Origin

The Kids Quick mirrors the adult Quick hybrid concept: a flat-bar, upright fitness bike designed to teach young riders road confidence on smooth surfaces. The 7-speed gearing with low-torque twist shifters means small hands can shift without fighting the lever, and the lightweight ~8.7 kg frame means kids can actually lift and manoeuvre their own bike. It is designed for the pavement-oriented young rider graduating from training wheels.
