Thank you for making such a thorough review! I was stuck between the 16 and the X16, because I like disc brakes. But you bring up a good point about little fingers. Getting this for my oldest for Christmas this year and he's got two younger siblings who will also get to enjoy it in future years. Best avoid the discs till the littlest one is old enough not to stick fingers into the rotors. Definitely sold on the normal Seeker 16, and it's slightly cheaper to boot! Thanks!
Thank you so much for making this video! I'm deciding atm between BELTER 14 vs BELTER 16 (which is similar to the Seeker, but with a slick tyres), and you review definitely helped me to make a choice!
Fantastic review, even though I am a serious mountain bike rider, there were details I did not consider as disc brakes that could be too powerfull ! Many thanks from France
Thank you so much 😊. Glad you liked the video. I’m so impressed with Early Rider and will definitely be looking to get another bike from them when my eldest sizes up. Let me know which bike you go for!
Hi Sarah, very nice and informative Video! Am looking for an off-road Xmas present for my daughter. I thought about a wee bit bigger bike as she is already 4 years 5 months @ Xmas. But I think you‘re so right regarding weight, a light bike helps so much, especially when she’s off-road. So this one might be it - I just don’t know yet if I will survive when I see her riding it in the woods 🫣😂 Regards from Switzerland, Tom 👋
Great review. Hard to decide which route to take between 14" and 16". He will turn 3 in a week time. I measured him inside legs and he is 43cm. I can see this one starts from 45cm so he won't be able to touch the ground. Of course that he will grow in the next months and I'm thinking that this will be better in terms on handling but also last longer through his development. Please advise. Thank you.
Hi, thank you so much for watching. I think the measurements are to the heel so your son should be able to tip toe (which is all our son was able to do when we first got the 16” but he could still pedal with no issues). As children grow so quickly I think your son will grow into the 16” rapidly will last far longer than at 14”. The bigger wheels will also help the bike ride more smoothly over the bumps and rough terrain. Let me know what you go for!
Hi Dan, our son is about 104cm now and was only around 97cm when he first started riding this bike (when he was 3.5 years) and could ride it straight away. So I think your son will be perfect for it. Let me know how you get on and what you think of it. Thanks for watching! Sarah
It looks the same to the naked eye, I think it’s just a rebrand so basically the same bike. I think they rebranded and now advertise the belters as their urban/city bikes and the seeker as their off road/trail bikes. Hope that helps!
Ours have never had a puncture so we haven’t had to take the tyre off the rim but most bikes can be converted to tubeless these days. We have 2 early rider bikes now and haven’t had any punctures on either of them in 2 years. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the very thorough review. Very helpful in helping me make a decision on a bike for my daughter.

Nice video, the only difference between the seeker and the belter 16 is the tyre.
Excellent review, thanks Sarah! I’m just about to choose my little one’s first MTB, and I think you’ve convinced me to go for this bike!
Great review! You touch all the points that matter. Well done amazing bike

Just ordered one this morning( Son is 4 next weekend and measures 104cm in height, currently ) but wondered how tall your son is? Thanks Dan

Thank you for the review
Hello maybe u can help me, wheres the difference between the seeker 16 and the belter Trail? Thanks much

My son is 4 with a 43cm inside leg. Would you recommend this bike for him
what was height of rider? I have chance to purchase this same model, but rider is just under 5 feet. Is this model too small?
Hi do you know if these tires/wheels can be ran tubeless?
Ours have never had a puncture so we haven’t had to take the tyre off the rim but most bikes can be converted to tubeless these days. We have 2 early rider bikes now and haven’t had any punctures on either of them in 2 years. Thanks for watching!
how much does it go
