Not quite BMX, but my 4yr old's new ride....

My little girl has finally shown an interest in riding bikes but the 16" Lil' Ripper I had was too big for her and frankly too heavy. I had a look on the market and found the ideal solution in an Early Rider "Belter" which is an ultra lightweight 16" alloy and carbon fibre bike that's half the wieght of the Ripper and I'm proud to say she rode it for the first time over the weekend after i took the pedals off so she could wizz along like her balance bike. Gonno put the pedals on this weekend and give her the last push but fingers crossed she should be fine.....

I'd recommend this company to anyone on here. The matching balance bike is next to it she is about to pass on to my 2yr old boy whhich is also superb with sealed bearings etc. A bit pricey but get haggling at your LBS.

Hopefully I will have a picture of her riding it properly this weekend :smitten:

Does look cool Spen  ;) , Gates belt too ! ( apparently the best cambelts you can buy  ;) ) . Evans say 12.25 lbs , what was the 16" Ripper ?? .....

Roughly twice the wieght Matt with 16" Tuffs on. I think it's about 20lbs standard so a bit more with the mags :-\

The Lil Ripper needs an experienced rider tbh and is not a learning bike, especially for a little girl. Kappy's youngest lad has it now and is already doing framestands on it I hear :shocked:

They are seriously well made bits of kit - all the bearings are sealed and the Alley Runner balance bike even has an integrated heaset and carbon fibre bars, so they were never gonna be cheap. I'll take a couple of better pics over the weekend of the two bikes, complete with scratches already :'(

They started out with timber balance bikes - here's the full range but the alloy ones are something very special indeed.
