Closer look
The full story
Progression from the first push off
Even for a balance bike, even for a toddler. Because a finely tuned geometry is the difference between a lifetime of riding or a balance bike they can’t be bothered with.
Good geometry, the stuff we obsess over, means safety, confidence, progress and, of course, fun. It's a science and an art, and something we have dialled in over 18 years of pioneering kids bike design.

Lightweight aluminium, beautifully crafted
The Charger is handcrafted from 6061 grade aluminium. And it's not just the parts you can see, we swap more steel and plastic for aluminium than anyone else.
Aluminium has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metals. It's corrosion resistant and has a flexibility that makes it a pleasure to ride. It's also 100% recyclable. All of which makes our Charger and Big Foot models the best for your kids and for all those they're handed down to.

Roll model
The Charger specs market leading aluminium rims and hubs to save weight and high ABEC grade sealed cartridge bearings to minimise weight and rolling resistance.
By specifying such high grade wheel sets, we are able to justify investing weight in tyres that provide the safety and performance that make all the difference, without handing them a weight penalty.

Tread carefully
The Charger runs fast rolling 2.0” 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.
Designed to ride, built to upgrade.
The Charger features an anatomically designed Ritchey bar and stem combo forged from super light, super strong aluminium. And the internal cable routing isn’t just a cool feature. It allows you to upgrade The Charger to a brake controlled bike as they progress. Sold separately, the light pull, short reach, Tektro rear brake upgrade kit ensures brake control comes exactly when the time is right.

Sustain-Ability™
Taking materials out of the ground 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.
