Adventure made easier.

Meet the Belter 14

The Belter 14” bike gives our youngest pedallers everything they need to progress. It features a grease-free Gates Carbon Belt drivetrain for low maintenance and long-lasting durability. Constructed from lightweight, robust 6061-grade aluminium, it offers power transfer and comfort at an astounding 5.5kg. The bike's geometry ensures easy handling and control, while age-specific Tektro V brakes provide safe stopping. The 2” fast-rolling tyres and advanced wheelset enhance stability and reduce maintenance, making it perfect for little adventurers.

Closer look

The full story

Super lightweight aluminium, beautifully crafted to last for years

We use 6061-grade aluminium in our bikes. It's fantastic material. Strong yet light, weatherproof and super robust.

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 helping little ones practise their newly acquired skills for longer before fatigue kicks in.

Geometry to get kids moving

The Gates Carbon Belt drive is just a brilliant piece of kit. It replaces the traditional steel chain and cassette with a robust, stretch resistant, and best of all completely grease-free drivetrain.

It’s easy to clean, requires almost no maintenance and is good for 20’000km.

Paired with a top-tier hyperglide freehub and aluminium sprockets, you get peak performance from a bike that’s always ready to ride.

Little levers, big stopping power

The Belter 14” features powerful, age specific Tektro V brakes with ultra short reach levers and light-pull actuation, making braking easy even for the smallest hands. Braking feedback is smooth and responsive, helping little ones learn what smooth stopping feels like, right from the start.

The all-aluminium lever construction ensures the brakes aren’t at risk should the bike be dropped to the ground.

Wheels that reset expectations

The Belter wheelset is built for sustained performance, helping little legs travel further and cope with more obstacles over and again.

We were the first bike company to bring cartridge bearings and cassette hubs to any kids bike. And with the game changing impact our latest 4 bearing model has had on weight, friction and durability, we had no choice but to roll it out, even on our 14” bikes - after all, it’s the smallest riders that need the most support.

Coupled with super light weight aluminium rims and cartridge bearing throughout, you can look forward to more of the riding you love, and less of the maintenance you don’t.

Tyres that won't throw them off track

The Belter 14 runs 1.95”, fast rolling tyres as standard, so that developing riding skills is made easier, safer and more enjoyable than the 1.5" tyres typically found on kids bikes.

Their extra volume and grip provide added control over the lumps and bumps and give the cushioning that makes riding more enjoyable.

1.95” tyres are also much more stable, especially in tricky conditions. With a bike that is more stable, you can shorten the rear triangle, and that improves handling and manoeuvrability making the bike more capable still.

Touchpoints that elevate control

Every one of The Belter’s touchpoints, be that the bars, saddle, pedals or grips has been anatomically designed to properly fit and function for super small riders.

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 best age specific components to ever grace a kids’ bike.

Love the bike but why not move the production to Europe?

No issues with quality and the bike is great. But from a sustainability and political view it should be produced I Europe

Excellent bike

Incredible bike, my 3 year old got amazingly well with it. He got the hang of pedaling in 15 mins, blew me away. Albeit he had some good practice on his balance bike before but I'm sure the Belter also helped his transition.

Confident from the first ride

This was the first pedal bicycle for my daugther and she felt comfortable on it from the first ride!

Bike is according to specifications, easy to ride and really nice!

Customer Service is also good, they answer fast and with solutions.

I’m not rating 5 stars for 2 reasons:

- there were some reflective parts on the packaging box that I’ve been unable to assemble. There is no explanation on the manual neither any DIY video. And I’ve realized that they don’t fit into 14” rims! Why are they in the box, then?

- My package had been opened before arriving my home and all protecting foams were moved, not protecting the bike. Fortunately, bike was intiger, but at first glance I was disappointed.

Awesome

Awesome bike for my 2-year-old son. We let him scoot around without the pedals for a week (like a balance bike) to get used to the frame then off he went!

Nice bike, don't expect help after you've paid your money

Bike seems great. I had issues with accessories and the whilst the online help responded they were ill informed and gave me no useful advise before ignoring me completely. Very poor indeed.

It looks like you had a problem fitting your reflectors which we offered suggestions to help. Hopefully you managed to resolve the issue and your son is enjoying his bike!

Great evolution after balance bike

At age 2,5 my son asked for a pedal bike after riding his early rider balance bike for a few month.

It took him less than 30 minutes to learn riding his new bike with pedals. Both the Belter 14 and the Charger balance bike are really great for kids to learn. Great quality, light weight, well positioned makes the job easy and enjoyable for kids to learn riding a bicycle. Evolving with more or less the same model from balance to pedal is a plus and give confidence to the kid.

Extra: Dad enjoy having these great looking bikes around.
