The START 20" is designed to build the bicycle skills of riders graduating from a 16" bicycle, with no grease, rust, stained hands, or heavy frames. This is the bike your little one can ride for long distances comfortably. From paved neighborhood lanes to hard-packed gravel or dirt, this bicycle can tackle a wide range of surfaces with its grease-free and rust-free Gates Belt Drive, all terrain tires, and lightweight aluminum frame. You can feel great getting your son or daughter riding in comfort and style! Now available two ways: 3 speed – without training wheels: our Shimano Nexus 3-speed internal hub introduces gears for riders ready to tackle hills and longer rides. 1 speed – with training wheels: for riders who’ve outgrown a 16" bike but aren’t quite ready to balance on their own. One gear keeps things simple while they build confidence, and the training wheels come off when they’re ready to ride solo. Heads up: training wheels are only available on the 1 speed. The 3 speed can’t take training wheels, so if your rider wants gears, choose 3 speed – without training wheels. 1 speed – with training wheels is available in Red and Blue now. Purple and Charcoal arrive around the end of March 2027. The Start 20" continues our mission of making low maintenance bicycles that help your kids ride confidently and comfortably with: Multi-terrain tires so your rider can go anywhere 3 speed model: 3 speeds to hit hills and cruise down the bike path without getting tired 1 speed model: comes with training wheels for riders still building confidence High-quality Shimano and Gates components Comfortable, durable all-weather grips and seat Dual hand brakes for safe, confident stopping power A light and rust-proof aluminum frame Kickstand included A composite belt guard is installed with every bicycle Full reflector kit: Front, Rear, Wheels and Pedals A wide color selection to fit your child’s interest Seat Height: 22" - 28.5". This bicycle fits children 6-11 years old. To confirm that this bicycle is right for your child, measure their inseam (shoes off, ground to top of crotch). Note that novice riders will ride flat-footed, while advanced riders will be able to balance at a stop on their toes. For novice riders, the seat height and inseam range are the same, this fits children with a 22 - 28.5" inseam. For advanced riders, the seat should be approx. 1.5" taller, and thus this bike will fit children with a 20.5 - 27" inseam.
