FAQ

Is a 26-inch bike the same as an adult bike?

While the wheel size is common in older adult MTBs, our 26" school bikes feature a "Junior-Large" frame geometry with a shorter reach and lower standover height specifically for teens.

Why do school bikes use hub dynamos?

Hub dynamos are integrated into the front wheel and generate electricity as the student pedals. They are maintenance-free and ensure the lights are always on without needing batteries.

Can my child ride this on light trails too?

Yes. While optimized for city streets, the 26-inch wheel and robust frame make these bikes perfectly capable of handling gravel paths and park shortcuts.

What gear system is best for a 12-year-old?

We recommend a 1x system (single front chainring). It is intuitive to use, reduces the chance of the chain falling off, and provides plenty of range for school-run hills.

How do I prevent school bike theft?

Always use a high-quality D-lock (U-lock) to secure the frame to a permanent fixture. Our 2026 models with integrated frame locks provide an extra layer of "quick-stop" security.
