Rating of the lightest children's bikes for 2022

Choosing a bicycle for a child is a responsible matter, since children's transport should not only please the child, but also be completely safe for him. Looking for an option among many models, you should focus on lightweight and comfortable options (you just need to study some details). Amazingly, even for small riders, it is possible to easily purchase a fast or mountain bike.

As part of this article, we will consider the ranking of the lightest children's bikes for 2022.

What parameters affect weight

It must be taken into account that the bike is not always lucky for the rider, because the opposite happens. Sometimes, the baby will have to carry the transport himself. For example, if you need to bring it up a small staircase or put it in a specially designated place in the room. Even while moving, the weight of the structure has an effect on the rider's maneuverability. If the design is lightweight, then it has the ability to accelerate and maneuver well, but heavier solutions, for their part, are usually more reliable and cheaper. The mass of a children's bike is influenced by a number of factors:

• First of all, this is the size of the wheels and the weight of the tires.As a rule, a lightweight design for a child has a wheel diameter that does not exceed 18 inches.
• Tires are made from different types of material (there are plastic, rubber and foam rubber), which also affects the weight of a children's bike.
• The material from which the frame of the model is made. In this case, steel frames take the palm. Despite the fact that they are heavier than others, they are the most wear-resistant. Aluminum frames can boast of less strength, and carbon or carbon fiber structures are products made from lightweight and high-quality materials (the mass of these bicycles is small). Summarize this list of frames made of titanium. These are the most lightweight high strength solutions.
• Pedal weight is also important. For example, plastic pedals have practically no effect on the weight of the structure, while metal products increase the total mass.
• Lighter is the children's bike, which has few auxiliary parts. These experts include the trunk, additional wheels and the brake system.

Varieties

Bicycles are:

• mountain;
• racing;
• road;
• mixed;
• stunt, BMX;
• children's.

When choosing a bicycle for a child, one should be guided by the weight and height of the child, otherwise parents increase the likelihood of non-compliance with simple requirements regarding ergonomics. This has a detrimental effect on the activity of the child, and in some cases even leads to complications in the work of the musculoskeletal system.For riders who are 6 years old, it is worth choosing BMX or mountain structures with a significantly smaller size when compared with bikes for adults.

Expert advice! Do not take bicycles "for growth". It is uncomfortable and expensive in that context if the baby cannot cope with the controls.

The best option for a 6 year old rider is a BMX bike. It will give the parent child the opportunity to feel like a professional rider. The fact is that different riding styles require, in addition to skill, also an excellent level of physical fitness. First of all, you should decide what the child will do, and after that - choose the appropriate design for this:

• street style is a rather difficult activity to master, which includes jumping from stairs and tricks on the railing;
• park-skating on specially equipped areas, which include mini-ramp, half-pipe and edge;
• Dirt - ski jumping.

Having decided on the purpose, you can proceed to the choice. In 2022, the street style is in high demand among young people, because in order to engage in it, you do not need to look for equipped sites. Although, most young men want to learn more difficult tricks and it is for this reason that models such as BMX have received a separate demand. Designs for children, whose age ranges from 6 to 7 years, differ significantly in appearance from bicycles for toddlers. In such designs, in addition to large wheels, as a rule, a certain number of speeds and a braking system are provided: front (v-brake) and rear (foot).

Expert advice! Take a good look at the length of the top tube of the structure.

The rider should be comfortable in the seat, and the handlebars should be in a comfortable position - and not too far, and not too close. Only in this case, the parent child will be able to master the required tricks without any problems. If a child has the skills to ride in a barque style, then you should know that the design features of such models also differ in some details. They have very small feathers and some slope of the glass, which makes it easier to perform various tricks.

Important! BMX bikes are most often made of special steel, molybdenum or chromium.

The two extreme listed materials give the structure increased strength. The chrome frame is made from a special heat-treated metal, making it almost eternal. Forks and connecting rods for a small rider's bike are also made of chrome or steel.

There are no pendants on such structures, so if the child is not yet prepared to conquer sports peaks, then it is better to give preference to traditional solutions. Conventional aluminum structures can fully meet the needs of a small rider. At 6 years old, the kid has the opportunity to safely maneuver on such a bike. It is for this reason that steel-framed structures can be an excellent solution for this age. In addition, there are lightweight bikes with a folding design that young riders can easily carry over curbs, etc.

Expert advice! Pay attention to the study of the design features of the brake system.

As a rule, at 6-7 years old, the baby’s hands are not yet fully strengthened, and therefore do not give preference to options with a manual brake system.In this case, it is better to buy a design with a foot brake or resort to a compromise option - models with a hybrid type of brake system.

Expert advice! It would not hurt to have soft foam inserts on the steering wheel, and rubberized pedals.
