The Precaliber 12 is the perfect first bike for junior cyclists who are ready to switch to two wheels earlier than their peers. It has a handle integrated in the saddle so that you can give your offspring a hand at the beginning. Its support wheels can be attached and detached without any tools. For children from 3 to 4 years and between 90 and 102 cm.
It's the right bike for you if…
… your offspring is ready for their first real bike. You want to give your child a great first experience on a bike that's comfortable, durable, and a lot of fun.
You get this equipment
This toddler-friendly coaster-brake bike has a handle built into the saddle if you need a little help getting started. And about training wheels that can be attached and removed completely without tools and literally in no time at all. The lightweight aluminium frame is easy to manoeuvre.
Our last word
When it comes to the first bike for your offspring, you should make sure that it is comfortable, robust and fun to ride. All of our bikes, from pro racers to little ones, are built to our highest standards, so you can feel confident about choosing a Trek bike for your family.
Why you will love it
- The moment when your offspring rides their bike for the first time is something very special and you will always remember it
- This bike makes several children's hearts beat faster: It is designed to last a long time so that it can be passed on to younger siblings and still feel like new
- It's worth investing in a kids' bike from a well-established bike brand – Trek kids' bikes are assembled by people who know their stuff
- As with all Precaliber models, the frame is lower to allow kids to stand over the bike and make it easier to get on and off
