With high-quality components for the serious little cyclist, the Dawes Academy 14 is a lightweight and reliable hybrid bike for children aged 3 to 5.
The 8" triple-butted alloy frame is strong, lightweight, and durable, and the single-speed freewheel makes it a breeze to learn to cycle without having to worry about gear changes. The alloy mini V-type brakes stop smoothly and precisely, with alloy levers designed to perfectly fit a child's hands.
The 14" alloy wheels are strong and nimble, with Kenda tyres that can eat up the miles. And the BMX-style handlebars have an Infinite Height Adjust stem to match the micro-adjustable seat post to give your child the perfect personalised ride.
The Dawes Academy 14 conforms to the British Standard EN14765, the standard for bicycles for young children. These bicycles are intended for use by children on roads, paths and cycle tracks that are in good condition. Paths and cycle tracks can be gravel or dirt roads with minor undulations. Children must always ride within their own abilities and should wear a safety helmet at all times. Permissible total weight of rider, luggage and bicycle equals 105kg.
