Rookie 18

Designed exclusively by us for bigger and taller children, to give them the opportunity of cycling.

Children can be overwhelmed trying to master too many skills at once. They need to be able to break down the learning process into easy more manageable steps, allowing them to learn at their own pace.

This is especially important for those that have learning development delays and coordination problems.

As the Rookie 18 allows you to completely adjust the bike it won’t be outgrown for several years; instead, it becomes a treasured possession that is beneficial which they love to ride.

For anyone that needs to learn to ride a bike aged 5 plus!
