The Specialised Riprock 12″ is a small pedal bike featuring an aluminium frame and a steel fork so is reasonably lightweight. The tyres are nice and wide to give additional stability for your child.
The bike is aimed at ages 2 – 3 years old and is a good starter bike for a child who is ready to start pedaling and have already gained confidence on their balance bike. The stabilisers are easily removable, and may provide useful for children with additional needs who may not be able to use a balance bike.
The Specialized Riprock features a rear coaster brake, so your child only has to worry about learning to pedal backwards to stop (but will have to learn to use brake levers when moving up to a 14″ wheel bike at some point).
