Hornit HERO 16
If you want your child to be seen on the very latest kids bike, which is sure to get everyone asking questions, then take a look at the brand new range of kids bikes from Hornit.
Not only is the HERO 16 one of the lightest kids bikes in this wheel size, tipping the scales at just 5.7kg, it also has a belt drive rather than the more traditional bike chain.
This is designed to reduce the amount of bike maintenance needed (no more rusty chains to deal with), and also helps stop dirty fingers and clothing.

Giant ARX 16
Giant are one of the world’s biggest bike brands, and the Giant ARX 16 has everything you’d expect from a single-speed kids bike.
It’s really light (great for when you have to pick it up and carry it) and is fitted with versatile tyres for cycling on lots of different surfaces, child-sized components and comes in a range of fun, bold colours.
