Cleary Gecko 12" Pedal Bike
Переглядів 2,8 тис.Рік тому
The new Cleary Gecko has dropped some weight by going to alloy from steel and also gets a higher rise bar to put the kids in an upright position for learning to pedal. Everything is dialed on the build from the sealed headset and bottom bracket bearings to the short-reach brake levers for the tots. Small 19mm grips, toddler-sized seat, and little 89mm cranks round out a pint-size whip for the 2...

The pre-teen Kids can often fit a 27.5 inch mountain bike. Building it up for a reasonable price is the issue if your goal is a light weight bike. Find a frame on-sale with a short reach and low standover/stack and you can often make something better than any brand is offering. thebikedads.com

    I have a 22 model levo alloy and being in my mid 50s was a good entry level model as I hadn't ridden a push bike since my teens as I had always had dirt motorbikes. Its great to see if you want to continue riding emtb and later step up to better models of give it away. For me I'm happy just to be out there now with this and not pushing to 11/10ths of risk anymore 😂

    Hi, currently torn on the Prevelo Zulu 3 and the Giant STP 20 for our soon to be 6 year old. Of course the price point of the Prevelo is slightly higher (about £100 GPB difference with various deals in the UK) - Wondered what your thoughts were as a comparison?

    I just racked up 4500 miles on my bike. Then I had to rebuild the motor, replaced all the bearings in my rear hub, installed a new cassette, new chain, new front chain ring, new tires, new valve stem. Back on the road $1600 later! And before that I upgraded my suspension to coil front and back and built my own wheels and upgraded my brake rotors. The bike is an absolute blast but if you ride them hard they are effing money pits!

    I've just got a shotgun and it is not good at all. I've got an XXL frame and I can put the kid seat too near to the front. So during small (15°) turn the bar is hitting the 3 yo kids knee which makes this not work. In this video the top and bottom tube angle is small and those are close to each other. Take this in consideration before trying this seat. Maybe I could sell it in marketplace. :(
