Cycling in winter can be great fun for those who are well-prepared. In this article, you learn what to keep in mind when you decide to take your little rascal for a ride in winter.
Read moreWhy are RASCAL children's bikes so cool? Is it the attractive design or high-quality workmanship? Well, it all counts. But there is also a secret recipe to it: years of experience, special features and technologies. Let's look at all the improvements, thanks to which little riders have a broad smile on their faces.
No parent wants their little cyclist to struggle with a heavy bike instead of being able to cruise around happily. RASCAL children's bikes have a frame made of lightweight alloy and are equipped with high-quality components designed specifically for children. RASCAL bikes are true low-weight champions!
That's why our bikes are not only easy to ride, but also easy to handle, park and lift up. Try carrying the RASCAL bike up the stairs – it’s a piece of cake. Even light enough for a little racer to lift the bike above their head in victory!
Children’s safety and comfort are our top priority. RASCAL children’s bikes have a special geometry that offers a comfortable and natural fit. What does this mean in reality? A pleasant, easy and safe ride! Well-designed geometry is key to the comfort and stability of a small rider.
There are also other tricks up our sleeves! We optimized the top frame tube angle for easier mounting and the ideal head tube angle for better control and a more confident riding feel. It might seem these details are insignificant, but they have bigger consequences. They can make a difference in whether the little rider falls in love with cycling or leaves the bike lying in the corner. The right geometry has the power to turn every ride into pure joy.
Every RASCAL component, from brake levers to pedals, is designed to meet children’s needs. It matches smaller children's proportions, thus ensuring better handling and greater rider’s comfort. For example, smaller brake levers or slimmer ergonomic grips can take the riding experience to a new level.
Imagine having smaller hands. With such small hands, it would be difficult for you to master large tools. This is where the specifically designed components come into play: smaller brake levers, shorter cranks or a narrower saddle. Every piece is tuned to make the ride easy and comfortable for a child.
Years of experience have taught us that by adapting a bike to children’s proportions, we can increase their self-confidence and desire to ride.
Forget about getting your hands or clothes dirty from the chain grease! The belt drive is a miracle of modern cycling that has quickly become an essential part of RASCAL bikes. It’s maintenance-free, quiet, and lighter than a regular steel chain. Children's hands don't get messy from grease, and parents don't need to deal with regular maintenance. Simply, it's a win-win situation for everyone!
Shift to an easy ride! RASCAL children's bikes with internal gear hubs have all the magic hidden inside. No rattling chain or unpredictable shifting - just turn the grip to keep on pedalling smoothly. This system equals fewer problems and more fun!
The internal gear hub is perfect for young cyclists who have just started using multiple gears on a bike. Children can easily change gears without getting distracted by pedalling action. It shifts without turning the pedals, so little racers can easily pick lighter gear before they even start riding.
Who says children's bikes can't have style? Forget about the boring colours - RASCAL children's bikes have such a fancy finish! The luxurious look will catch your eye straight away. Not only do children fall in love with the look of their RASCAL bike immediately, but parents too. And the result? Plenty of new stylish pics to feed your Instagram profile with.
Anyone can choose their favourite RASCAL colour. And a bonus? Thanks to the hand-applied layer of paint, every RASCAL bike comes out as an original!
Children love to own something unique and special. You can bet they will be proud of their name placed on the bike. Let everyone see whom the bike belongs to!
With the name on the frame, every child recognizes their bike straight away. And that comes in handy especially when RASCAL bikes become really popular in your area.
RASCAL children's bikes are not toys - even though they look and weigh alike! They are thoughtfully designed machines. We took every detail into consideration so that children could fully enjoy their bike rides. The top-notch technologies and gadgets such as a belt drive, internal gear hub or a personal name on the frame make RASCAL children's bikes the best companions for every adventure.
