Our son loves the Belter and we have been getting plenty of comments from other parents at the park. It is sturdy, well-built, and certainly a high-quality product.

The bike is great but we bought it as a birthday present for our kid and the delivery fast extremely slow. Eventhough we placed the order way ahead of time need didnt get it in time.
And the shipment was in 3 parts; bike, kickstand and some spare parts for another bike which was forgotten in the first shipment.
I am pretty sure our son would have been happier with the bike on his birthday instead of a picture of it.
And we of coursed payed for the shipment.

Hi Thomas, I'm really sorry we let you down on this one. Having looked at the order I can see that one of the small parts was on pre-order and the whole lot was held until that came in. That was definitely our error for not over-riding the computer and sending the bike. I can only apologise, we should have done better. I really hope your son loves his new bike now he has it, and apologies for the stress and upset for not getting his birthday present there in good time.
The belt won't move to the middle. Followed the instructions video. But nothing changes.
The second thing is that it's really difficult to find mudguards and a kickstand to fit early rider.
If you know where on the internet and in Europe let know.
Other than that the bike is fine and my daughter love's it

We gave our daughter the Belter 16 for her 4th birthday. She's 6 now and still loving it. We are a bike commuting family, so we needed her first pedal bike to be something easy to ride to build her confidence. That's how we justified the cost of this bike. We also have a younger daughter to pass it on to when she outgrows it. She had been riding a balance bike since age 2. We took off the pedals at first to let her transition to the bigger frame and get used to the hand brakes. She probably would have fit a 14 better, but it's a big investment and we wanted some longevity! After a couple weeks on her tip toes riding like a balance bike, we put the pedals back on. At first, she needed help getting going, but was soon biking completely independently, and even managed a 3 km commute to preschool most days! It's a beautiful, well built bike that turns a lot of heads! We'll definitely buy the next size up when she outgrows this one and passes it down to her little sister.

My daughter use to drive on balance bike last year, this year we bought ER. We went to the straight and flat area, she sat on it and drove. As simple as that. She is still a bit to short, but she feels it already. One cons (for this size and also for 24 inches, which we bought for our older daughter) - there is literally NO bicycle stand available on local market. Such expensive bikes must lay on the ground.

Hi Krystian, thank you for your review - the bike stand for the 14" and 16" bikes will be available to purchase in the next month!
A piece of a bicycle mastercraft. However a riding position could be improved.

The bike is really light compared with other brands and you can feel the quality. I had a little issue after the delivery but the after sales service was perfect!

My 4-year-old had just got the hang of cycling without stabilisers and I got her this to progress to. Wow, such a great bike, it's made cycling so much easier that her progression has lept on and she is flying now. We go out riding together now side by side and she covered about two miles on only her third time out on the Belter.

My five-year-old son was tooling around on a 20 inch trek pre-caliber, which was too big for him. His first ride on the belter was hilarious. He could barely control it. It was so much lighter and twitchy. It took him about 15 minutes before he was ripping around. What an improvement. He’s climbing little bumps and hills in our neighborhood that nearly caused tears before. Worth every penny.

Simply the best bike for kids, wish I had one of these when I was growing up... Lightweight, high quality, easy to maintain, great look. The "factory second" had a couple of minor blemishes (way less than my son would add in about a month).
