The full story
Geometry to get kids moving
We’ve gone for a relaxed, stable geometry for the Seeker. We want kids to be upright-ish for comfort but still able to engage their core and glutes (the muscles that keep you pedalling for longer.)
The front end of the bike (wheel base) is stretched out, making it stable and less likely to flick out unexpectedly if the front wheel hits a curb or tree root.
Finally, the stack and reach (the angles of the triangle bit of the frame) are not too high and not too stretched, making descending fun not frightening. Progress comes when those 3 areas of geometry work in harmony.
A, no rust, no fuss carbon drive train
It’s easy to clean, requires almost no maintenance and is good for 20’000km.
Paired with a top-tier cassette hub and sealed cartridge bearings, it delivers peak all weather, all terrain performance.
Wheely great wheels
Whether it’s too heavy, too flimsy or simply too unresponsive, a poor quality wheel will suck the joy out of riding with every leg-aching, sluggish pedal stroke.
We designed the Seeker with shock absorbing aluminium rims, a small but mighty cassette hub and 20 spokes for strength and stiffness.
Power transfer shouldn’t just be for the pros. It keeps legs fresher, for longer. extending the ride for everyone.
Super lightweight aluminium, beautifully crafted to last for years
It’s also a responsive material transferring more power from the pedals to the wheels. In real terms, this means it’s easier to pedal further for longer.
The benefit is a bike that literally goes the distance.
Tyres that keep them on track
Whether you’re navigating mud, berms, ruts or roots, our 2.25" knobbly tyres deliver traction, control and protection.
Bigger tyre volume means more air and therefore more cushioning, so that riding won’t just be safer and more adventurous, it’ll be more enjoyable too.
Touchpoints that elevate control
Ritchey Logic have been at the forefront of component design for the past 50 years. We’ve collaborated with them for over a decade, producing some of the best age specific components to ever grace a kids’ bike.
Light, powerful brakes they can trust
We design The Seeker with powerful, age specific Tektro V brakes with ultra short reach levers and light-pull actuation, making braking easy even for the smallest of hands. Braking feedback is smooth and responsive, helping developing riders understand what smooth stopping feels like when the riding picks up.
The all aluminium lever construction ensures the brakes aren’t at risk should the bike inevitably be dropped to the ground.

My Daughter loves it and a very nice bike.
Kiddo is SUPER happy with the color, I'm happy with the build quality and hub sound (i mean..).
It's all great!
Le meilleur des vélos, léger et agréable :-)
Very well made bike my daughter loves it!
The hydraulic brakes and wide tyres are a game changer and give him lots of confidence to progress. The belt is a great addition for lighter maintenance. Child and Dad very happy with bike!
Unser Kind liebt sein Fahrrad und fährt deshalb täglich. Das Fahrrad ist sehr wartungsarm und steckt vieles weg. Leicht, sieht gut aus, gutes handling
Ein seitenständer wäre noch schön gewesen.
My son loves it so much. Every part is delicate and beautiful.
It is the PERFECT kids bike.
The Seeker 16, replaced the Canyon Offspring 16 that I had (from my older kid), and it is better in everything. It feels (and it is) way more light, and more important, has better geometry, the kids possition on the Seeker 16 is better, and he can pedal better.
Thank you !
it really suits her perfectly, good position, light, beautiful, good finishes and excellent material.
Easy setup. quick shipping from OR to SF. Our son loved his early rider balance bike and took to this right away (after riding another brand’s 14 in pedal bike). I was worried the mtb setup might be hard for him, but it’s perfect and he loves riding on both dirt and pavement.
So happy we got this bike for our daughter. For a long time she had been struggling with her 12 inch entry level kids bike, and was quite frustrated over the weight and geometry of that bike. We tried everything from a walking stick mounted on the stem of the saddle, to training wheels. So after reading a lot of reviews about the ER bikes, we finally took the plunge and splashed out on a Seeker 16. We considered the Belter 16 at first, but we went the extra mile and payed the higher price to get the tires and pedals of the Seeker. The bike is smooth even on flat pavement but its strength comes when riding on dirt/off-road. The tires also adds some extra “suspension” making the ride less bumpy. The package arrived after a couple of days after ordering it online from ER Co (Belgium). Assembling the bike was quite easy. The only adjustment I had to make additionally was to correct the alignment of the fork holding the handle bar in order to make the front wheel run straight. On her first try, our daughter immediately got the hang of striding by pushing the bike using only her feet. Then, a few moments later, she started pedaling effortlessly! There were absolutely no issues with handling the bike and she really benefited from its light weight and solid build. The pure joy she expressed during her first ride was worth every penny for this bike. And after a couple of miles on the bike she clearly got exhausted so I just took the bike in one hand and my daughter on the other hand, and we started to walk home. Once again, the light weight of this bike makes it really easy for me as a parent to carry it along. I’m really excited about taking our daughter and her new bike for more rides.
My 4 year old son loved his Seeker 16 as soon as he first got on to it. Within 10 minutes he was able to pedal by himself. The bike is well made an very light for little ones to be able to control. The bike was easy to assemble with the tools provided. Although the bike is expensive, I feel it has been worth the money as I know my boy will get many hours of enjoyment from riding this bike.
My son just turned 4 and went from a 14 inch Woom 2 to the Early Rider Seeker 16… I think it was the perfect progression… My favorite thing is the pedals, actually, because they have a more aggressive grip on them, compared to other 16 inch bikes. And this is crucial to me, because my son’s feet often flew off the Woom pedals, causing him to lose control. The Seeker pedals have been much better for grip… Also, the wider tires on the Seeker are wonderful for loose dirt…. The build is super light and the geometry is supportive for trails and pump tracks… It’s been a seamless transition, and I’m totally impressed by the Seeker…. Thanks for a great design and quality components!
This is the third bike I have purchased, simply outstanding. Although it is expensive, the quality is evident and to invest in good kit has given my children a significant advantage when learning to ride and with their general progression.
Super!!!
My son love his new bike. He is riding now much more. The quality of the product is very good. Even with small hands it’s easy to access the brakes. It’s not difficult to assemble
I can highly recommend this bike!
Exactly what we were looking for our 4 year old is zooming and skidding and finally able to use his breaks properly. All other bikes were not designed for little hands. It's perfect and he loves it
Super bike und super Service...gerne wieder 🖖
Very good bike and Service...Thank you
Very well constructed and really ease to assemble
My daughter learn in 2 times
really raccomanded
Best bike ever my kid loves it
It’s the perfect bike for our 3.5 year old - super silent and amazing build quality. It’s leagues ahead of his previous Frog bike - can’t imagine there’s a better bike available than this.
Brilliant bike for our five year old! We got this as a present for our daughter, and it has made it so easy for her to practice riding independently. It is so lightweight and easy for her to hold up and manoeuvre herself. It also looks great! Super stylish for a little girls bike. She loves it and so do we!
Very solid build quality, and the belt drive is very quiet!
My son loves it, he grew up from his 14" seeker, and he just continue to enjoy even longer trips. The bike is so easy for him to handle,
Après les 2 premières années sur un draisine, mon fils est monté sur le vélo et a démarré du premier coup. Vélo maniable, léger, facile
