Description
The Belter 24 has 24″ wheels, a wider 12 mm belt and a Shimano Nexus 8-speed hub with a twist shifter, so the gears sit sealed inside the back wheel. Tektro hydraulic disc brakes do the stopping. It needs an inside leg of at least 64 cm and weighs 10.2 kg without pedals, on 2.0″ Schwalbe Billy Bonkers tyres.
Early Rider make the coolest kids’ bikes around. We love the belt drive for zero mess: no oily chain, nothing black on the school trousers. And it comes at a great price too, as a belt drive usually adds about £300 to the cost of any bike. They ride beautifully as well. They are iconic in brushed silver, but the new colours look great. Gav (shop owner)’s own daughter rides one and loves it on the BMX track.
Every kids’ bike we sell is properly set up and ready to go, which is worth £50. No building needed: turn up and ride away. They get the memory of buying their new bike from a bike shop, and you don’t spend the evening swearing at a box and fiddling with hex keys.
As you go up the range the mountain bikes look really rad too: see the Charger 20 and Hellion X20, or the Charger 24 and Hellion X24.
Come and try one for size at Butternut Bikes in Crouch End, or call 020 8347 5534. Colours we don’t have in the shop are ordered in from Early Rider UK for you.
