For kids, cycling is an important step towards independence, which is perfectly achieved with the lightweight Numove 140. Its specially designed frame along with a suitable fork has been optimized for low weight and equipped with components that are both lightweight and robust, such as a CUBE stem and Thun bottom bracket (made in Germany). We have fitted narrow tires on the lightweight wheels, and added V-brakes with child-friendly levers and grips, so that small hands can operate them optimally. Because we have rounded all edges and completely covered the chain, safety is also well addressed. Good to know: Despite its low weight, this bike easily withstands all demands during the first riding attempts – or even bolder maneuvers.
