Learning to ride a bike is a rite of passage for all of us, and a light bike just makes the process a little easier. The Numove 140’s specially designed frame and fork is built with low weight in mind, and matched with components – like the CUBE stem and German-made Thun bottom bracket – that are also light and durable. Light wheels are shod with narrow tyres, and we fitted V-brakes front and rear – with levers, handlebars and grips matched to small hands – for their simplicity and ease of use. We haven’t forgotten safety, of course, which is why edges are all rounded and the chain is entirely enclosed. And, although it’s light, it’s also built to be child-tough, so it’ll easily stand up to some spirited play as your child’s confidence grows.
