How good are 16 inch children's bikes? The ADAC answers this question. Well-known manufacturers are ahead, one fails with “poor”.
Sixteen-inch bike received the worst test grade of 5, ‘poor’ The price alone is definitely not the deciding factor when choosing a good children's bike. The following key points were taken into account in the ADAC test to determine the test winner. For a 16-inch bicycle, the maximum permissible total weight should be at least 30 kilograms to ensure adequate load capacity. For good visibility, there should be sufficient reflectors and, if necessary, lighting. A full chain guard prevents clothing or fingers from getting caught in the chain, a common cause of accidents among children. Care should be taken to use non-toxic materials for the handles, but also for other components. The bike should have brakes that are easy to use and efficient. The saddle and handlebars are adjustable so they can grow with your child.
