Meet the belter 12

A lightweight 6061 aluminium kids’ bike with fast-rolling 2.0” tyres, built to supercharge their thirst for adventure. Its confidence-boosting geometry and high-grade wheels deliver smooth, grippy rides in all conditions, while durable, sustainably minded design means it’s made to last and be loved for years.

Progression from the first push-off

Even for toddlers. The right geometry is the difference between a bike they adore and one they ignore, and it’s something Early Rider has perfected over 18 years of pioneering kids’ bike design. Their finely tuned frames deliver safety, confidence, progress and, most importantly, fun.

Lightweight aluminium, beautifully crafted

The Belter 12 is handcrafted from 6061-grade aluminium, swapping out heavy steel and plastic wherever possible. Strong, corrosion-resistant and fully recyclable, it delivers a light, smooth ride that’s built to be loved now and handed down for years.

Roll model

The Belter 12 uses market-leading aluminium rims and hubs with high-grade sealed bearings to keep weight and rolling resistance low. That lets us invest in grippy, high-performance tyres for real safety and control, without making the bike feel heavy.

Tread carefully

…and confidently. The Belter’s fast-rolling 2.0" tyres give 2–4 year olds the stability, cushioning and grip they need to tackle mixed terrain, even in the rain. There’s no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong bike.

Designed to ride and ready to upgrade

The Belter 12 comes with an anatomically designed Ritchey bar and stem in super-light, super-strong aluminium. Ritchey, led by mountain bike pioneer Tom Ritchey, has over 50 years of experience designing race-proven components, so your child’s controls are built on real pro-level know-how. Internal cable routing lets you easily add a Tektro rear brake as they progress, so smooth, confident control arrives exactly when they’re ready.

Sustain-Ability™ means building bikes that last

…and keep inspiring child after child. Instead of throwaway kids’ bikes, Early Rider focuses on durable design, top-quality parts and performance that helps children develop skills and a lifelong love of riding. It also means caring for the people behind each bike, with safe workplaces, fair conditions and a supply chain that supports healthy, fulfilled lives.
