Can I make a testride?
Why choose a lightweight bike?
The bikes of Stip children’s bikes have a balanced children’s geometry. All parts are made for children: Small cranks, small handles, small brake levers, which are adjustable to the child’s hand size, small saddles and what I find most important is that the bicycles are as light as possible. Thanks to the good geometry and light weight, the child cycles more stable and the child has better control of the bicycle. They therefore fall less hard
Why handbrakes?
Kinderen kunnen een gestarte beweging niet snel genoeg onderbreken: Als ze vooruit trappen, is terugtrappen een tegenoverstelde beweging. In geval van nood reageren de handen sneller! Dit resulteert in een “taakverdeling”: De voeten zijn er voor voortbeweging en de handen zijn voor sturen, bellen en remmen!
Op onze fietsen zitten kinderremgrepen ( Woombikes en Frogbikes), die allemaal op kinderhandgrootte verstelbaar zijn. Let er op dat de handvatten niet te groot zijn, kleine kinderhandjes kunnen dan moeilijker bij de remgrepen. Als de handvatten klein zijn, heeft je kind meer grip op het stuur en kan hij beter bij de remgrepen. Woom en Frogbikes hebben de kleinste handvatten.
Training wheels, yes or no?
Children can not interrupt a started movement quickly enough: If they kick ahead, retraction is an opposite movement. In case of emergency the hands react faster! This results in a “task distribution”: the feet are there for locomotion and the hands are for steering, calling and braking!
On our bikes there are child restraints (Woombikes and Frogbikes), which are all adjustable to children’s size. Make sure that the handles are not too big, small children’s hands can be more difficult with the brake levers. If the handles are small, your child has more grip on the handlebars and he is better at the brake levers. Woom and Frogbikes have the smallest handles.

Sizes
What framesize do I need?
An ordinary steel Dutch bicycle is about 2/3 of the body weight of the child. An aluminum bicycle is 1/3 of the child’s body weight. Dutch 16 inch bicycles weigh 12-15 kg for a child aged 3-5 years. For an adult weighing 75 kg, this is proportionally 50 kg. Your bike with luggage does not weigh that during a camping holiday!
Such a steel bicycle is difficult for your child to control and then more easily traps your child. They are unsafe.
With a lightweight bicycle your child can ride longer distances, gets on more easily, starts faster, can cycle faster and more easily up a hill.
The Woom children’s bicycle 16 inches weighs 5.7 kg. A Frog bike weighs 6.75 kg.
In general, the proportions are also good with the lightweight bikes. Such as small handles and small brake levers, so that the little fingers can easily reach the brakes. Short cranks, small saddles and a not too wide handlebar.
Measurements bicycles
Om de juiste maat kinderfiets te bepalen houden wij onderstaande tabel aan. Let op, dit is een gemiddelde voor kinderen.

| 32cm | 1 tot 3 jaar | 12″ | 4″ |
| 38cm | 3 tot 4 jaar | 14″ | 9″ |
| 43cm | 3 tot 4 jaar | 14″ | 9″ |
| 48cm | 4 tot 5 jaar | 16″ | 9.5″ |
| 52cm | 5 tot 6 jaar | 20″ | 10″ |
| 55cm | 6 tot 7 jaar | 20″ | 11″ |
