The frames of almost all cycle models are made of high quality chromium-molybdenum steel. It can also be noted that many children's bicycles differ from each other only in their external design for various cartoons. This makes it possible for your child to participate in the selection of his own vehicle. On children's models, the brakes are pedal, on adolescents and adults - rim brakes are provided. The numbers next to the model name indicate the diameter of the wheel in inches. So, the Hotwheels 18 bike is a bicycle model with wheels with a diameter of 18 inches, and Hotwheels 20 - with wheels of 20 inches.
Various color variations of the design of bicycles for teens and adults will satisfy any demanding taste. So, even though the Sport bike models are declared female, you can find both blue and blue-black specimens that are suitable for teenage boys (men). And among Safire models, it is easy to find both gray and blue, and white and blue bicycles. You should also pay attention to high quality of materials and assembly of the structure - this significantly increases the operational life.
How to choose?
First of all, when choosing a bicycle, you need to focus on the age and gender of the future user. If you buy a bike for your baby, give him the opportunity to choose a model himself - as mentioned above, the whole difference between the different lines comes down to the external design, without affecting the quality of the materials used in the production and other characteristics.
Do not hesitate to ask the seller for advice - what size the wheels should be, what weight the bike is designed for, specify other characteristics. This applies equally to regular and online stores.
