“Bought this for my 3 year old sons birthday, the handle bars are slightly big but there’s room for growth and he has already got the hang of it very quickly. Brilliant start to his cycling life journey!”

“The Rookie 14 is a brilliant children’s bike. The build quality is excellent, it’s lightweight and it looks great. It’s also very well thought out for little riders and offers really good value for money compared to other high quality brands. We’ve used it exclusively as a pedal and it’s been great. The only issue we’ve had is that the handlebar grips come loose from time to time and we have to push them back on; other than that I couldn’t fault it, and I would definitely make the same choice again.”

Hello, thank you for taking the time to review the bike. We are delighted that you love it as much as we do! The grips aren’t permanently bonded on, as you would need to replace the whole handlebar to replace them, if they get damaged, which would be unnecessarily expensive. However, if you spray a little hairspray onto the bar, before sliding them back on, then they will hold but still allow you the option to take off and replace if needed.

“Excellent customer service - we weren’t sure what type / size bike would work best for our 5 year old who isn’t bike confident but most balance bikes were too small for her but needed something that wouldn’t be redundant within a few weeks / months. Karen provided very quick and excellent guidance and we settled on the Rookie 14 which arrived quickly and was easy to assemble. Bike is lovely looking and well made and feels like it will last the test of time. A great experience, thank you Kidvelo”

“It needs some extra care to build it properly, but the bike is light and perfect for a beginner (3yo)”

“We really struggled to find a lightweight pedal bike that was small enough for our 3 year old who was already confident on his balance bike- The Kidvelo Rookie 14 was the perfect solution! The pedals were really easy to fit and within 30 minutes of riding his new bike he was confidently pedalling! After 6 months of regular use the bike is still in great condition. The after sales care has also been fantastic, I contacted them to ask about buying a replacement front reflector (which was broken when my son took a corner at high speed!) and they sent one to us for free! What a great company! Thank you!”

“This bike is exactly what we were looking for! My son is 5 and not yet ready to transition from a balance bike to a pedal bike. He has CP which makes some physical activities tough for him. This bike is lightweight and one day we hope to attach the pedals and chain! But for now Jax is able to look awesome on the way to school and build his confidence. Thank you so much for everything!”
