Summer Gift Guide 25: Early Rider Bikes

The Mommies Reviews

Grad season is among us to see not only for High School Students and College Graduates but Middle School and even Elementary with kindergarten graduation I wanted to share gift ideas for all of our young kids graduating their classes this year!

 Summer is here and its time to get outside without electronics and go on a #Bike ride or 5. The Sky’s the limit with Early Rider. Not only that Fathers Day is around the corner and I would like to get David and Charlie a Bike and get Bertha my three wheel Trike out of storage so we can go bike riding. Would you want to come with us?

Early Rider, the original creator of the Balance Bike, is one of the leading engineers of various urban, adventure, and trail bike designs for kids looking for a special pedal bike option that can keep up with their busy and active lives.

 Bikes are one of the best gifts we can give our kids considering it helps them hone their skills and build their physical and mental confidence to take on anything that life throws at them. Bikes build the physical and mental confidence that gets kids outside, so what better way to celebrate a school year well done than to gift one to our graduates?  (Some suggestions are below but you can browse the full collection HERE). 

The BIGFOOT is designed for those who are committed to their children being more connected to the environment around us than to a device. 

It’s an important battle to win early, and so the low slung frame with a saddle height of just 31cms gets you the jumpstart you need. A robust diamond frame and forged drop outs means you’ll not have any hits putting the bike out of action. The elements won’t be a problem either, all of the bearings are maintenance free sealed cartridges and our frame, fork, hubs, rims, steerer, stem and handlebars are all aluminium.

In fact, other than hardware, the only steel on the bikes are the hardened spokes – a full 20 of them on each wheel to make sure they’ll not buckle at the sight of a curb, a root, or dad for that matter. It also comes in Brushed Aluminum, Sage Green, or Violet Haze, and is available for $199. 

The SEEKER is designed for all-terrain adventures. Its relaxed geometry ensures comfort, stability, and better muscle engagement for longer rides. The Gates Carbon Belt Drive is clean, durable, and maintenance-free for up to 20,000 km.

The lightweight 5.95kg aluminum frame provides strength and efficiency while easy-rolling trail specific wheels extend the day while knobby 2.25″ tires guarantee traction no matter the terrain. It comes in Brushed Aluminum, Sage Green, or Violet Haze, and is available for $599. 

Thank you,

Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
