, no smeared children's hands and trousers, and a silent driving pleasure. The Belter is equipped with top aluminium components, a lightweight seatpost and high-quality 16 inch wheels. For this purpose, we recommend the innovative frezzo lock for safe closing and the powerful silicone light - also to be found under the tab accessories.
You and your offspring will be thrilled by this unique Children Bike – the Early Rider Seeker 16 inches. We are convinced of this.

Frequently asked questions and answers with recommendations from the children's velo specialist:
Velo assembly
What needs to be mounted on the Early Rider - what else is there to do?Time required approx. 15min. The bike is delivered to them 92% pre-assembled - meaning there is not much to do anymore:
- Screwing on pedals
- Fasten handlebars with 4 screws
- Pneu still pumping
- Assemble reflectors = off you go!
What is the version difference to the Belter and the latest Early Rider Seeker version?
Undoubtedly, the two versions are sensational children's velos. The Seeker version could only be improved with small "upgrades" to the Belter version. However, we want to give them the thoughts and advantages of the Seeker version:
- Wider tyres instead of the 5.08cm VeeTire Speedster 2" get the higher quality VeeTire Crown Gem tire with 5.75cm tire width. The wider tyres make it easier for the children to balance on the bike. We also recommend this pneu for girls. The rolling again is not noticeable for the children. In relation to the tyre width, due to "more balance" anyway neglect.
- Wider pedal helps children to better weight-pressure distribution. This ensures a better grip and comfortable pedaling.
- Black saddle - velvety made of nubuck imitation, offers more grip and is also slightly softer than the brown version made of faux leather.
- Seeker for trails? Well - at that age, most kids aren't yet up for the rough terrain types, so the makers didn't imagine that the Seeker version would only be used in the mountains ;). So - the Seeker is not only for trails, but just like that in the city/village.
What should I buy for Early Rider ? Accessories Recommendation [Advantages in bracket] - is also linked under accessories in the shop
- Side stand [+Parking option spares the bike +Children like the "Töff-Sidestand"] - which until now only side stand that fits the Early Rider and is very light
- Fender set [+no wet back, no splashed trousers] - the fender fits the new Early Rider versions with hole at the front
- Bell [+Children love bells + signallers] - although the bell is no longer mandatory, it is still a valuable way to draw attention to yourself.
- Knog bell black or the Knog bell silver fits beautifully on the elegant Early Rider
- 3M Reflector Stickers [+Easier Assembly +Elegant+Cheap CHF 4.95] - instead of using the included reflectors. Easier assembly and looks more elegant in our opinion. Reflectors are obilgatory as soon as sisch the Children Bike located in the public space baskets [+Children love a transport option (fabric animal, drink, snack) +color touch]
- WIDEK baskets - easy and easy to assemble and bring color to play - the favorite color of the new Early Rider driver(s)In?
- Light set like the big ones ensures visibility
- followme tandem coupling and followme adapter [+Light-hearted excursions +Fun for the child] - the convenient solution to get the child in tow accustomed to the traffic even on larger tours and at more confusing intersections in order to still collect driving practice.
