Specialized

The Specialized Hotwalk balance bike has a very low frame, making it easy for young children to clamber on and off of it, regardless of what they’re wearing, or how long their legs are.

There’s a little ledge for putting feet on when scooting along and picking up speed, and the frame is lightweight aluminium making it reasonably easy to carry once they’ve had enough and you’re carrying home!

The low standover height of the Specialized Jett 24 means your child can get onto this bike sooner than many other 24″ bikes and there’s an extra hole for the pedals on the crank meaning you can extend the use of this bike as your child’s legs grow.

It also has handy markings on the seat post and handlebars making adjusting the bike easy as your child grows.  To help, Specialized also provide an online Bike Fit tool – you simply input your child’s measurements and they will tell you how to adjust the bike to fit.

The Jett 20 has all the features you’d expect to find on a quality kids bike, but also has the addition of two positions on the crank so you can move the pedals as your child’s legs grow.

To help you size the bike for your child it comes with a nifty online Bike Fit tool. You key in your child’s measurements and it will tell you where to position the handlebars, pedals and saddle for correct riding position.

This is all part of the attempt made by Specialized to keep your child on this bike for as long as possible – they claim it should last 30 months (or 3 summers depending on when you buy it) – obviously that does depend on how fast your child grows!
