BYK kids bikes were born from one father's desire to build a bike that was made specifically for children. One that was suitable for a child's growing body and differing proportions to that of an adult. Motivated by the belief that good design has the capacity to change kids' lives, ByK was born from a need to offer a bike that could be ridden with ease and safely enjoyed by children.Ergonomics, power and weight, efficiency, ease of balance, control and safety are at unprecendented levels. "Not only is our design unrivalled and dynamically more efficient than any other kids' bikes on the market, we've prefected every detail, and ensured that every component is of the highest quality. These are the best kids' bikes.We hope to change children's lives in a positive way, not only to enjoy bike riding but to help protect them and invest in their futures." With the ergonomic design, the bikes fit the rider better in all the right places for all the right reasons. Never before have children had a better chance to learn to ride and love to ride.
Use these age and height recommendations (above) as a guide, however it's also important to take into account your child's ability and personal confidence. If in between sizes, or you're unsure, err on the side of smaller. Children will have more fun and learn to ride with greater ease when they have more control of the bike.
A bike is the right size when your child can:
- Sit on the saddle and rest the balls of both feet on the ground
- Straddle the top bar with a comfortable clearance and with both feet flat on the ground
- Reach the handlebars with a slight bend in the arms when sitting on the seat
- If there are handbrakes, your child should be able to grasp them and apply enough pressure to stop the bike.
Yes, if you purchase a BYK for in store pick-up it will be fully assembled by one of our mechanics, ready to ride. The E-250 and E-350 come with training wheels installed, unless otherwise specified.
If you'd like any extras (coloured grips, handlebar streamers, front basket) just let us know when purchasing and we'll make sure they're installed on the bike!
Yes, BYK shipping is $40 and will be automatically added to your purchase. Your BYK will be assembled and safety checked, then partially dissassembled and boxed for shipping. There will be some minor reassambly on your end (installing front wheel & pedals, mounting handlebars).
