ByK E-450 Kids Bike Features
Design:
At the heart of every ByK Bike is a well designed frame and weighing just 1.2kg the lightweight frame is easier to ride and manouvre. The ergonomic design ensures a great fit and superb handling, your child will have a light and easy bike to ride. The custom sized and shaped V-bars consider shoulder width, riding position, safety and comfort.
Performance:
Lightweight alloy wheels make pedalling easier - the taller, more efficient wheel sizing has a dynamic advantage that other bikes can't match. And like the professionals, we've added radial spokes on the front wheel. Smooth, faster-rolling tyres don't wear little legs out so quickly - the pattern is easy rolling and very robust.
Safety:
To make a children's bike safe, the rider needs to be able to brake efficiently and confidently. On the front BYK have used an alloy side pull caliper for developing immediate hand control, and at the rear a coaster brake for simple and safe foot braking.
BYK have used alloy front and rear calipers with light action for superior control and a simple and safe coaster style foot brake. The custom-sized V-Brakes are calibrated for age, ability and ergonomic fit. And they are made of non-flexing, strong and light alloy. Light weight alloy rims ensure pedalling is easier. But more importantly alloy rims are a more efficient braking surface than cheaper, chrome-plated steel rims, and are therefore safer.
