First off this is America where we have schrader valves and not Presta. I had no way to inflate the tires for Christmas morning. I live in the country and have limited resources nearby. I ordered adapters online from Amazon. Then I was disappointed to learn that there is no kickstand back to Amazon. Next my 8 year old athletic granddaughter could not stand the seat, her bottom was too sore to ride the next day. Back to Amazon, I purchased a Gel padded seat bike Saddle cushion that refused to stay in place. Back to Amazon to purchase a replacement comfort bike seat with memory foam, which is still held up due to severe weather in many parts of the country. Other than that it’s a perfect bicycle. She loves the bike and is patiently awaiting the new seat.

This bike is amazing. My daughter loves it! The spec and geometry give her confidence when riding off road. My only suggestion to improve the bike is thru axles - just make sure you do up the QR tight enough in the drop outs.

Excellent bike, but I had to assemble all parts manually, very annoying!

Das Velo ist wunderschön und fährt sich bestens.

Für mich als Laie ist das Zusammenbauen des Velos sehr schwierig, ich habe es dem Velohändler gebracht, was natürlich etwas kostete. Sehr schade, dass man dieEearlyrider nur noch online bestellen kann und die Velos nicht bei Fachhändlern gekauft werden kann.

Aber jetzt, zusammengebaut, hat das Kind grosse Freude am sehr coolen Velo.

The Seeker's strenghts are the transmission (wide gear range and very low granny gear). Living in a hilly area, it was the first time in my daughter's life that she could eventually absolve on the bike the usual climbs she used to hike-a-bike on her erlier bike. We/I also love the minimalist look of the raw aluminium with very modest branding and enjoy the results of the attention the bike was pre-assembled with (the derailleur works as a charm). Most obviously we appreciate the quality components, the Ritchey handlebar, the aluminium flat pedals, the brakes, shifter, derailleur.

I miss, however, some of the more contemporary stuff: thru-axles, tubeless-ready tyres (possibly of a European brand), a carbon fork, more eyelets for mounting bags e.g. on the fork, top-tube, down-tube (both sides), internal cable routing. Weight could also be decreased a bit.

I chose the Seeker 24 versus a competitor's similar bike of exactly the same price for two reasons: the large cassette range and the modest look (don't really want to show off). In almost all other aspects the competition's bike is better: weights less by 10%, has a carbon fork, thru-axles, slightly less aggressive geometry, tubeless-ready tyres (and rims). Don't misunderstand me: this is not a statement suggesting that hat the Seeker is not good enough. I just want to say that there's some room for improving an already very good bike.

Great bike, 3 rd early rider purchased. Had to add a kick stand.

Hello, it's our 3rd EarlyRider. (Belter16, Seeker20) I was always happy with the last two bikes. To the 3rd one, I can not say anything. It's a Christmas present for my son. I'm looking forward to have a ride with him and his new bike next year. Have a nice evening. Best Regards Hannes.

Yea my 7 year on old son loving his seeker 24 ,that’s his 2nd early rider and he’s loving it

And he’s saying he love riding everyday and that his favourite bike in the world 😃

But the quality isn’t that good compare to the last early rider 16” he had I mean the finishing
