What They Say...
Built with a lightweight 6061 aluminium frame and fast rolling 2.0” tires, the Charger is designed to supercharge their thirst for adventure. A comfortable, finely tuned geometry promotes safety, confidence, and progression while high-grade rims, hubs, and tyres ensure smooth rides and grip in all conditions. Thoughtful design emphasises sustainability, longevity, and performance, making it a durable, eco-friendly choice that inspires many kids to ride for years to come.
The Charger is handcrafted from 6061 grade aluminium. And it's not just the parts you can see, we swap more steel and plastic for aluminium than anyone else.
Aluminium has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of any metals. It's corrosion resistant and has a flexibility that makes it a pleasure to ride. It's also 100% recyclable. All of which makes our Charger and Big Foot models the best for your kids and for all those they're handed down to.
The Charger runs fast rolling 2.0” wide tyres to give 2-4 year olds the stability they need to learn, the air volume they need for comfort and the grip to tackle mixed terrain, confidently, even in the rain. Because there’s no such thing as the wrong weather. Only the wrong bike.
The Charger features an anatomically designed Ritchey bar and stem combo forged from super light, super strong aluminium. And the internal cable routing isn’t just a cool feature. It allows you to upgrade The Charger to a brake controlled bike as they progress. Sold separately, the light pull, short reach, Tektro rear brake upgrade kit ensures brake control comes exactly when the time is right.
Controls are a matter of trust. Ritchey Logic have been at the forefront of component design for the past 50 years. Tom Ritchey, its indefatigable president and lead designer, is one of the pioneers credited with the invention of mountain biking, amongst other innovations. We have collaborated for over 10 years, producing the best kids specific components to elevate our bikes.
