Academy Grade 4 Blue 20" Kids Bike

ACADEMY Grade 4 is designed for children from 6 to 8 years old. If you are looking for a light and high-quality bike with a timeless design, the ACADEMY Grade 4 is great choice for you.

The bikes were designed by the German company S'COOL in cooperation with the German Institute for Orthopaedics, Osteopathy and Sports Medicine. The Q-factor describes the overall width of the cranks and is important when it comes to the efficiency of the pedaling. The Q-factor should match the rider's step width (the legs are not into an A-position when pedaling) for more power and efficiency. SUPERLIGHT wheels and high-quality VEE tires ensure maximum comfort.

• The 8-speed Shimano / Microshift derailleur provides an optimal gear ratio suitable for children. The DUAL CONTROL gear lever is intuitive and easy to handle. ALLOY brake levers are sized and perfect for small children. The weight of the bicycles for all models is 40 % less than a normal child's body weight.

Emphasis on ergonomics

• ACADEMY bikes were developed in cooperation with the German Institute for Orthopaedics, Osteopathy and Sports Medicine.

Comfort and ergonomics are ensured thanks to deep and narrow bottom bracket to optimalize movement and ergonomics. Short cranks and the upright sitting position make it possible to put feet on the ground at any time and still ensure an ergonomic knee position while driving. The shaping of the frame is adapted for children for easier get on the bike.

A lightweight children's bike will be appreciated not only by children, but also by parents, for example when carrying it, but also at smaller elevations, which children can easily handle even without help with pushing.
