On the Precaliber 16, your kids will learn how to ride a bike while having fun. This bike has one gear and two handbrakes so that your offspring learns how to use brake levers safely from the start. The handle integrated into the saddle helps you keep the bike on track when needed, and the training wheels are easy to attach and remove without tools. For children from 4 to 5 years and between 99 and 117 cm.
It's the right bike for you if…
… you are dying to teach your offspring how to ride a bike and you want it to be an unforgettable experience. You're looking for a bike that's primarily fun and easy to use, but still gives the little ones a chance to learn and practice the basics, like using the handbrake. You don't want a discount bike, you want a high-quality bike that gives your child confidence and optimal control.
You get this equipment
This children's bike is based on a lightweight Alpha Silver Aluminium frame and comes with one gear and two hand brakes with brake levers optimized for small children's hands. The handle integrated into the saddle can be replaced with a rear light mount. The support wheels can be attached and removed in no time at all without tools.
Our last word
With the first bike for your offspring, you should make sure that it is comfortable and robust and of course a lot of fun. 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
- You don't need more than one gear – a simple setup inspires confidence and helps the little ones to stay in control at all times
- The handle integrated into the saddle can be replaced with an integrated taillight mount for increased visibility on family outings and solo excursions
- 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
- 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
- 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
Features
Alpha aluminium frame
Trek's lightweight, high-performance aluminium alloy is durable and corrosion-resistant.
Handbrakes

Simple circuit
Fewer gears make it easier for children who are just learning to shift gears or who don't need that many gears.
Single speed
Gearless so beginner bikers can focus on balance and their first advances in riding technique.
