Belt-Driven: Using a rubber belt makes the Belsize bike grease-free with practically zero maintenance. A rubber belt will not get caught on your child’s pants or shoelace and will not stretch or slip off the gears like a greasy metal chain. Easy to Control: Instead of wrestling with a heavy bike, this bike weighs a feather-light 12.57 pounds to reduce fatigue and make it easier to ride uphill. Your kid will be able to ride all day long! High Quality Parts: Belsize bikes use well-known parts like a Continental rubber belt, TEKTRO hand brakes, and Kenda/CST 16-inch inflatable tires. Quality parts you can trust without inflated prices. Incredibly Safe: Front and rear V-pull hand brakes are easy to learn and safer than pedal/coaster brakes that may cause skidding or sudden stops of momentum when riding. Quick Assembly: Belsize bikes are 95% assembled when they arrive. All you have to do is attach the handlebars, front tire, adjustable seat, pedals, and a few other small parts before your kid will be ready to ride.
