DMR Bike Sidekick Pedal Red 16

The DMR Sidekick Pedal is the best new kids’ bike for riders who are ready to step up the big leagues and get pedalling – whether that’s at the local trails, pump track, dirt spot or just on the way to school and back. Like the Sidekick Balance bike, this DMR kids’ bike also features a ‘mullet’ setup with a larger 18” front wheel coupled with a 16” rear.

The “mullet” set up also allows for a greater bottom bracket drop (a lower crank set height); this alongside short cranks and a slack seat angle allows the rider to have their feet flat on the ground when stationary, yet with the correct leg extension whilst seated and pedalling.

The added benefit here for the Sidekick Pedal bike is that it has a low centre of gravity as the bottom bracket is well below the centres between the front and rear wheel. In simple terms, this makes the bike very stable to pedal and control.

The geometry for our pedal bike is designed to make the bike as easy to get pedalling as possible – the long wheelbase, short cranks and being appropriately geared allows for that initial push from standstill to be as easy as possible allowing the rider to get up to speed with little effort. Kids will love riding the DMR Sidekick, no doubt about that.

So now the rider can put in the pedal power – we also need to learn to control our speed, and with the size specific full hydraulic disc brakes there is plenty of easy braking power on tap that’s very easy to control. Smaller-diameter handlebars and grips make the riding experience even better for smaller hands.
