The Early Rider Belter 14 on Test promises to be a featherweight kids’ bike, weighing in at just 5.9 kg. But it deliver?
Very lightweight
Maintenance-free belt drive
Comfortable, shock-absorbing tires
Maximum style factor (especially for parents)
Grips too thick for very small hands

Smooth rolling tires, smooth steering, smooth shifting, the Early Rider Belter 24 is one impressively smooth kid's bike. Read the full review.
Impressively smooth ride
Shimano Nexus internal hub provides seamless shifting and eliminates the finicky derailleur
Grip shifter is very easy to engage
Belt drive requires minimal maintenance
Pedals are gorgeous and spin effortlessly on their spindle
Hydraulic disc brakes for exceptional, all-weather braking power
Smooth tread on cushioning Vee Speedster tires minimizes rolling resistance
Higher standover height limits the lowest seat height
Slightly aggressive geometry limits good fit on the high end
Costs $999, highest priced 24" urban kids bike in US
Smooth-rolling traction not best on wet pavement
Smaller growth range than expected for the price
