So a kid gets this bike for their birthday, and within a week they're bombing down a gravel path on it, which is exactly the kind of abuse the steel frame is built for—we've seen these things come back after a season of that with just a few scuffs, not bent. Pricing breaks down pretty cleanly: samples run about $45-55 depending on the wheel size, mid-range orders of 650 units land around $28-32 per bike, and if you're looking at a full container, we can get that down closer to $22-25.
The frame is high-strength steel, and what it does is take the constant banging from curbs and jumps without cracking, though the fork type depends on what you're after—steel CO2 welded is standdard, but we can swap in a suspension fork for an extra $3 or so. 3-8 years is the sweet spot for this, and the unisex design means you're not stuck with two SKUs for boys and girls, which simplifies inventory a lot.
Wheel sizes of 12, 16, and 20 inches cover the growth range pretty well, and the tire widths go from 1.75 up to 2.4 inches—most buyers go with the 2.125 for good balance of grip and rolling resistnce on pavement. Butyl rubber inner tubes hold air better than standard rubber, so you'll have fewer flats to deal with, and the full chain cover keeps little fingers and pant legs out of trouble.
Brake options are flexible: we can do caliper, band, V-brake, or foot brake depending on what your customers prefer, and the rims can be steel or alloy—alloy saves about half a pound per wheel, which kids notice when they're learning to balance. One thing that's not great for this bike is serious downhill mountain biking, because geometry is more BMX-style and the steel frame adds weight that makes climbing steep trails a chore.
Minimum order is 650 units, and our company offer OEM/ODM service if you want custom colors beyond the standard blue, white, or yellow—we've done pink and green before, but lead time adds 2-3 weeks for that. The chain system uses a one-piece crank, which is actually stronger than multi-piece setups for this price point, and training wheels are avaliable as an add-on (usually 2-4 weeks for those).
The MOQ is 650 units per order. Yes, you can mix colors and wheel sizes within that quantity—just let us know the breakdown when you place the order.
We can provide EN 14765 or ASTM F963 compliance certificates depending on your target market. Let us know which standard you need, and we’ll include the relevant docs with the shipment.
Yes, we offer both options. You can choose the steel CO2 welded fork or a suspension fork—just specify which one you want when confirming the order.
Typical lead time is 30-45 days after order confirmation and deposit. It can vary a bit based on the mix of colors and specs, but we’ll give you a firm timeline before production starts.
Each bike comes partially assembled in a sturdy cardboard box, with training wheels and reflectors included. Yes, OEM/ODM is available—we can add your logo on the frame, packaging, and manual. Just send us your artwork.
