Meet The Bonsai

The Bonsai combines the heirloom beauty of 100% grade A birch with the durability of precision aluminium. It’s strong, sustainable and best of all, insanely beautiful. Featuring Ritchey Logic-designed aluminium components, The Bonsai is built to perform and look good doing it. Lightweight aluminium rims, sealed cartridge bearings, and versatile 1.75”” tyres ensure smooth, stable rides on any terrain. With a focus on sustainability and durability, it’s built to inspire and endure for generations.

Closer look

The full story

No composite. No compromise

The Bonsai is built from 100% grade A Northern European birch. We don’t pad it out with filler and we don’t glue layers of wood shavings together to look like wood. We use real wood, sustainably sourced to last a lifetime.

Birch is a great material. It has a superior strength to weight ratio preventing little ones from toppling under the weight of their own bikes. It’s splinter resistant (of course) and features a pleasing knot free smooth grain.

Heirloom beauty of wood, precision and durability of aluminium

When a bike’s built to last a really long time, you better make sure it’s always nice to look at. The Bonsai is a beautiful combination of engineering acumen and design aesthetics. It’s a great bike, of course. But it’s also a really, really pretty bike.

Unlike The Lite and Classic, the other wooden bikes in the stable, the Bonsai features a precision aluminium finishing kit. We collaborated closely with Ritchey Logic to produce really a small and really good stem and handlebar combo.

Tom Ritchey, its indefatigable president and lead designer, is one of the pioneers credited with the invention of mountain biking, amongst other innovations. We have collaborated for over 10 years, producing the best kids specific components to elevate our bikes.

Tread carefully

The Bonsai runs fast rolling 1.75” wide tyres to give 2-4 year olds the stability they need to learn, the air volume they need for comfort and the grip to tackle mixed terrain, confidently, even in the rain. Because there’s no such thing as the wrong weather. Only the wrong bike.

Sustain-Ability™

Cutting down trees to make bikes isn't sustainable. Kids bikes are the worst, often unable to last even one child. Early RIder's solution? Simple, a contrary design and manufacturing mandate: 'to sustain ability'.

To sustain the ability to inspire, child after child. To build bikes designed to last and to ensure children can reach the level of skill that makes sure they'll always ride. In other words taking an uncompromising focus on form, function and top quality parts built to last.

To sustain the ability of all those involved in the production of our bikes to live healthy, fulfilled lives. In other words creating safe work environments, promoting employee wellness, supporting communities and upholding human rights through the entire supply chain.

A bit special

Lovely bike for the boy. Well made and gets lots of positive comments. Minor point is that the valve caps were missing. Also my two year old has unusually long legs, so this may not last him as long as I would like, but will be pleased that he has memories of this as his first ever bike.

Very Cool!

Bought it for my son for his birthday.

Great bike.

It would be nice if it had some sort of breaking system when going downhill/ slopes.
