Reid Explorer 16" w/ training wheels Kids Bike Red

The Reid Explorer 16" Kids Bike is designed to help young riders build confidence, develop balance, and enjoy the freedom of riding. Its child-friendly proportions, stable handling, and included training wheels make it a practical first bicycle for neighborhood rides, paved paths, and family outings.

The bright red finish gives the Explorer a fun, energetic look, while the removable training wheels allow the bicycle to adapt as riding skills improve. A rear coaster brake provides familiar pedal-back stopping, and the front hand brake helps introduce the controls commonly found on larger bicycles.

Best For

• Children learning to ride a pedal bicycle
• Neighborhood riding and paved paths
• Family bike rides
• Building balance, coordination, and confidence
• Young riders transitioning away from training wheels

Why We Like It at Kickstand Culture

The Explorer 16" keeps the learning process straightforward. Its kid-sized controls and stable frame help young riders feel comfortable, while the included training wheels provide extra support during the early stages of riding.

We also like the combination of a rear coaster brake and front hand brake. Children can use the simple pedal-back brake while gradually becoming familiar with hand-brake operation before moving to a larger bicycle.

• Red finish: Bright, easy-to-see styling with a classic kids-bike appearance.

Choosing the Right Size

A 16-inch bicycle is commonly suitable for children approximately 4 to 6 years old, but age alone does not determine proper fit. Height, inseam, coordination, and riding experience are more important. A properly fitting bicycle is easier to control and helps a young rider feel more secure.

We recommend having the child stand over and sit on the bicycle before purchase whenever possible. Kickstand Culture is happy to help determine whether the Explorer 16" is the appropriate size.
